    I'd give it to Hatton. I scored Bradley losing his last three fights. 9-3 against Pacquiao, down 1 point against Provo, and 6 rounds for Marquez, 4 for Bradley with 2 even. Hatton wasn't a world beater, but he would swarm Bradley and put him out. Bradley doesn't have the fire power to keep Hatton off him like Pacquiao, and while good defensively is no Mayweather.

    IF PROVO COULD FORCE BRADLEY INTO A FIREFIGHT THEN YOU CAN BET YOUR BOTTOM DOLLAR THAT HATTON COULD!

    This is an interesting bout.

    I consider both of equal talent. The Hatton that had all of that energy against Tszyu was beautiful even if very dirty. In my mind to beat Hatton, if you at his talent level, you have to be fast on foot and hand and stay on the move but, most importantly tough mentally.

    I think Bradley is just a tough as Hatton and hits about the same. I think the fight goes to trench warfare because Bradley is not skilled enough to outbox a slower brawler for 12 rounds. Hatton will be determined to get inside and rough Bradly up. Hatton will find out the Bradley just as strong and just as determined on the inside, however not nearly as good an infighter as Hatton.

    I say it comes down to the last round. I would give it to Bradley. I think he will do enough hold his own in the paint but, also enough outside to sway the judges.

    i think this would be a barn burner of a fight and a pickem fight at either weight. who else agrees? i know bradley did better against pacquiao, but against one another it would be quite a match. who would win? great coments guys,we would all love to here more opinions,this is awesome.

    This bout would be equal parts fun, interesting, and ugly. Kind of like dating in high school.

    Not sure who I'd favor at this point, but it wouldn't take long for it to devolve into a war fit as fit for the back alleys as the squared circle. I consider them pretty equal talents. Not really any glaring physical advantages one way or the other (Hatton hits harder, but Bradley's will to survive and recovery is something near superhuman). Hatton's got the single best win, but I like Tim's overall resume better.

    Ah, what the heck- give me Bradley SD12. Who knows how the rematch turns out. Fun matchup.
