    I was just expecting an agenda. But on the face of it, he would have to be top of the pile, but as some people have said, he has dodged a lot of the top domestic players.
    No timeshare, but i could sit you in a room and talk **** to you for 6 hours

    It was a good win but don't get carried away. Hatton is a long way from world class. I'm not even sure he'd beat Jennings. Brook would walk through him. Is everyone forgetting the Watson fight already?! John O'Donnell is another who would be favoured over him.

    So if Kell Brook was to fight Hatton next, who'd win and why? Would be an interesting poster for that one...'The Battle of the Bellends' maybe

    I think Brook would knock him out inside six. Brook has well above average power in my opinion, more than Hatton can take and he's too quick for him...Hatton has improved but not that much.

    I'd say Hatton - Jennings would be much closer

    I think Hatton would beat Brook at this stage.

    Brook is an accurate puncher but all of his aesthetically pleasing stoppages have come against outgunned or glass chinned fighters (or both) although if he beats Jennings (unlikely IMO) he will justify some of the hype he gets, which leaves me dumbfounded to be honest.

    I'd favour Matthew to outpunch him down the stretch. Hatton is one-route and could well be perfect fodder to Brooks fast sharp shooting, but Hatton isn't stupid, he has shown he can survive, has balls and, having mixed at a much higher level, I'd have to favour him to get the job done in a competitive fight.

    If he sorts his choice of weight out, Craig Watson would beat all 3 aforementioned lads, for my money anyway. He deserved the decision in the O'Donnell fight IMO.

    He probably is the number 1 at the moment. Id like to see Brook fight him if he beats Jennings, hopefully Brook would take care of him.

    On paper yes, but all those on your top ten list would beat him, except Pryce of course.
