Mate you are seriosuly deluded at times:
First off did you miss the Castillo v Ngoudjo fight? Castillos first fight at 140 and he looked awful he lost that fight on my scorecard then two fights after the Hatton fight he lost to fucking Sebastian Lujan ffs and since then hasnt beat anyone close to world class id actully say his level of opponent are just a notch up form fighting the likes of Kid Thunder, Castillo win was against a shot version of the great fighter.
Now Hatton went to America so basically your saying Hatton didnt duck Witter he went to America? Well Hatton v Witter has been on the cards since 2000, and for some reason Hatton thought it would be better to fight the likes of Steven Smith and Ray Olivera.
Hatton should of fought Witter rite after he beat Jason Rowland or anytime after that up until he fought Eamon Mcgee but he didnt I wonder why?? Warren did not fancy the job one bit and I can see why, so the America excuse is a load of rubbish mate.
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.
p4p lists are built on opinion, it's not an actual sanctioning body or title dipshit lol hence the reasoning no one can fight for a "p4p title", it's as ludicrous as the WBC's "Diamond Belt"
funny how after Floyd stomped that ass Ricky was all of a sudden too small for welter, and even funnier how when Pacquiao put him into a coma after 2 rounds Ricky's "past caught up to him"
Castillo already showed signs of decline when he barely beat Ngoudjo
Herman Ngoudjo is a decent fighter NOW, when Castillo got past him he wasn't anywhere close to what he is now, and lacked experience big time, since then he lost to Hatton and Lujan, are you seriously trying to imply that Sebastian Lujan is a world beater cause he has a win over Castillo?
Hatton beat a game Tszyu....in a fight where the ref let him do whatever the fuck he pleased and not even get a warning
Hatton could have easily made way more money fighting Witter in England than fighting the likes of Malignaggi in Vegas
and anyone who doesn't think that Holt and Peterson are more well rounded and talented fighters than Castillo (at the point he fought Hatton) and Urango (who was beaten even worse by Berto) is pretty much blind
Don't be stupid.
Castillo had been in many wars, It was long before Hatton that he was regarded past it, He struggled to beat average Ngoudjo just before the Hatton fight.
Tszyu was a good win for Hatton. Hatton's best performance in his career.
Tszyu was no longer in his prime but was still a very good fighter.
A Hatton - Witter fight would of been huge in the U.K. They had major hate towards each other and were both champs in their weight class.
When it came down to an actual fight though, Hatton would make excuses like "why would i want to give Witter a payday" when thats just bullshit. They had there differences, it's a shame Hatton didn't want to settle them in a ring.
I don't like Witter but just admit it, Hatton didn't want none.
Holt and Peterson are good fighters. When you consider Bradley has only had 26 fights, his resume is solid. Who had Hatton fought worth mentioning after 26 fights ? Jon Thaxton ?![]()
Hatton did fight Pacquiao and Mayweather but the thing is he lost so why does two knockout losses count for something on Hattons resume ?
hahaha like 5 posts from 5 people with the same response.
ANYWAY................
Yes I think 140 has grown by leaps and bounds over the last 18 months.
For every story told that divides us, I believe there are a thousand untold that unite us.
I'm a big Hatton fan, but I can't agree with Hammer. Hatton hasn't got it anymore. His Castillo win is not as good as his Malignaggi win in my opinion. Bradley would beat Hatton now, he looks a polished fighter.
However, I have to take issue with the praise for Junior Witter. Witter hasn't done shit in his career, his biggest fucking win is Vivian Harris. Bradley has much more impressive wins on his resume.
For every story told that divides us, I believe there are a thousand untold that unite us.
one dangerous horrible bloke
We are not dealing in IF's we are looking at facts, Hatton has zero wins this year.
As to your distraction point about JMM vs. Khan results at this time I would rate Khan much higher than JMM at 140 reason being JMM has never fought at 140. If want to further extrapolate this into more distraction feel free.
Let's take the names out
Fighter A - is 0-1 this year
Fighter B - is 2-0 (with 1 NC) this year who ranks higher and why, without using names answer this............
For every story told that divides us, I believe there are a thousand untold that unite us.
Furthermore, if we are going to do a future reliability check, who has more to offer going forward? A young unbeaten fighter who is willing to fight anyone, or a fighter who is split between the options of retirement or one more fight?
For every story told that divides us, I believe there are a thousand untold that unite us.
I don't think you should be allowed to even type 'logic' until someone slaps you. Hatton IS NOT 26 YEARS OLD. That's all anybody in this thread is attesting to, he isn't CURRENTLY the top ranked guy out there(and most likely not the best) at 140. Noone is saying he wouldn't have beaten Bradley in his day, but that was several years ago. You are evidently in denial of this.

Ok well that's about it, has Hattonthehammer answered yet?
For every story told that divides us, I believe there are a thousand untold that unite us.
I think it's stacked but is without any real superstar. Like there are a lot of fighters who have a reputation that is bigger than their ability. I look at it and find it hard to see where the next Tszyu, Cotto or Mayweather is coming from.
It's solid don't get me wrong, but Maidana, Holt, Ortiz, Hopkins and Urango are all fighters who have become 'names' without ever really doing anything. I'm not even obver keen on Juan Diaz or Paulie to be honest.
Khan, Peterson and Alexander still have time on their side, and Bradley looked very good over the last year. I think it's an exciting division because most fighters are of relatively similar ability, but i still don't think 140 has found it's feet after been so good around 4 years ago.
Maybe we were spoilt by having Corrales, Mayweather, Gatti, Tszyu, Hatton and Cotto
