    Prime ricky right now beats them all. But all are not yet prime, so can't say prime for prime.

    Its too early to tell for some of them.

    Im not going to say that Hatton beats Bradley. Bradley hasnt shown a real ceiling yet and continues to get better, while their fight would be a brutal and bloody clash, Im not going to say I think Hatton could beat Bradley just yet.


    I think Hatton is too much for Alexander, I think Alexander is a bit too young to handle someone whos going to be coming at him as ferociously and aggressively as Hatton will be.

    Khan.... I favor Hatton, because I think Hatton is actually very good at closing space fast when he was in his prime, and at 140, and so I think it would negate a lot of Khans speed by him getting in close fast and mauling Khan on the inside, and Hattons power, while not devastating, can break you down, fatigue you, and put you on the backfoot. Khan just doesnt have enough polish to go along with that speed for me to pick him over a prime Hatton. This fight would be a lot closer if Khan used the ring better, had better judge of distance, better defence, and if I thought hed be able to just manage the ring better against Hatton, but right now I think Hatton would have some trouble with Khans power and speed, but eventually overwhelm Khan to a UD win.

    Hatton UD Maidana imo....



    One thing is for sure they would all be great fights though. This crop of 140lbers is pretty damn good.

    Khan should be pestering Hatton, and calling him out, insulting him, etc until Ricky comes back for that last money fight, Khan is going to get exposed soon, so he should try and get a huge payday by beating Fatton.

    A prime hatton would easily take all 4 of these guys. Bradley v hatton would be the most interesting choice, ortiz wouldnt with stand the relentless pressure of hatton , alexanders defence wouldnt hold up to hattons constant body attack and Khan would simply be picked apart on the inside as he has no inside game at all.

    And Noam Chomsky- PRIME Hatton is this topics discussion, after the Mayweather loss hattons chin was awful, he was out on his feet against Lascano and was lucky to survive that fight. PRIME hatton had a fantastic chin, he with stood bomb after Bomb from Kostya one of the hardest hitting fighters PFP at the time.

    You are obviously just a pacman or Khan joyboy this forum is for fans of boxing.

    I like Hatton as a person, just think he's hyped up beyond belief, He's the greatest boxer in fantasy matchups, when he's a prime this or that, but in the real world he gets KTFO by any of these guys.

    I don't care for MP or AK, I think Berto is a future ATG in the making, and he will school everyone in due time.

    Hatton has no chin, horrible defense. Alexander by uppercut, Khan by left hook, and Bradley by body shot, Ortiz by Right hook, and Maidana by any way he wants. Berto KOs Hatton during the final press-conference stare-down.

    How many Hatton bouts have you seen? Serious question. Have you seen Hatton Tszyu?

    Yes, but Tszyu was shot by that time, prime Hatton didn't face prime Tszyu. Boy, let me tell you, a prime Tszyu was an animal, a real tiger. Berto would have schooled prime Tszyu, that much is obvious.

    Relative to what, Mr. Genius?

    Last I checked, there's nothing relative about an amount unless you're relating it to something. An amount on its own is just an amount.

    Some people, man.
