12 rounds.

McCrory had a long reach and pretty good power, but Hatton would put a pounding on that skinny body and the later rounds would definitely all belong to Ricky.

It's a question of whether or not McCrory could build a big enough lead to overcome Hatton's building pressure. I don't think he could.

It's not out of the question McCrory could catch and knock out Ricky, but I'd favor Ricky

I know they were different fighters, but one question for me would be is Hatton better than Colin Jones as a welterweight. Jones was also an aggressive puncher and he and McCroy had two really good, close fights that could have gone either way. Could Hatton take McCroy’s size and power at 147? Maybe, I dunno because only fought, what, three fights at 147? I could see it being a close fight with Hatton getting the decision in the UK and McCrory getting it in the US

I think McCrory, naturally the bigger man and carried a dig.

I pick Milt by 8th round kayo.
