    Sweeps? Bradley never swept any fighter near Hatton`s level, would be his best win aside from beating Manny.

    Do anyone actually count the Manny fight as a win? I know it’s on his record as a win but we all know it wasn’t.

    Bradley for sure.

    Hattons best win is against a faded Kosta

    Probably Bradley. But The Tszyu win is better than any of Bradley's as far as I'm concerned.

    And look what collazo did to Hatton, he arguably lost most rounds after the early knockdown

    Beating tszyu in his retirement fight after a fouls riddled fight isn or better than all Bradley's wins. Tszyu was finished

    Nothing sophisticated about hattons pressure, he was a good fighter but on British shores he got away with lots of fouls

    I've gone for Hatton, but (and its a big BUT) I may be biased???
    I'm a man City fan
    Born in manchester
    Bluemoon is my anthem
    Ricky trained at my local boxing gym in his mid teens
    I'm of the obviously biased opinion that with a fair ref he'd of done much better versus floyd, but honestly know he'd couldn't beat him.
    Really can't take to his son who is not a chip off the old block.

    For the record, I actually liked Hatton more as a fighter, especially when Floyd bounced his head off of the turnbuckle lol, that was great stuff.

    You are not sure of what? Hatton is not a big name in the US. Certainly not bigger than Bradley.

    I suppose Bradley edges him in terms of career.

    Bradley ahead legacy wise.
    Hatton beats him head to head.

    Imo.

    Bradley had the better career than Hatton no doubt about it. I also think he would have beaten Hatton pretty decisively as well.
