This would most likely be one hell of an ugly fight.
BUT the remedy for a tall and long armed fighter is to neutralize the arm length by getting inside and thats what Hatton does that well.
Who wins it?
If someone asked me what one of the worst matchups would be in boxing, Id say Williams vs Hatton it would be such an odd pairing because as you said they are complete opposites Hatton would have all the disadvantages. Then I started to think maybe Hattons small size and quickness may work in his favor. Thats why I was wondering what everyone else thought. But I really dont think Hatton should fight at 147 again.
I would never put Hatton in at 147 against Pure boxers or Southpaws, Baldomir at 147 Yes..Gatti at 147..Yes,Berto at 147 yes/Maybe but southpaw NO way.
Nobody is suggesting a fighter with long arms cant lose but when you pit Williams and Hatton together you're talking about too many major disadvantages for Hatton, Anyone as small as Hatton has a very very slim chance including the short Berto.
We all know how hatton did in 2 fights at 147, So when we have a fighter who has even more advantages to add to that like williams theni would repeat it NO CHANCE.

Yep...He got an hometown decision because he is the House fighter NOT collazo....Imagine if the fight was in Manchester and Collazo was the challenger like Hatton was, You lot would have been screaming blue moon murder if they give Collazo the decision.
No. If I thought Collazo won I would say so.
So...no fighter with long arms can lose? You have totally missed my point and any logical boxing discussion appears to be out of the question.
If a fighter can get in close and work long arms dont matter. Theres really no need to go on a crazed rampage about "how dare someone suggest Williams fight Hatton" how about Williams vs Berto or Witter? maybe those would be allowed.That's true, but the reason I picked Williams to beat Ricky is, even though Williams has long arms, he is still very good on the inside, I don't think he would let Ricky capitalize like you say he would. Also, just the plain fact that he is naturally much bigger than Ricky, and obviously Ricky had a lot of disadvantages in WW as it was shown with Collazo and PBF.
