hatton still beats witter and bradley

Oh yeah, i'd go with bradley by decision, but if hatton has any power left in those hooks, he's a got a good chance, Bradley is open to all sorts and for all the hype about him, got an SD against witter and a razor thin decision against kendall holt who threw the fight away with some of the dumbest tactics this year. Yeh i'll be honest i was'nt impressed with his win over Witter it was more of a case of what Witter didnt do that lost him that fight.Still props to Brad though not knocking him but his far from unbeatable...

I dunno..I'd have to say Bradley would outhustle him but who knows hard to say where ricky is at or if any damage still remains from the pac ko Oh yeah, i'd go with bradley by decision, but if hatton has any power left in those hooks, he's a got a good chance, Bradley is open to all sorts and for all the hype about him, got an SD against witter and a razor thin decision against kendall holt who threw the fight away with some of the dumbest tactics this year.

Ironically I just got of the phone to my best mate and i said hatton had a good chance at a W against Bradley, anyhow bradley can hurt him badly, you know he has no business being in a boxing ring again.

this would defiantly be a malignaggi type scenario. hatton got beat off pbf and paq. hes not there level admittedly. but he'd still dispose of most the guys lurkin the 140 ranks no doubt. he got beat yeh, but he got beat off the best as a hatton fan im thinking whats the point!? the man cant take the beatings anymore. his punch resistance is not what it used to be. his weight gains out of training has caught up with him and hes ultimatly not the same anymore.

You never know what will happen till they fight, I still want to see Witter vs Hatton before they retire.

Bradley would decision Hatton clearly.

I always thought Witter had Hatton's number, I still think he does. Ricky stops Bradley though...Tim just doesn't have the power to hurt ricky.

I agree Ricky still beats both, but nowhere near as easy as he could have done in the past. I think the training had ALOT to do with Hatton's punch resistance in the Pacquiao fight. He didn't look as muscular as we have seen him, he actually did look pretty drained at the weigh-in and I'm not sure there was much emphasis on leg work which plays a big part in punch resistance. With a better training camp focusing more on strength work i.e. playing to Ricky's best asset rather than focusing on things he will never be good at, and a big focus on defence, namely keeping his gloves up and using head movement, then Ricky should beat these two guys.

I don't see him beatin either now. Dude ain't gonna have the confidence to beat a top ranked fighter now. Hatton needs to walk.

You're on drugs Osama. Were did Paulie hurt Hatton? Fukk off back to BF so Ulster can school your ass some more. God damn it are you on that guys nuts again? How many times is that in one week? That's stalkerish. Are you his puppet or what? :spank:

Punch resistances as in not being able to hold a shot as well as you were once able to. Many things can cause punch resitance to go. Abusing your body (Hattons a prime candidate) taking to many shots (Hattons a prime candidate again) or simply age. Many things atribute to it. In other words, conditioning. Conditioning is the only reason why a fighter would lose punch resistance. The brain does not get shook more because of age. Cerebrospinal Fluid does not decrease to cause more concussive outcome. Unless their was permanent damage to the brain that would cause the brain to move and collide with the skull more when hit than resistance should still be the same. Hatton was in great shape for the Pac fight and no permanent injuries to the head that would cause him to lose punch resistance.

A lightweight out of retirement in Luzcano hurt him badly. Feather fists Paulie Malignaggi shook him in the first round (the only one he fought worth a damn). Manny Pacquiao KOed him with ease, something Pac had not been able to do with SMALLER fighters of a supposedly lesser calibur. He eat too many straight right hands in the Mayweather fight. He never recovered, and the end result is the chinny version of Hatton we have today. Paulie shook Cotto as well at 140 as well as others. Conditioning plays a part in punch resistance and Hatton's conditioning for Lazcano was crap. Explain why other fighters who took more damage than ricky maintain their beards. Fighters like Ali, Fraizer, Corrales, Shane Mosely, etc. They seem to still be able to hold their own in the chin department. A fighter doesn't lose their ability to take a shot, just to see it coming. If that was the case Hatton must really have some brain damage by now.

Hatton easily disposes of Witter IMO while the Bradley fight could either way. Bradley doesnt have the greatest power and his a shaky/average chin so if Hatton came in motivated i could see it being a very even fight. i'd probably favor Bradley by decision though i would like to see this fight!

I don't even wanna think about Hatton vs Bradley.... The way those two like to fight, it would look like gay porn. Witter v Hatton would be fun, because at this point it might be the only fight Ricky could get inspired for. Kind of like Oscar vs Vargas.

What is all this about "punch resistance". I've heard of fighters not being able to pull the trigger, fighter losing speed, losing stamina, slower reflexes etc. but punch resistance? I've seen fighters take a lot more punishment than Ricky has and still have solid chins throughout their career losing a step or two before they lose "punch resistance". Look at Ali, Fraizer, Leonard, Hearns. They fought long into their careers without losing "punch resistance". They lost a step, their reflexes slowed but "punch resistance". Common now. He lost punch resistance because God forbid its Manny Pacquiao that knocked him out. Manny Pacquiao has no power blah blah blah, he has no skills blah blah blah. Oscar was shot, Morales was shot, Barrera was shot. Boxing scene will never give credit to Manny Pacquiao too many anti pac boxing enthusiasts here. I was watching Manny since 2001 vs. Ledwaba and by no means his road to the top was easy. Its funny they say Manny Pacquiao was fighting old and shot fighters when those fighters were the ones calling him out. So with Manny knocking out his recent opponent, obviously to boxing experts eyes, Hatton was/is a bum at 140lbs.

Hatton would beat Witter. I don't know about bradley though. Funny thing is before the Pacuiao fight I was telling everyone Bradley would probably beat hatton, and you guys were claiming Hatton would steam roll him.

witter yeah ..bradly would be tought ..hattons punch resistance is terrible now ..usta be amaizng..just terrible now
