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.
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.

I agree his win over Malignaggi was much more meaningful than the Castillo win. He was able to put Paulie outside of his comfort zone and keep him there. Witter for all his flaws had a belt, Bradley went into his backyard and took it from him.
