I can't believe your regarding Hattons win over Castillo as a big one.
Everyone knows that Castillo was shot against Hatton.
The best wins on Hattons resumes are Tszyu (past his prime), Collazo, Malignaggi and i suppose Urango is a decent win also.
So out of 47 fights, Hatton only has four names worth mentioning on his resume.
Bradley has had 26 fights and holds wins over Junior Witter ( somone Hatton ducked), Kendall Holt and Lamont Peterson. Thats a solid resume considering he is only 26.
let me guess this right
Castillo fought hatton the night he suddenly became past his prime
Tszyu fought hatton the night he suddenly became past his prime
Hatton ducked witter...was offered millions to fight in the US, offered hundreds of thousands to fight witter in the UK
kendall holt and lamont peterson are far better fighters than what hattons ever been in with.........and beat
Jesus christ, shall we just stick ricky in with zelenoff and have done with it while were at it??
Wow, well since we're talking about you addiction to Hatton instead of the thread topic...................
Castillo was known to be in serious decline prior to the Hatton fight when he got a gift against Ngoudjo.
The Tszyu fight will always be a source of controversy, I give Hatton credit for making Tszyu quit, but come on that was four and a half years ago.
Let's compare them for the last 2 years shall we?
2008
Hatton
W corner retirement - over Malignaggi
W UD - over Lazcano
Bradley
W SD - Witter
W UD Cherry
2009
Hatton
L KO - Pacquiao
Bradley
W UD - Holt
NC - Campbell (ahead on the cards at time of stoppage)
W UD - Peterson
So in 2008 Hatton DID have a better resume than Bradley, but when you add in 2009 Bradley has had more success than a mile. As for the other things you talked about it's ancient history man, no way a fight from more than 24 months ago effects today's rankings.
For every story told that divides us, I believe there are a thousand untold that unite us.
