hatton still beats witter and bradley

[Da Hammer]

Hatton easily disposes of Witter IMO while the Bradley fight could either way. Bradley doesnt have the greatest power and his a shaky/average chin so if Hatton came in motivated i could see it being a very even fight. i'd probably favor Bradley by decision though i would like to see this fight!

A lightweight out of retirement in Luzcano hurt him badly. Feather fists Paulie Malignaggi shook him in the first round (the only one he fought worth a damn). Manny Pacquiao KOed him with ease, something Pac had not been able to do with SMALLER fighters of a supposedly lesser calibur.

He eat too many straight right hands in the Mayweather fight. He never recovered, and the end result is the chinny version of Hatton we have today.

Paulie shook Cotto as well at 140 as well as others. Conditioning plays a part in punch resistance and Hatton's conditioning for Lazcano was crap. Explain why other fighters who took more damage than ricky maintain their beards. Fighters like Ali, Fraizer, Corrales, Shane Mosely, etc. They seem to still be able to hold their own in the chin department. A fighter doesn't lose their ability to take a shot, just to see it coming. If that was the case Hatton must really have some brain damage by now.

Punch resistances as in not being able to hold a shot as well as you were once able to. Many things can cause punch resitance to go. Abusing your body (Hattons a prime candidate) taking to many shots (Hattons a prime candidate again) or simply age. Many things atribute to it.

In other words, conditioning. Conditioning is the only reason why a fighter would lose punch resistance. The brain does not get shook more because of age. Cerebrospinal Fluid does not decrease to cause more concussive outcome. Unless their was permanent damage to the brain that would cause the brain to move and collide with the skull more when hit than resistance should still be the same. Hatton was in great shape for the Pac fight and no permanent injuries to the head that would cause him to lose punch resistance.

You're on drugs Osama. Were did Paulie hurt Hatton? **** off back to BF so Ulster can school your ass some more.

God damn it are you on that guys nuts again? How many times is that in one week? That's stalkerish. Are you his puppet or what?

[MANGLER]

I don't see him beatin either now. Dude ain't gonna have the confidence to beat a top ranked fighter now. Hatton needs to walk.

[floydjoy]

this would defiantly be a malignaggi type scenario. hatton got beat off pbf and paq. hes not there level admittedly. but he'd still dispose of most the guys lurkin the 140 ranks no doubt. he got beat yeh, but he got beat off the best

I agree Ricky still beats both, but nowhere near as easy as he could have done in the past. I think the training had ALOT to do with Hatton's punch resistance in the Pacquiao fight. He didn't look as muscular as we have seen him, he actually did look pretty drained at the weigh-in and I'm not sure there was much emphasis on leg work which plays a big part in punch resistance. With a better training camp focusing more on strength work i.e. playing to Ricky's best asset rather than focusing on things he will never be good at, and a big focus on defence, namely keeping his gloves up and using head movement, then Ricky should beat these two guys.

[Don Johnson]

I always thought Witter had Hatton's number, I still think he does. Ricky stops Bradley though...Tim just doesn't have the power to hurt ricky.

[Ryn0]

Bradley would decision Hatton clearly.

[Davros?]

You never know what will happen till they fight, I still want to see Witter vs Hatton before they retire.
