And they fight well on the inside and outside . I think Hatton would be reduced to lunging forward all night long and either get knocked out or lose a decision , IMO Hatton can give good performances at Jr. Welterweight, there will plenty of interest at that weight. Kostya Tszyu stayed at that weight and did very well .

I know what your saying & agree he'd be in tough with someone like Margarito. I think he'd win against Williams right now, & I'd give him even money with Margarito. I feel he has more trouble with guys like Mayweather, Collazo, Quintana. But if guys like Corrales move to 140, & with the likes of Castillo, Witter & Demetrius Hopkins around Hatton can cleanout & dominate a solid division!

with a guy like Hatton on the card the people will come, He is a thrill ride ! and comes to fight
