    Hatton in his prime would bust Bradley up... Hatton pre Collazo was a whirlwind

    If that was true then he would have had more losses than he has..If he was a worse boxer than the people he was fighting then surely they would've beaten him? The only two defeats he had were against the two top p4p fighters in the world..


    I'd have Hatton by TKO

    Hatton, notwithstanding some of the commentary on here, was a very good fighter in his day. Was he a P4Per or an HOFer? No, as his bouts with Pac and PBF demonstrated.

    Nevertheless, he was better than Tim Bradley.

    Nah, Hatton was a B level fighter who faltered trying to step up against A level fighters. He could have had a longer career with a better lifestyle and delaying those Floyd/Pac beatings, but I guess that just wasn't his MO.

    The Hatton that beat Tzyu would beat Bradley something like 9 rounds to 3.

    Hatton was a world class fighter and the best in his division at the time, he just didnt reach that all time great level of the modern day likes: Pac, Floyd, Hopkins, RJJ etc
