    hatton by TKO.
    Actually he has fought a pressure fighter like Hatton before and his name was Castillo and by all accounts he is very good at pressure. He also adapted and handled Castillo pretty convincingly in there 2nd fight. Now on the reverse has Hatton faced a boxer like PBF?

    The other question is strengths and weaknesses.

    1) Outside: At a distance it would be hard for even the most ardent Hatton fan to say PBF doesnt enjoy a HUGE advantage here. PBF by a huge margin

    2) Inside: Hatton is better here because its his natural style and he is the bigger fighter and has the bigger punch, however it isnt a HUGE advantage because of PBF sholder rolls and fighting style (like James Toney) which is very comfortable inside even with back to ropes.

    Hatton has almost a good a chance at beating PBF as any except for Zab (I think Zab's speed/power combination gives him the best chance at this time out of the top PBF potential opponents.

    However I think PBF in convincing manner, UD.

      Not to nut-ride you, but your writing style is a welcome addition on here.

        Natural Boxer vs Natural Fighter

        If Hatton makes it a slugfest and a battle of who wants it more he will win. He has a ko punch and can take punches with the best of them. With hattons gung-ho style he will get caught with a lot of shots but I cant see him getting ko'd. If it does happen it will be the most exiting fight in years!

            If Judah somehow beats mayweather, you will see Hatton jump in the mix and challenge judah i bet
