    Ok so Hatton is no boxer. He is a brawler who wrestles at times more than he punches. This is not gonna stand since refs wont allow this because its boring to the fans and they have to break it up. However there is a sport that clinching is not a sin and you dont even need to know how to throw a good punch to be succesful in.
    Why not go into the UFC?
    He can clinch wrestle and even go to the ground if he wants. I just dont think he is right for boxing. I like fights where you cant even remember if there was a clinch or not. Not a slow dance session.

    And please dont make us watch a PBF-Hatton fight again. There is no need for another one. Hatton should either fight Witter Paulie or maybe Torres. If its not one of them just go into the UFC since i know not many will miss you in the boxing scene!!

    No, Hatton is a good boxer and brawler aand is the best 140 pound fighter in the world IMO.

    The Mayweather loss is not his fault. He was in a level he did not belong in.
    I just cant stand his fighting. Too much clinching. I guess his style is not for me and the 140 lb division is not so great so the obvious thing to do is go to 147 which we all know he cant hang in.
    I seriously believe he is fit for the UFC more.

    Oh please. This is coming from the guy who thinks Mayweather would handle Cotto the same way he handled Gatti.
    :rofl

    No, but you made an equally bad thread. In the future, if you are going to claim something like that, back it up w/ consistancy in your examples.

    Why because he can't do MMA and that is what you need to be successful in ufc. Hatton at 140 is different to the one at 147, I should know i seen most of his fights at 140.

    And if PBF goes on to beat Cotto one-sidedly then my analysis will make sense.

    Well because he is boxing material and he can hang at the top.

    Hatton can hang at the top maybe if he cleans out the 140 division which is **** right now. And i really doubt he could do this.
    I just cant stand to watch Hatton wrestle around in the ring and be considered a great fighter in boxing!
    Besides his style would be more entertaining in the UFC i think. Where the rules actually allow you to clinch and wrestle as long as you want.

    The 140 lb Division is actualy pretty good IMO. You got fighters like Malignaggi, Witter, and Torres as Champions.

    Im not saying Cotto will beat whoop on PBF. To me its a 50-50 fight. Maybe 51-49 going Mayweathers way. all the guys Mayweather has faced and decisioned Cotto has gone on to completely dominate and knock out.
    If this fight does happen, trust me, it will not be one sided.
