That guy just got knocked down by the best lefthook that you can throw and the guy got up and his eyes weren,t rolling around in his head...this guy just mauled holt for 11 rds. After the k.d. And still beat on holt after the 2nd k.d. ...put him in there with hatton and hatton gets whooped for 6 or 7 rds ...who else takes bradley in a hatton bradley fight???
and that,s why you will never see hatton in the ring with holt or bradley ...i think after the pacquaio vs hatton fight i beleive hatton will retire after the beating he receives in his upcoming fight...
Co-sign, he'll NEED to retire
i hate the american attitude "we have to be the best at everything".....at the moment hatton gives bradley a crash course in inside fighting 101....tim bradely is taylor made for ricky hatton imo
I myself concur with what you said regarding the crash course 101 and i'm american
as i respect urs, u seem very sound in some of ur points...some people on here are just haters about hatton...
i think pac should come in as the fav. no doubt....and i personally see pacquiao's attitude and style more suited to hatton...because pac has the attitude of a heavyweight brawler...which i think hatton will bring out in pac....and if that happens it plays into ricky's favor....but pacquaio can wear hatton down with speed...we will see, thats why i see bradley at the moment in his carear taking a beatdown from hatton and pacquiao....imo
i agree on bradley, he's too green right now. he definitely has lots of potential but as of right now it's exactly that, potential.
i'd continue on hatton but i'm currently jamming to "notorious thugs" and am ready to hit the sack - i cant bother to keep discussing the mancunian assasin at the moment.
i'll keep an eye out for you, i dont believe i've had any discussions with you.
i respect your opinion.
in all honesty, i think manny is going to eat him up with no problems whatsoever. it's going to be an extremely brutal and bloody affair.
not sure how you feel about pac-hatton.

i agree with some of your ratings of him as a boxer...except for the footwork....i think its a myth he holds all the time...watch most of his fights the opponents seem to be holding on to him....i think the kosta tzyu fight was more of a brawl instead of boxing....and hatton has sound fundementals when he was younger he used combos on people and had good movement....floyd, sr. is helping bring this back out in him...not teaching him new stuff which somethink....and i've heard experts emmanuel steward and lennox lewis along with others say he has a world calls jab ,when he does use it...hatton i think has underrated boxing skills, because his attitude is to pressure all the time...but i dont think he is as dirty as people say he is....but i dont disagree with all of your points

he's grossly overrated, that shit makes me sick
is he a good boxer? sure.
is he great? hell to the no
footwork - subpar (i'm being nice and not trying to sound like a complete dick)
handspeed - above average
punching power - above average
punching technique, boxing fundamentals - extremely sub par
not to mention, his entire "game plan" is based around him ILLEGALLY hitting and holding his opponent. that shit is not only horrible to watch, it's NOT LEGAL. I repeat, NOT LEGAL. if you were to ask me, one on one, what i think of hatton? i think he's shit, straight up. the dude's wack and is STILL riding off his win over a faded grandpa tszyu.

i think its very plausible manny could win...but i dont get why some think hatton is a bum....hes not in most people's top 10 p4p list for nothing....and he being the champ of the 140 division for 4 years does not happen by accident

manny's going to retire hatton with or without his consent.

for the record i am american....i just think the attitude of we have this biggest cock in the world needs to stop...its 2009 for christ sakes....borders dont matter anymore......and boxing brings all people of different walks of life together
ok, please disregard the first line of my original post but read the other 2.
mate, you sound like a jealous, bitter old man.
by the way... it's "tailor" not "taylor", wee lad.
thank you, please come again.

Hatton is not as big as Holt, he doesn't punch as hard and he doesn't have his boxing ability. I can't see how anyone would compare the two. If Holt landed on Hatton the way he did Bradley, then he would have stopped him in that first round.
THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
people dont seem to realize that except for the few of us who are realistic

You have to be delusional to not see how Holt is one of the hardest punchers in the sport especially with that left hook. He dropped Torres in their first fight, knocked Torres out in the rematch( with one punch) and he also stopped David Diaz. Anyone who see his rematch with Torres will know that he has serious power.
i agree i think holt could have beat bradley if he would have pushed the attack more

What Bradley did against Holt tells us nothing about how he would fair against Hatton...... Hatton would have a power edge, and wouldnt be gun shy like Holt was. Hatton's tactics would also disrupt Bradley's rythm. Hatton would likely invite the type of fight Bradley put forth against Holt.
Bradley is younger though, and has the faster hands. He also does have a jab he likes to use, and jabs do well against Hatton.
At this point I would still pick Ricky to gut this one out.
tactics as in illegal rough housing tactics ala hitting and holding? yeah, i know that.
hatton sucks ass or arse for my brothers across the pond.

i think bradley could match hatton's strength and speed.
its a close fight imho.
