    Bradley is now currently ranked right behind Hatton.

    It is the best fight at 140 and would be a great fight for Bradley to get some exposure.

    Witter & Bradley need a re-match before Bradley can think about a fight with Hatton.

    Witter was terrible against Bradley (for reasons we now know). Probably the worst I've ever seen him fight & he still only lost on a split decision.

    Witter on top form beats Bradley in my opinion.

        I would think Bradley is definately the number 2 at 140 now but Ricky won't touch him. Bradley is very slick, fast and hard to hit and not a good style match up plus I can't see Hatton taking on anyone under 30 from here on out. I see the next fight for him being DLH/Pac and if that falls through maybe JMM.

          He did but Witter wasn't on top form that night. I would like to see a rematch but I don't think Witter has a big enough following/money behind him to get a rematch. I guess it depends on what other options Bradley has.

            What do you mean Top form, Bradley and Him both prepared for the fight both were focused. One man won. Writters fault for not having a rematch clause

              Some ppl here amaze me would rather see Bradley-Witter rematch before a Hatton fight. I don't see Bradley fighting him again until after he unifies and maybe fights Ricky. I can see Ricky taking this fight but I'm not sure when, he must be real confident now after Malignaggi win about his 140 status and may want to solidify even more.

                In which case Hatton won't fight at 140 (except maybe the Pacman, which is rather different, certainly). He doesn't give a **** about belts; been there, done that.

                Guys, I mean Bradley no disrespect but compared with Hatton he is a nobody. Yet. He may or may not have more skill than Ricky, (just as the same could have been said of Malignaggi. .. cough..) but this is boxing, and profile and marketability matter just as much. It's real big of Bradley to offer to fight Hatton in England (he is hardly in a position to dictate terms) but nobody in England has even heard of him. Even Hatton won't fill Wembley or get mega PPV figures here unless it's against another high profile fighter such as DLH, Pac or Mayweather. If a Bradley fight was in the US would it get more than 10,000 anywhere? And Oscar has already been on the phone. Get real, people... Hatton has maybe three or four fights left in him; what the f**k would he fight Bradley for?

                  Sorry the only reason Witter got a split decision was because the fight was over here, Anywhere else and its a clear UD...........but thats the way i saw the fight.

                    It was a mandatory fight so Witter cant demand a rematch clause in the contract.

                      Hatton would slaughter Bradley, I wouldn't want to see the fight. Let me rephrase that, id like to see it if it happened, but id rather see Hitman-Pacman go at it, or a PBF number 2 bout. There are more options for Ricky that carry alot more presstige and a bigger payday!
