holy ****! hatton is winning this poll!? remind me again what hatton does better than bradley..
all his greatest assets, stamina, strenght, heart.. bradleys got in spades, he can match if not surpass hatton in those areas.
on top of that bradley is much faster, much smarter, much more well rounded and much more skilled in every aspect of the game. he aint got them gigantic holes in his game neither. bradley would outclass hatton even in his prime, there seems to be no boundries to how overrated that guy gets. several current 140lbers would beat him tbh.
Bradley was not much faster than a prime Hatton I don't know how you come to that conclusion, Bradley is smarter but he has to rely on his ring smarts to win fights Hatton was never that kind of fighter he came at you and kept coming if you cant hurt him (which Bradley would not have been able to do).
Hatton has good foot speed as well he was in Floyds face all night this fight would take place almost exclusivly on the inside, Hatton hit harder he could spoil on the inside he could smother Bradley and wear him down he also had a higher workrate and never gave his opponents chance to breath.
Several current 140lb fighters could beat Hatton? I sincerely doubt that.
Im surprised this poll is so close Hatton takes it all day.

Who did he beat as good as Bradley?
On paper, Kostya Tszyu, but the reality was Tszyu had been inactive because of injury and several years past prime. Certainly no longer nearly as good as his #2 p4p ranking would suggest.
I give Bradley the edge in this one BTW.
KT prime would have KO'd Hatton, but Hatton got injury worn old KT and barely got him out of their.
WOW! You are so ignorant it is sad. A list of better 140 pounders off the top of my head Pryor(probably the best ever), DLH, Trinidad, Chavez, Whitaker, Duran, PBF(not that he has a resume there), Benitez, Cervantes, KT.
Hatton doesn't touch top 10. Just saying you look pretty rough when you are so ignorant that you would dub Hatton anything more then he was.
Bradley actually has a harder style for Hatton then vice versa. Bradley is a smarter fighter with just as good if not better footwork. Bradley is just more skilled, I am not saying Bradley would win, but if you think that Bradley would lose easily you are sorely mistaken. Bradley is one of the few fighters I can think of that has won undoubtedly every single fight he has fought as a linear pro champ. Even PBF has Castillo 1. Bradley doesn't just win he dominates fighters. Bradley has no questionable wins, that is what makes him. HE WON EVERY FIGHT.
wtf r u saying ?
kt landed some brutal shots on hatton and didnt ko him so id have to disagree could he have won ? yes.! but guess what he didnt and thats that wether u say he was shot and worn or not he lost
when did i say he would easily win ? i have bradley pac a 50 50 fight he would be tough for any fighter ever
and in YOUR OPINION THOSE FIGHTERS ARE BETTER 140LBER
everyones entitled to an opinion my man
calm down
the poll has spoken
hatton wins
good fight bradleys style is bad for hatton but he doesnt have the power to keep a prime hatton off him so hatton smothers him with body wrk and wins a dec in an ugly foul filled fight
prime hatton was one of if not the best 140lber ive ever seen
KT prime would have KO'd Hatton, but Hatton got injury worn old KT and barely got him out of their.

huh? wait... what?
Ricky cuts and bruises easily, and he is not the sort of calculating fighter that would stop right then if he was up on the cards, even if he knew he was fucked he wouldn't do that.
A guy with a bruised and busted faces see less so he would likely get run after that, so even IF he was winning the fight would fall apart for him.
Get it?
Hatton by decision. People tend to exaggerate Bradley's boxing skills, certainly his defense. Bradley doesn't punch hard enough to keep Hatton from swarming over him. I think it would be an entertaining fight and i can see Bradley winning some rounds, making it a close competitive fight, but at the end of the day i see Hatton taking it
Ricky loses because his face gets mangled, even if by headbutts Hatton is not going to say hay I won 3 of the first 5 fuck it I am giving up going to the cards now because really I am fucked if I go on, he will go until the fight is unrecoverable.

Im aware of the initial duck by Maidana. Doesn't make what I just said wrong, you can duck it just like you ducked my first post but its still true.
Im glad u acknowledged Maidana's fear of Bradley. You been trashing on Bradley for a while and I've been crapping on Khan too. We are gonna see whats what this year. Your boy Khan better beat Bradley's leftovers this time around sir. Bradley gonna shock the world June 9th.
good fight, but whoever think either fighter takes this fight easily, is just pure silly. it would be dirty, ugly and would mose certainly go to the cards.
You need to look at Maidana's wiki too Dirk. Go ahead and check it out, will only take u a second.

No he opted to fight Casamayor instead of Khan....and Maidana.Top Rank shamelessly lowballed Maidana in some pathetic attempt to say they were trying to secure a good opponent for that date when all along they intended to fight old ass Casa.

this one got pretty ugly. I don't think we've seen a PRIME Bradley yet. But I know I've watched a PRIME Hatton, and no matter what... I'd take a PRIME Hatton over any Bradley.
I like Bradley, he's like a mini-Holyfield. And I'll root for him against Pacquiao, But Judging from the clips that were presented... I'd go with Hatton.
DREAM FIGHT!
The thing about Bradley is, like Marquez, he can adapt. Hatton on the other hand is one dimensional... Bradley can fight on the inside, and box on the outside. Bradley is also very slick with good head and foot movement.
Hatton wins on the inside, Bradley wins on the outside. Its an exciting fight, and we'd have to see how smart Bradley approaches the fight... Bradley's ability to adapt is the determining factor: Would his adaptation be enough?? Neva know
That being said, I favor Hatton just becuz he's feet and athleticism r good enough to get him on the inside more than not... And he wins on the inside
