    Whitaker would probably win the first one by a contraversial split decision and win the rematch for real.

    It would be contraversial because the one paid judge would have the score card so completely different to the other judges, it would be the most blatant cheating since the The Roy Jones Fiasco at the olympics

    Sweet Pea already schooled a much better and much stronger version of Hatton : Chavez.

    Julio was above Hatton in all aspect, I don't see how Hatton can win this one. Bad bad match up for him.

    Pernell 120-108.

    Let's wait to see what Hatton does in his career. He has the abilities to go on and be summat brilliant. At the moment he's not fulfilling that promise, and as good as I think he was vs Tszyu, Maussa and first eight rounds vs Urango, only one of thos fighters comes close in terms of ability, and secondly he was not great enough even in those fights to give Sweet Pea a real challenge.

    At the moment, I would say comfortable UD for Sweet Pea. If Hatton fulfills that promise - and I believe that he COULD rather than would beat PBF - it might be that this thread would follow a different path rather than the inevitable Hatton has no chance route.

    Jorge Paez and Azumah Nelson gave Sweet Pea tough bouts. Sweet Pea also got gifts at that weight and he also got a gift against Buddy Mc Girt at 147 in the first fight. Remember Rivera 1 was also a gift.

    Nelson never gave Whitaker anywhere near a tough fight. Whitaker won at least 9 or 10 rounds. And the rounds he won, he won clearly. I watched the fight just a few days ago, and Nelson was well and truely out-classed.

    A gift against McGirt in their first fight. A close fight, but to use the words "got a gift" is just plain stupid.

    I do agree with the Rivera 1 fight, that was a close shave for Whitaker.

    This is a whitewash, even a young hungry DLH had his hands full with Whitaker. And Dlh was faster, stronger, had better reach and skills than Hatton.

    And lets not forget, De La Hoya fought a Whitaker past his prime. Whitaker was still a brilliant fighter as a welterweight, but was not as flet-footed and quick as he was in his lightweight days. De La Hoya was more aggressive than Whitaker throughout the fight, but both fighters were pretty cautious.

    I feel Whitaker's jab would score well against Hatton. Whitaker's whole style was perfectly suited for come forward aggressors. Hatton can close the distance quickly and effectively on opponents, but Whitaker could change angles and slide away scoring at the same time. He'd also surprise Hatton inside, as his work to the body with both hands was accurate. Whitaker gave Chavez a lesson inside, which shows he was a complete fighter.
