But both Bradley and Witter are better opponents than Paulie - no doubt in my mind before this fight.

Instead, Hatton is going to make more money fighting Pac Man or Marquez - fights in which he will make more money and enjoy all the physical advantages. This is becoming a disturbing trend in boxing IMO, pioneered by Bernard Hopkins...

I think that Bradley or Witter would pose Hatton serious problems at the moment.
I dont think Witter even deserves comment. You can make a case for Bradley though but I really dont think he will be on the radar for the time being. Doesnt bring as much cash as those other fights. If Hatton fights Oscar then that is a significant size disadvantage for Hatton himself.

But yes, Marquez and Pac are naturally smaller than Ricky. Definitely, but they are huge money fights.

I wouldnt mind seeing a Bradley fight if he can win a few more big fights and Hatton is still around say 18 months later. It could build into a lot more than it would be now.
