    I have to go with Davey Boy Green over Ricky Hatton. Both can bang with their dukes and are very relentless fighters. who like to apply pressure. Davey took out former champ John H. Stracey in the tenth round of their match. He was blow for blow with WBC World Welterwight Champion Carlos Palomino, in their 1977 title bout, even cut Carlos, before catching Palomino's left hook to the jaw that sent him down and out in round 11. Hatton tried that tactic against WBC World Welterweight Champion Floyd Mayweather on Dec 8 2007, before being stopped by Floyd in round 10. I see both Green and Hatton going at each other without either of them backing up. I think Green takes this bout by majority decision, it is so close that it could go either way.

    Gotta agree with this. These two are getting in there to grind and I see Davy's engine outlasting Hatton's for a close decision.
