    I just started back watching his fights and Im surprised that in my observation Ricky Hatton would beat most if not all the current Junior-welterweights and everyone knows this is a deep division

    Maidana-beats Maidana, too much speed, he doesnt like it to the body and Hatton would also outbox him U12 or late stoppage by accumulation of body shots

    Amir Khan-if he thought peterson was tenacious imagine Hatton all over him winging left hooks and his footspeed would have Khan on the ropes alot more than Peterson who struggled in the middle of the ring. Hatton U12

    Lamont Peterson-gets outworked and worn down in a barnburner

    Timothy Bradley- this is a toss would have been a great matchup, its 50/50 i'd favor Bradley because of his superior boxing skills and toughness but it will be a close fight and Hatton wont respect his power. SD Bradey

    Kotelnik-he works him over in dominant fashion

    Tim works him over

    Zab stops him early

    He beats them all in my opinion.

    The only one close would be bradley , but the man cannot crack an egg with those punches and would just get steam rolled.

    Hattons easiest match up from the above would be Khan. As soon as Khan was on the ropes it would be over.

    he completely dominated the guy that beat Khan. his resume speaks for itself.

    Bradley is great fighter

    forgot Judah.....the Judah of today would lose to Hatton because he isnt prepared for a long tough fight....Had this happened say 2005 i'd favor Judah because he had a shot of sparking Hatton with that left early and Hatton could be hit with straight shots but if he made it through the early assault, it Judah's face would like he was in a meet grinder

    I was never high on Witter...I dont think he would be able to deal with all that pressure

    U have to understand that if he fought zab his come forward style and zab being south paw Ricky was open to the straight left hand and uppercut more so then cotto

    Tszyu's right hand was more than anything Witter had and he walked right through those.

    Also Tszyu was hardly shot , infact probably just a level below Mayweather in fitness , but on a JMM / Calzaghe 35 year old level. Shamba Mitchell would tell you that...

    true its a toss up for me prime for prime, IMO the only guy he should have faced at 140 that he didnt...he'd have did damage to Gatti if they fought too
