WBC champion Wilder is due to face Hatton’s friend and fellow Mancunian Tyson Fury in a highly-anticipated bout before the end of the year.
Hatton, 39, believes the Bronze Bomber is dangerous but says his style is far from accomplished.
In an exclusive interview with SunSport, Hatton said: “Technically, Wilder is hopeless. He’s technically sh*t.

“I wouldn’t teach my kids how to throw a punch like Wilder, but when he gets that straight right hand down the middle he’s dangerous.
“Tyson has been down a few times but if he hits him with it I don’t think he’ll get back up. That’s absolutely life-ending power he’s got.
“He’s got that big right hand, but will he get it in to someone who’s all over the show like Tyson?
"He switches and sways, southpaw, orthodox, he holds you. I don’t see him getting it in.”
Fury beat Sefer Seferi in June after three years away from the ring and then Francesco Pianeta two months later.
With Fury's box office bout with Wilder set to be on December 1, the 30-year-old is preparing to head to the United States for a training camp.
SunSport understands Fury will train at the secretive The Summit Gym at Big Bear Lake in California.
Fury and his team are due to fly out to Big Bear which offers high altitude training and state of the art facilities as he prepares for the biggest test of his comeback.
The Summit – which looks like a regular family home – has been the chosen venue for some of boxing’s biggest names.
Gennady Golovkin, Lennox Lewis and Oscar De La Hoya have all trained at the three-storey house in Big Bear which is 7,000 feet above sea level.
