Ricky Hatton v Zab Judah

Zab KOs Hatton at 140........i think it'd be a great fight and i'd def like to see it. I honestly doubt Ricky would fight em tho No i dont think they will fight either.. Ricky most likely has the rest of his fights mapped out..

Hatton should win but if he gets caught lunging in his gonna EAT that uppercut and i reckon he gets caught lunging in to lol I would say Hatton though

im done picking zab in big fights. the bastards lost me too much money over his career. I pick hatton to grind zab down and zab to bitch out in the middle to late rounds like he always does

Hatton would beat Judah at 140 and probably stops him late.

Judah wins by Left Check Hook Sounds unlikely since Judah boxes left handed.

Judah would take the early rounds, but Hattons constant pressure would get to Zab and he would stop him anywhere from rounds 8-11. Hatton has too much heart and will. That's the way I see it. One guy is a proven winner and the other one is a proven loser. I prefer to bet on winners.

Id go with Hatton in this one.

The today version of Zab will beat Hatton simply because Hatton is too small for him. Much like the Cotto-Margarito fight. And Hatton struggles against boxers with speed.

Zab judah sucks balls, every time he went up in class hes been blown away. People say @if hatton makes it past 5 rounds.. lol? Has zab ever koed/tkoed a person before the 5th round? (as in quality opposition)... zab has lost 6 fights all against quality opposition... Hatton TKo round 8.

I agree with you. Judah hurting Hatton late in the fight wouldn't be out of the question either although it wouldn't be as likely as him hurting Hatton early in the fight because of his obvious fading issues. And yes, it would be harder for Judah to knock Hatton out early because Hatton would still be fresh. Haha. Nice to agree with someone for a change!

Perhaps. I think how hurt Hatton gets is a little overestimated since we saw him KOd by Mayweather. He can certainly take punishment, and recovers from it to come back well. He just looks awful while he is taking it. If Judah were to seriously hurt Ricky, his handspeed means he might very well be able to go on landing many more shots before Ricky either got away or got a hold of him, which could spell trouble for Hatton. However, we only ever see Hatton hurt in the later rounds, he still has the stamina and energy not to get broken down early, so as we've discussed, i think its questionable whether Judah would get the early chance he needs, and if he did whether Ricky would actually get stopped rather than just rocked.

If hatton can make it past the fifth round he should win.

Hatton would demolish him imo.

A pre-Floyd Hatton would beat Zab but now Zab beats him by tko.

Judah's best chance to win would be to end it early, I agree that Hatton probably would win if the fight goes on for more than 6 rounds. I honestly think Judah could finish Hatton if he got Hatton hurt, Judah is a pretty good finisher. Perhaps. I think how hurt Hatton gets is a little overestimated since we saw him KOd by Mayweather.

I don't rate Judah really, but yes, he would have the style to beat Hatton if he were capable of executing it across an entire fight like Mayweather. He isn't. Hatton will do what he always does and come after Judah all night, and Judah will only have an answer to this for a while. Beyond a certain number of rounds Judah will simply not be able to consistently control Hatton. I totally agree he'll hurt Ricky at some point, especially when Ricky too fades, but he won't stop him and Hatton will have done enough to get the decision.

If Hatton makes it out of the first 4 rounds, which I'm not so sure about, he might wear down Judah late and win a decision. Hatton looked garbage in his last fight and I'm convinced the blowing up and binge drinking between fights combined with too much punishment in the ring has taken too much of a toll. Weight drain shouldn't be an issue for Judah since he came in at 147 last night.

Styles make fights, Judah has the style to beat Hatton, he's also a southpaw, Hatton doesn't really like southpaws. And Judah thrives on his opponents lunging in and leaving their chin exposed for counter shots which Hatton does, especially when he leaps in with that left hook. I'm not saying Hatton fades worse than Judah but he has faded late in his last few fights and is showing some signs of age.
