I agree. He impressed me also. As you say though, to pick him over Ricky I think we need to see a bit more. With Hatton almost certainly not as good as he was then fighters like Bradley are dangerous.im not trying to jump the gun and im not saying Bradley would beat Hatton cause i have not seen enough of Bradley yet but wether Witter is a C Class fighter or not he is hard to look good against and Bradley showed he could adjust to Witter akwards style and look good doing it
How do you think Ricky will do against Malignaggi? I think he might very well lose. Malignaggi was probably poorer against N'Dou than Hatton was against
Lazcano, but there is no doubt he has an excellent chin, is much faster than Ricky and has pretty good stamina. I think if Malignaggi could perform to anything even close to the level he did against Cotto then he will beat Hatton by decision, since Hatton can be very easy to hit and Paulie much less so.Comment

i think Bradley made Witter look so bad cause Bradely would not close range and give Witter counter punching opurtunitys ,i thought his technique was better aswell Witter has a tendency to throw wide punchers with his chin in the air where as Bradley was throwing straighter punchers down the middle ,he was also alot quicker than Witter IMO
another thing i noticed is Bradely never got impatient he did'nt start forcing the issue when there were lulls in the fight he stuck to his game plan did not reach with his punches kept his weight central when unloading & he threw a nice feints to land his right hand,im not trying to make Bradley sound like a World Beater its just i thought he boxed a very sensible disciplined fight
i always think u have to show patience with akward fighters & counter punchers ,i thought Joe Calzaghe started to have more success against Hopkins when he started being more patient not closing the range so fast and tyring to unload
Wow you really do know how to Break down fights..Kudos mate, I totally agree Bradley didnt get desperate for a green fighter who has never been out of california, He was very patient,focus and stuck to his gameplan.
Having said that i would like to see more of him before i can pick him to beat Hatton, One thing for sure though the hatton that fought Luzcano would have had a hard time with the Bradley that fought Witter.Comment

im not sure about Malignaggi my instincts are that he would get overwhelmed by Hatton's strength on the inside i have a feeling he would get manhandled a bit and maybe get stopped on a Body shot
then again if Paulie could keep Hatton turning all night long with angles and gets in and out then i could see him winning but that could sap a lot of his energy ,especially if Hatton is able to put some body work in to slow him down later on ,one of my biggest criticisms of Malignaggi is he fights in rythm so he can be timed he circles to his left waay to much leaving him open for overhand rights & because he holds his left so low more often than not he is caught with that same shot
