    i think hatton should retire and enjoy his earnings. However i still think hatton bullys most if not all at 140, (apart from p4p elite) thought it before the weekend and still do

    only question mark is if his punch resistants is completely shot after a career lightweight (lazcano) had him buzzed

    so what about hatton having one last hurrah against prescott, Prescott is slow, wild and punches more wide then hatton, OK he punches hard but hasn't got the timing, hand speed or skills hatton struggles with

    i think hatton knocks him out or beats him in a similar manner to Urango, this would do well at the gate as prescott is known as the man who KO'd Khan and a great way to go out beating an unbeaten fighter.

    id fancy hatton to win easily for the reason you mention.

    Id prefer to see him and witter to get it on, would be sell-able with the grudge thing they have for each other. Not sure hatton would want to line witters pockets though.

    Psshhhhhhh! I think Hatton still would have enough left for someone like Presscott. Hatton is a proven product who faced the best. At this point no way. I'd like to see Hatton go out facing the old man nate campbell. That would be a good fight to see if Nate belongs at 140 or to see if Hatton still has it.

    and we're going to see head movement from Hatton at this point? Presscot is going to starch him Amir Khan style.

    Prescott is not Manny Pacquiao. He is nowhere near as fast. Pacquiao has the one of the fastest reflexes I have ever seen. He picks up slight cues from his oppenent right when they are about to throw a punch. Before the impulse reaches their arms to throw, Manny has already countered it. I don't think prescott beats Hatton.

    Dare I say Hatton is past his best. This is a fight he should avoid.

    How is he past his best. Him and Manny are the same age. Manny has definitely been in more wars than Hatton and has had more fights. Manny is in his prime. Hatton has lost confidence for sure but Physically he is still capable. Prescott would lose to Hatton. Make him fight Nate Campbell, thats what I want to see.

    only way prescott wins is if hatton is completely shot and we can't judge that on the pacquiao performance

    have you seen how robotic and slow prescott is? the hatton that fought paulie, urango knocks him out
