    Who has Hatton beaten? He's beaten no one except for Tszyu by cheating. Hatton has always been an overrated piece of **** of a boxer.

    At this point in time, Bradley is better and he has proved it, but if we are talking from an all-time stand point Hatton is far more the greater fighter at JWW, for now.

    Ratings are based on current fights and accomplishments kid . . . Bradley is undefeated until now, Hatton lost twive already. Bradley is a title holder at the division while Hatton has nothing . . . what is hard to understand there?

    Hatton's resume better then Bradley's? When has Hatton beat a legit opponent without the help of hometown referees or gift decisions? I can only think of one and that's Paul Malignaggii. Bradley even beat Junior Witter, a boxer that Hatton didn't have the balls to face.

    I can't respect a boxer who's main strength is to hit and hold and fight dirty. Floyd Mayweather Jr is right, Hatton is a very overrated boxer.

    All of the people saying he's American need to dip their faces in sulfuric acid.

    1- Hatton's inactivity/retirement/plans to fight at 147 are all severe detriments to hiis standing in the JWW division. By the time Hatton does return (let's say early May to Late June), Campbell will have taken on Kendall Holt, Nate Campbell, A Peterson brother (I can't remember which one because the ****ers are like the Wayans Brothers) and Marcos Maidana. He's more active and thus he's earned the title as top JWW.

    2- Recent wins. Hatton has faced better competition overall but is 3-2 in his last 5 fights. Bradley is 4-0-1 in his last 5 fights against reasonably good competition. Hatton has a shot Jose Luis Castillo, Juan Lazcano and Paulie Malignaggi with losses to Floyd and Pac.

    3- Progression. Hatton is regressing and likely to fall out of the top spot, Bradley is on his way up the ranks and will likely take the spot eventually. Some of us are just getting a jump on things.

    Those are just the three main reasons off the top of my head.

    Edit: Bradley vs Campbell was changed to a no contest.

    One of Hattons losses was at WW a division Bradley hasnt fought at and a division which shouldnt alter the ratings of the division below. Hattons only loss at LWW was against Pacquiao (a devastating loss) who is in a higher league than Bradley has fought at, and on current form Bradley was floored twice by Holt to win close, only won by split dec over Witter (I thought Bradley was a close but clear winner), Had a No Dec against Campbell not a win, and beat undefeated but untested Peterson. I dont see this as better form than KO over Malignaggi who had never been stopped and who relinquished his title to make the fight happen, a KO over Castillo, a win over undefeated Urango who is IBF champ again, and a wide UD over Lazcano

    Since 2007, Timothy Bradley has fought 9 times with 8 wins and 1 NC (No Contest). Ricky Hatton fought 6 times with 4 wins and 2 losses, one of the losses was at welterweight. Last year alone Hatton fought only once and lossed, while Bradley fought 3 times and won two of them and getting a NC on the other one.
