No, I think the years have caught up with him and the lifestyle has had its affects.
In 2005 Hatton seemed to have that extra intensity and speed and savagery.
It has been sorely missing in his last few fights from what I have seen.

Now, back then, skill wise he was still not very good. He was never a good boxer; but his
work rate and commitment and tenacity had a bit more to it. This declined as the years ticked and the diet and lifestyle caught up. His last "great" show was vs. Castillo, who was an absolute shell.

I would honestly pick a peak Tsyzu to take Rick out. Tsyzu did extreme;y well in the actual fight
and I think Tsyzu wasn't at peak. He was a better fighter 3-4 years prior to the Hatton bout

A peak Tszyu probably beats any version of Hatton anyway. Plus against lower level guys he can afford to be faster and more aggressive as there is less risk involved.
He dealt well with Mallignaggi and on that performance Id have every confidence in him with most 140 fighters, but come summer that will be 18 months in the past.12 of those spent in the pub and chipper and prior to that he struggled with Lazcano. Plus Mallignaggi isn't a big puncher at all.
Having said that its been his only good performance in his last 4 fights.

I'd like to give Hatton credit for the Mal win, but Mal was so so poor and never even ****ing tried; and it wasn't all down to Hatton being very good. The guy was pulled out of the fight for lacking effort. Even Hatton was mightily frustrated
