He's overratted, always has been.

Witter takes him too imo.
Now I was nervous betting on the Floyd Fight, but i have no hesitation in betting on Hatton in these two possible fights.
He won't take those fights anyhow. He'll go for the money and a De La Hoya loss imo.

I honestly think his bubble has burst now. When you take away his wins over an ageing, inactive Tyszu and a shot Castillo nothing else he has done is that impressive.

Collazo who beat Hatton was completely schooled by Mosely. Urango was almost KO'd by a journeyman last time out and Maussa has been simply blown away by a young kid.

Hatton is/was a decent fighter who got lucky by facing a Tyszu on a way out.

He's never beaten a young prime fighter with talent.
Being Objective Bilbo, I have to say that is inaccurate. I would wager this second that Hatton regains a Title within his next three fights.

I am a little concerned now that his undefeated aura is broken, but I feel that he will be back at Light Welter and Witter and Malignaggi. He's too proud to take a mediocre opponent and I feel once he goes to 140 will hunt down Witter and Paulie immediatly.
If he fights Torres or Rees he wins a belt back no question. If he fights Witter (he won't) or Maliggnaggi it's going to be a very hotly contested controversial judging decision that will see him lift the belt.

He's so popular he only needs to go 12 rounds to win a deciison against either of these guys, and Paulie doesn't have the power to stop him.

But I'll be more than happy to have a sig bet with you that if he fights Malignaggi the majority of people will say Paulie should have won the fight. It will be Collazo all over again imo.
