How many of today's top 5 (Boxrec) Junior Welterweights do you think a prime Ricky Hatton would defeat?
Multiple Choice Poll..
1. Timothy Bradley
2. Amir Khan
3. Devon Alexander
4. Marcos Maidana
5. Victor Ortiz
I'm not sure about Alexander. From what iv'e seen I believe he could possibly have beaten him. He has a similar style to Mayweather, Alexander is a boxer-puncher who is fast and can knock you out with one shot.
Aside from him I think he beats the rest...
Khan = Doesnt have the chin
Bradley = Too small/Not enough power
Ortiz = Doesnt have the mental strength
Maidana - One dimensional
I think Hatton beats all of them except Alexander
Bradley and Alexander are good fighters and would produce good fights with Hatton though, Maidana fight could be foty potential but Ricky was stronger and had better chin.
Bradley and Alexander would almost certainly beat him. Khan is a bit of a toss-up, depends on how effectively Khan can box and keep him off. I'd pick him over Ortiz and Maidana for sure.
All of them, Hatton in his prime was a menance, Khan, Alexander and Bradley all better boxers but unable to keep Ricky off.
In his prime Hatton had a hell of a chin too.
Bradley and Alexander would've given him trouble in his prime as well, Alexander maybe moreso than Bradley because of his range. Those fights might have ended in close decisions for either guy.
Hatton beats the other 3.
Tough one. I think he'd be favourite against all of them. No chance maidana beats him, and I think alexander would struggle as well.
Bradley I'm still not decided on, and khan would outbox him (and all of them on the list), but we know if he gets caught he is in all sort of trouble.
Not sure what ortiz has done to be in the top 5, even though I like seeing him in fights.

honestly.....he beats all in their current form.........they would wilt to his pressure and footspeed........Maybe Alexander or Bradley has a chance........Khan would get KO'd as would Maidana......not sure about Ortiz.
If Khan had a chin he'd wipe the floor with Hatton and any other 140lbs fighter.. But he doesn't so it's hard to call, either Khan by UD or Hatton by KO. I think Hatton would beat Alexander in a close fight and Bradley in a close fight too.
Hatton KO's Maidana and Ortiz
