Is Hatton prime anymore?

Thats another good question !?
We will find out in november !

[mojack]

Is Hatton prime anymore?

No way, he was prime pre-Kostya

[.Mik.]

The Real Deal?

Would beat Hatton?

Will unify the 140lbs division?

This not a case of some of you Yanks over-hyping your fighters again?

He looked decent last night, but against nobody really. Good defense, strong all-round game, dont know where you saw the power, cos he never seemed to me to have Cherry particularly hurt, even with the knockdown.

He looks a good prospect with solid fundamentals, but lets not start pushing to guy too far. He's going to have tougher title defenses than that he'll need to take care of before looking anywhere near the P4P list.

It was only after that fight he became Mr Hug'n'Hold and walked into punches.
I think he he thought he can still win fights without moving his head.

Maybe hes Incorporated that more nowa days cause he knows how much stronger he is over his opponent !?

hey im an American and im saying give the kid some more time before we anoint him anything.

like making this topic after a victory over Edner Cherry? I mean it's good for Bradley that he got the win and all, but I'll reserve final judgment when he steps up in class vs the Elite of the division or another belt holder even.

yes I've seen him fight before and I'd like him to up his competition next fight or two. maybe Bradley vs Lamont Peterson by Middle of 09?

Why would he fight an up and comer in Peterson when he already beat the WBC Champ WITTER.
He needs to fight Holt then not some up and comer.

even with the W over Witter it's not like Bradley's a household name yet.
then again 140 as a division isn't exactly star studded.

yeah prob unlikely that Peterson would get the fight, or want it even.

would like to see Holt/Bradley as Super Lightweight needs some unifications/big fights to get some shine back on the division.

Have no fear lads, with a bit of luck Mayweather may revert Hatton back to his old style...*fingers crossed.*

Hatton always ****s on about people saying he fights better when he's moving in out on the jab, but never does ! lol. Maybe thsi time.
