    Bradley's yet to be tested at the very highest level. A win over Witter in front of two dogs and a whippet isn't the very highest level.

    Besides, Hatton's not going to take on a guy who can't generate wind, much less ticket sales in what is probably going to be his last fight. He's earned the right to a bumper pay day. Bradley may never be anyone's bumper pay day.

      If boxing wasn't about the money I'd love to see Hatton clean up the division, beating the winner of Holt/Torres then going on to Bradley.

          The way boxing is made out to be today, no one will ever clean a division, no way. Why? Too many belts and the money of course... Provided fights take years to happen no one will have enough time to do it and even if they have they will either derail to go for a money fight which is perfectly legit (as long as they don't claim ATG status on beating 40 year olds) or the person they were supposed to fight is moving up or down. That's why boxing is such a controversial sport.

              bradley is still hatton's most dangerous opponent at 140, but now w/ floyd sr. i think hatton will beat bradley in a close fight.

                Tough fight to predict.

                I give Hatton the edge though.

                  Correct

                  Bradley moves and and quick.. Hes a SOLID guy, and any solid and consistant fighter against hatton will win..

                  Hatton would NOT be able to wrestle this guy around like others
                  Hatton wont be able to tag him with shots
                  Hatton cannot out box this guy

                  Bradley has speed and good pop, and will probably catch ricky lunging in b/c you know hes going to (ricky)
                  Bradley hasnt really been hurt and can adapt
                  Bradley beat Witter is still is very fast
                  Bradley has good stamina

                  Bradley TKO or Close UD
                  ------
                  Many of you havent really payed attention to this guy b/c he came outta nowhere

                    well bradley has the best shot out of any in the 140 lbs division to beat hatton at least.

                      Bradley is to Hatton...as to Dawson is to Calzaghe...basically... and Bradley can only get better so if I were Hatton I'd try to avoid him at all costs and just chase the big money fights..
