he looks a solid good fighter - and to beat Witter is a very good win

yeah he can beat Hatton and co at this stage

He's good, but not that great. Hatton beats him handily IMO.

Prime Hatton vs Bradley would be competative but right now Bradley would probably stop Ricky.

Hatton mauls and brawls en route to a UD.

I think he could beat Hatton. But then I've got a sneaking suspicion Malignaggi could do it, or at the least cause him a lot of problems and make him look very beatable.

It's a toss up between him and Ortiz for who will rule what is a pretty sorry looking division in the future.

Thoughts? A bit more actual reasoning from yourself wouldn't go amiss, that was my first thought.

I thought he was good against Junior and he's a fresh, strong, tidy operator. But I downgraded my opinion of him after last night, he lacks sparkle. He's straightforward, finds it hard to force the issue, doesn't seem to carry that much power.

All that said - there's so little at 140 he could well 'rule' until someone of genuine talent emerges or moves up (Guzman?!).

Hatton's got 2 fights at the weight left maximum, possibly even one. He won't be fighting Bradley. So comparisons are a bit pointless.

:huh Bradley isnt exactly a concusive puncher is he ?

A win against a half shot witter and edner cherry hardly makes you the man, excuse my sceptiscism as i like the kid.

I dont want to see him built up like lacy etc.... you no the next big thing only to get beat up by kotelnic or some one.

Kotelnik is a good fighter though, my favourite in this division. Lovely precise boxer that does everything well, just needs a bit more power. His "losses" could have gone either way with Witter and M'baye. It wouldn't be a disgrace to lose to him.

Bradley is a bit basic and predictable. He could do with adding something other than jab, walk forward, throw a looping right hand to his arsenal. I couldn't believe Witter didn't adjust to that, must have been one of those terrible nights for him. He has good athleticism, stamina and I like his attitude.

In most divisions it wouldn't be enough, but he has a chance.

chill out mate you only had to ask, i thought bradley looked decent last night, cherry isnt a bad first defense of your title, he beat witter convincingly i thought he had great handspeed and decent movement as well he made witter(who many thought was the best at 140) look pretty stupid really, i think bradley has the right attitude to do well also hes confident but not cocky, i think he would be too much of a classy operator/boxer for hatton personally, saying that it would not surprise me if hatton did maul his way to a victory but i think hatton is on the way down and i have never rated paulie in the first place. Prime hatton (before floyd, around the time he first became a champion) would win handily IMO but now, i think bradley would be too fresh





hope that helps!


P.S i was asking a question and was interested in everyones thoughts, i already know my opinion on it so i dont need to write it down, all you had to was ask. ok!:good

compared to victor ortiz, Lamont peterson,tim bradley,Richardo Torres,Kedell holt just to name a few Khotelnik seems very basic some 1 like gavin rees who went the distance with khotelnik and won a few rounds in between would probrably have gotten smashed inside 5 by the above fighters,

Rees didn't go the distance. He got a brutal sustained boxing lession over 12 rounds, and knocked out in the 12th and final round. For that, we can all be grateful.

I take your point though, but it just highlights what I said. His problem is he has very little power. It's the main thing he is lacking, he's a very good technical boxer and a good counterpuncher.

If he had the power to discourage guys from coming forward, or if he could back them him up with hurtful shots occasionally he would be a force.

Kotelnik's a good fighter, but very one paced, and takes his time to get into fights. against the best, i think he'd find himself too far behind before he got into gear against the divisions elite. great accurate puncher though when at his best. although the rees fight probably flattered him a bit as he was there to be hit.

Not forgetting how kotelnik got tottaly robbed against witter, Bradley also has little power as well.

bradley had edner cherry hurt multiple times last night so as far as power goes he has decenr pop to go with that nice hand speed

his win over Witter was not a falsh in the pan, the guy is very useful and i'd take him to knock Hatton out, unless Hatton has one of his refs there to help him with his shoelaces when in trouble.

Bearing in mind that you take feather fist Malignaggi to knock Hatton out I think we can see this comment for what it's worth. Bradley is good though, if a bit one dimensional.

He's good, an punch hard with that right and can take a good shot but i'd still rather watch my parents have sex then a unification series at light welter, the division is bare of any real talent bar Hatton.

how about the parents in a foursome with a couple of chimpanzees?

ummm, thats enough.

tbh i'd rather watch the hatton fight as occasionally some boxing does break out in his fights.

Bradley is good - and didn't receive enough credit for beating Witter IMO on either side of the pond.

Yet he beats a 135lb gatekeeper like Cherry in a typical 1st defence od a title yet receives rave reviews.

Strange business.

I think now Witter is out of the picture Bradley maybe getting set up as the new figurehead for the ESB Brit "anti-Hatton brigade".

The "Hattons shamelessly ducking Bradley" will start any day now.:patsch

Victor Ortiz is better now, and will be in the future. If anyone is going to rule the division post-Hatton, it will be him.

For once I agree with Brendan Ingle on subject Hatton

Brendan said that Hatton would win
