TOUGHER TEST FOR Mayweather: Hatton or Judah

Some say Floyd is avoiding tough challenges by moving up to 140 over Hatton and Cotto...instead to fight Mitchell and Judah... I think Judah is tougher for Floyd style wise because he is a southpaw, who can punch, is very very fast even at welterweight, and we haven't really seen Floyd in there with other slick boxers... Sharmba vs Cotto...I am not sure who I'd say is tougher...I think Floyd would have an easier time with Cotto...he would land at will, break Cotto down, hit him with so many clean shots that I feel Cotto won't make it to the final bell... Sharmba however is still fast, southpaw, a boxer-mover...and again like Judah...we have not seen Floyd in with other slick boxers... I think either way Floyd goes (Cotto/Hatton) or (Mitchell/Judah)...it will be tough...just two different sets of styles... This COULD be a way for Floyd to pack on a few, and settle into the weight before facing naturally bigger guys like Hatton and Cotto...if you ask me, I don't really find Floyd to be THAT small...I think he is physically a pretty strong guy himself...doesn't fight like a strong and physical guy...but he has handled his physique, speed, and conditioning well from 130-140... Its too bad Arum wouldn't allow Cotto to fight Mayweather at 140. Its also sad Arum crushed the fight for margarito because he didnt want to pay Floyd the money he deserved/wanted. To this day Bobs still f*ckin the game up but with Pac. Its refreshing to look back and not see f*ckin retarded Pac fan boys when discusing boxing and Floyd Maweather.

You know you're a bad poster when.... you litter the front page with necroposts that are 5 yrs old. :nonono:

So they were tests back then before he fought them but afterwards they were bums. Okay lol. Amazing aint it?

i think both hatton and zab can give floyd good fights, but i wanna see zab fight him the most.. it would be the first time that floyd faced someone as fast/quick as him and hit harder than him...

In your opinion, how good is Spinks? Yo Spinks cant punch but he's a boxing fool. speed, foot work, defence,fast hands, every thing he dose is text book and he's south paw he makes any other figter in his divison(besides juhda) look boo boo

Judah struggled with Spinks? Ummm...no. In the first fight, yes, he waited until the 4th or 5th round to start fighting Spinks because he kept waiting around for Spinks to get on his bicycle like Spinks had done against Mayorga. Judah just got started too late, although he still did enough to win the entire fight in my view, although a lot closer than it should've been. Next fight, he started right away, end result was domination and knockout of Spinks. In your opinion, how good is Spinks?

apparently you missed judah chasing witter around for 12 rounds on june 24 of 2000. I've watched that fight a few times, theres no way Judah chased Witter. I'd love to say Witter was running because i cant stand him but the fact is he wasnt running and he made Judah look bad. The US commentator just picked up on the fact Witter took time out a few times, they just dont realise thats his normal mind games.

I would say that Judah would present more of a challenge than Hatton. I would give Hatton very little chance to beat Floyd. Speed kills... Judah would be able to use he speed and boxing ability to probably go the distance and lose a decision. Hatton would most likely be TKO"D...probably on cuts.

anyone who has ever seen ouma fight knows he was not right that night at all. he was clearly sick. explain to me how hatton would beat judah. judah is accurate, skilled, fast as fuck. hatton is slow, has no defense, leaves his self wide open which plays perfect for judahs right uppercut and as he showed in his last fight his left uppercut. judah by tko 6. I've seen Ouma a lot and i've never seen anything to suggest he's an elite fighter, he's decent but Karmazin is a monster, he's doesnt allow fighters to box how they normally would. Hatton is slow :confused: are you on crack?? Hatton would slip them predictable shots with ease, Judah hasnt got a boxing brain, he looks great on the bags and pads but put someone in front of him like Hatton and he'll have no idea how to fight him. Answer me this, how the hell is Judah going to handle Hatton when a feather fisted and very Green Junior Witter give him hell. I hate Witter but i'd bet he'd beat Judah now he has a lot of power.

Zab Judah would be the tougher test of the 2.

Mayweather and Hatton will never fight.. Reason Mayweather would shit his trucks before he would step in the ring with Ricky... I think Mayweather is scared to fight in Manchester because he refs wont protect him, but i think he'd fight in the US where he knows he'll pick up points on the back foot. Personally i think Hatton would get robbed in the US so i dont think he should go there, elite US fighters like Mayweather and Hopkins pick up points for doing nothing(i.e Hopkins vs Eastman and Mayweather vs Castillo I).

Well since i think judah would beat floyd and hatton will be embarrassed by him like gatti was then obviously i think judah is the tougher test for PBF. but even if floyd were to beat judah he definitely wouldnt beat him as good or impressive as he would beat the shit out of hatton. Judah would get whipped by Mayweather and Hatton. BTW, Ouma got his ass kicked by Karmazin, it wasnt a fluke so why you have that as a sig is beyond me.

judah will beat pbf, judah represents to many problems for floyd you're tripping, Mayweather destorys the tease Judah. Zab is afraid, he didn't even want to put his belts at risk against Floyd, then he reneged on the contract, and it was for the most money he had ever been offered!!! Floyd is too fast and has too much movement for Judah. he would pick him apart, and being southpaw isnt going to make a difference. the only way Judah has a chance is if he fights Mayweather like Castillo in their first fight, and Judah doesn't fight like that. he isnt going to go toe to toe with Mayweather, he's going to get a lesson if he steps into the ring with him. i think Hatton has a better chance, because he can amke Floyd fight by applying tons of pressure, but Floyd knows how to handle that too.....

Hatton will be the bigger challenge. Judah will get knocked the fuck out if he steps into the ring with Mayweather. It's a sure thing IMO.

Hatton will bring trouble to Mayweather. Mayweather needs to beat cotto and hatton and then move up to 147. He has not shown me shit that he is capable of beating a great fighter.

Mayweather will have more trouble with Hatton but wins both. And yes Mayweather does praise Tszyu as a great fighter.

who PBF? he can't he has never fought him or did you mean something else? Yea, I'm talking about PBF. Check out some of his interviews. In a lot of them he always praises Tszyu. In the Gatti training tape he talks about, "I'm not going over to fight Hatton because they'll rob me just like they robbed Tszyu. That was terrible what they did to a great fighter like him." Check it out... its worth checking at for the training clips alone.

I think Mayweather would beat both guys, but I think both could give him some trouble. Both would give him different types of trouble. Hatton's all out offensive style might give PBF some trouble, but he's so fast and he can slip away from punches so well he probably could dance around the ring all day and just pepper Hatton with shots and then slide out. If Hatton might be able to press enough to slow Floyd down and force him to trade more than he wants to. In PBF-Castillo II, there was a point where Floyd was just peppering Castillo with overhand rights and then slipping away. I could see the same thing happen against Hatton. I'm not comparing Hatton to Castillo, I'm just saying that if Hatton tried to beat down Floyd on the inside, (like Castillo tried in their second fight) I don't think he would be successful. I also don't see how Hatton could drag him down into a war. Floyd is too conscious about not getting hit to let himself go and fight all out brawl with Hatton. Judah would offer the additional problems of moving up to 147 (Although he's already doing this for Mitchell, so it's probably not really a concern) and fighting a slick southpaw. Still, everything Judah does, Mayweather can do better. Debatable, but it's just my opinion. Both are great fighters and are slick, but Mayweather has more hand speed, foot speed, ring smarts etc...than Judah.Basically, if they both just boxed, Mayweather could pick up on Judah's weaknesses and exploit them. Even though Judah doesn't have any glaring weaknesses in my mind, Floyd would probably still be able to land most of his punches on him. I'm not a PBF fan by any means. I think he's supremely talented as a boxer, but I'm not a fan, so I don't want to be accused as being a blind Floyd fan. I think both matchups would offer great fights for fans, but I think Floyd wins both fights.
