    If the top guys in the light weight division moved up in weight, how do you think they would do against Hatton?

    I personally feel Hatton has definitely lost a step and his physical advantages wouldnt be as imposing as they would have been a couple years ago. I would favor both Casamayor and Campbell who are both older than "The Hitman" but both still have plenty in the tank.

    I would favour Hatton to beat either Casamayor or Campbell to be honest.

    Hatton would whoop them a new one, lets get serious. There is some terrible ass underrating going on, just because he didn't look top level elite in his comeback from a loss :patsch

    Alot of people seem to think Katsidis would give Hatton a good scrap and he was a recent victum of a Casamayor "check hook". We all know Hatton is open to getting caught with the left as was the case against Mayweather and even Lazcano hurt him with the left. Casa has an excellent left hand and managed to sustain his attack against an aggressive pressure fighter like Katsidis who I think hits harder than Hatton. It would be an interesting fight.

    I'd pick the wily vet Casamayor to beat Hatton, but most certainly not Katsidis.

    Hatton couldn't even whoop Lazcano; he had his ass bailed out by the ref. Your conclusion hardly seems self evident.

    Maybe Casamayor would have had a great chance a few years back but not now.

    Hatton beats all the 135 fighters, Casamayor, Campbell, Katsidis the lot.

    Casamayor would be the only one who would stand a chance; it would still be 60-40 in Hatton's favour IMHO.

    I would say that he whooped Lazcano to be honest.

    I had it 118-110, possibly 119-109 if being harsh to Lazcano - and so what if he hurt Hatton, the key is how you deal with being hurt. Do you just stand there and let him lamp you?

    He could have had Lazcano out of there a couple of times, but credit to Juan, he sucked up the punishment, and in my opinion, deserved to hear the final bell.

    I don't think its the ale that stops him getting to 135, he's just to big. He makes 140 without an ounce of fat on him.
