    Bradley is good but Hatton would have been too rough and powerful and in his prime Tims lack of punch power would have made him easy work for hatton.

    bradleys power is deceptive hes not trigger happy when he gets a guy hurt he'd have finished many of his opponents if he wanted to but he's content with not taking too many risks

    I'm a big Bradley fan but his finishing skills are appalling for such a well rounded fighter. He trips over himself and loops wild shots and gets over excited when he has his man hurt. It's my only issue with him at this point in his career. He tried to take Peterson out in round 3 i think and fell forwards whilst throwing shots.

    i agree he's not the finisher, but all this **** about ppl calling him featherfisted really is a joke, he's had all his previous 5 opponents hurt or badly shaken many of them were durable what i'm trying to come at, is he has the ability to badly buzz some1 like hatton and possibly hurt him, hatton wouldnt walk through him like so many say.

    who did ricky hatton beat at 140? i'd say hatton had the better resume of fighters, but to me its clear as day who the more well rounded better skilled fighter is. iv watched all of hattons fights and he was a machine. i think hatton on his night would beat every1 in the current 140 division bar Bradley, But saying that i feel hatton is a tad overrated he fought allot of journeyman early in his career, he used to neglect the jab and rush in head first he was ripe for a counter puncher, i'm no blind idiot i'm not picking bradley over blind delusion

    Hatton only won the WBU and defended it against a few Africans and cab drivers.

    collazo isnt such a heavy hitter and ricky in the 12th was out on his feet, rickys chin wasnt exactly granite, the reason why his chin withstood so much of what zoo threw is tyszu timing was off and he could not get full extension on his shots, Hatton only has a 30% chance against a Peak Kostay Tyszu and thats only due to styles

    Yup, Ricky would struggle with the slick skilled fighters in the 140 division at the moment. Ricky could make it an awkward night and could even beat Bradley, but Bradley would be favourite. Ricky fought in a weak 140 era and didn't even fight his two biggest threats. So to say he beats the best from this talent filled 140 division is very misguided.
