    I agree that Hatton needs to step up, but i wouldnt consider his opponents domestic level! More like fringe contenders.

    Hattons fought at
    Madison Square Garden, New York, NY, USA
    East Hall Convention Center, Atlantic City, NJ, USA
    Fox Theater, Detroit, MI, USA
    Arena Oberhausen, Oberhausen, Germany

    I dont thinks Hatton scared of fighting abroad but any fighter wants home advantage and moneys better for him in the UK.

    The only time i want Hatton to fight in the US is for a big money fight against Tszyu, Gatti or Cotto(unless cotto is still willing to come to the UK)

      Hatton needs to do better than Mike Stewart. ESPECIALLY when its Mike Stewart coming off the heels of Vilches and Peterson.

        Nah, Mike Stewart was for mandatory and Hatton made Mitchells job on Stewart look really bad, that was the boost he needed after the flat Vilches performance.

        If it wasnt for those two things i'd be pissed he was fighting him. It was obvious Hatton would do number on Stewart.

        Hatton's supposed to be fighting another Stewart type fighter to keep him in shape while he waits for the Tszyu vs Mitchell winner shot.

        They should use Witter as a warm up, i dont think he'd stand a chance against Hatton and they fans would like to see it.

          If Hatton would just fight somebody of quality already everyone wouldn't doubt him. The kid is a talented fighter....but it almost seems as if he and his management thinks the boxing world owes him something. Take a little less money and come to the US and beat a top notch fighter in the states and then you write your own meal ticket Ricky! I'm a huge Gatti fan and do believe he has improved his boxing skills over the past few years.......this one is too close for me to call. Honestly, I haven't seen enough of Hatton to make a fair assessment. I would like to see this fight happen though.

            Hatton Vs Gatti is a great fight because they have simular styles but please don`t say Gatti will win. Hatton would walk through him. He may last to like the 8th round but hatton remember is a big light welter while Gatti is average size at this weight. Both are bleeders and a cuts stoppage for either one could be on the cards but when it is all said and done i believe that Gatti would not be able to withstand the all out style and he would ultimately be stopped.
            Reasoning??? Apart from a flash knockdown against Emen Magee, who has won a ROUND against Hatton? I can`t think of anyone off hand.
            Hatton is a throw back fighter and i think the only man who i would give a chance against him would be Sharmba Mittchell because of his style, but i would still take hatton for that one.

              This is enough to rate Hatton on, but you wanna watch Hatton vs Stewart to see how baldy he beat him, it was a brutal beating against a man Micthell couldnt stop.

                    Agreed, Witter could be very tricky if he fights the right type of figght against Hatton

                      Thanks, no doubt the kid has some skills. Looks like he punches very hard and brings the action. I wasn't able to watch all the clips cause I'm at work, but I do see one trend in all the clips I saw. His opponents are always backing, up almost in fear. Reminds me of Tysons opponents back in the day. Very few fighters can win a fight backing up the whole time. Gatti wouldn't be on his heels. I also see that he keeps his hands fairly low at times. Bottom line is the kid needs to come to the states and fight a top notch fighter.....if he wins that then the American public will love him.....he's a brawler....it would be the best move he ever made.
