View Full Version : Mayweather Eliminator: Hatton versus Zab
BLOODSHED 12-05-2005, 02:32 PM I made a thread about who would beat Floyd first. Well, Zab was the first choice by people here and Hatton was second.
I can't help but to think if Hatton and Zab squared off and fought. That would be a GREAT matchup but I think Hatton exposes Zab and early. I say a 4th round stoppage.

if this fight is in the US. I see Judah winning a decision. Sort of in the similar fashion that he beat mickey ward. Judah's foot speed should be a big factor in this fight
TuPrincipe 12-05-2005, 04:21 PM Judah is much too reckless when He fights. I think Hatton would knock Judah out around the 8th round. Don King is protecting Judah against big punchers so I really don't think this fight would EVER happen.
Judah has not been in with a threat since Zoo, I cant wait to see how he reacts when he finally gets back in the ring with another threat.
I have serious doubts that Judah can beat a guy like Hatton, in order to beat Hatton you must TAKE as well as you GIVE (there is just no other way)...Im not sure Zab can TAKE.
DiegoFuego 12-05-2005, 04:33 PM I think Zab would barely win this one. He'd have to land bigger stuff than Tszyu did, but honestly Tszyu never landed a real big punch against Hatton. If Judah tees off on Hatton, the Hitman is done by the 8th.
TuPrincipe 12-05-2005, 04:33 PM Judah has shown that He cannot take a punch so He's going to put in with soft-punchers for the rest of his career.
If Floyd fights like his self as of late (drunk with power) He would get knocked out by Judah, but if not then He will cruise to a TKO win.

Hatton took a couple of bombs and shrugged them off.
Hatton would easily outmuscle Judah, and rip apart the midsection of Judah who has an average defence. I see no way Judah beating Hatton because of the fact that He can't take a punch.
It doesn't matter how good you are, when you get in with the top guys and you can't take there punch you won't win.

Floyd fights often times as good as he needs to fight in order to win.
When he fought Augustus and Corely (two patsies) he fought sloppy and was willing to trade.
When he fought Corrales and Gatti (two perceived threats) he fought sharp as ****(he fought smart).
Judah is certainly a threat therefore you will see as sharp/smart a Floyd Mayweather Jr. as we have ever seen...at least in my opinion.

That's exactly what I'm saying.
Floyd fights down to the level of his opponents and if he were to fight Judah, with alot of money on the line and PRIDE He would beat his best and knock Judah out.

I think your right when you say he will cruise...
If Corey Spinks can trouble Zab what the hell will Floyd do?
Corey Spinks wouldnt lay a glove on Floyd let alone beat him?
But who knows Zab is a southpaw who can crack, he will need to land something big to win because he is not going to consistently win rounds against Floyd.
TuPrincipe 12-05-2005, 04:51 PM Corey Spinks is a very underrated boxer. No one rates this guy because of the fact that He can't bang, nor can He punch.
He's a very good boxer who gives guys trouble because of his boxing ability.
I think the fact that Spinks knocked him down tells it all right there for Tszyu. He cannot take a punch. Not to mention the shellacking Tszyu put forth on him.

I think that exact opposite...Corey Spinks is a very overrated boxer.
Corey recieves a ton of credit for being a slick southpaw who is tough to catch and frankly I think thats bull****...Corey is not difficult to hit at all.

Part of the reason people think so is because he is constantly potshotting much like Byrd dooes and then goes on his bicycle. He outclassed Mayorga, and Judah the first fight although it was a fairly even fight.
Corey proved how good his boxing ability was the first fight with Judah. His boxing ability trumped Judah's raw speed and power.

hatton's been dropped and it wasn't a balance issue when it happened.
Are you saying he was hurt against Eamon?
TuPrincipe 12-05-2005, 05:17 PM hatton's been dropped and it wasn't a balance issue when it happened.
He got hit with a good shot. He then managed to outclass Magee over 12 rounds.
BLOODSHED 12-05-2005, 05:33 PM Floyd will NOT TAKE from Hatton.
