    And every time Hatton has faced an elite fighter he.....hmmmm well he will hopefully face an elite fighter soon so we'll see.

        Maybe...if Judah was orthodox.

        But he's a crafty southpaw with decent power.

        Hatton will be open to that right hook all night long.

          Hatton's side-stepping, strength, ferocity, stamina have all disappeared. In his last four fights, he hasn't doubled and trebled the hook like he used to or shown his usual velocity, his body has looked weaker and he hasn't gone to the body (his trademark) or thrown his combinations like the old Ricky Hatton.

          I just think he missed the boat.


          I see the old Ricky Hatton surrending a few early rounds but catching up with Zab soon enough and getting him out of there with bodyshots, using his side-stepping (which used to be his best asset but of which is now non-existant) to get inside and load up.

            He was king of the best division in boxing, beating the #1 lb4lb fighter in the world (according to Bert Sugar, Freddie Roach, KOTV, just off top of my head) and greatest 140lber ever, you seem to forget. He didn't just beat him, with perfect tactics, he made him quit on his stool. And nobody had given him much chance beforehand.

              Judah is a small version of how Mike Tyson was.

              Probably because they're both from Brooklyn if that sounds ignorant. Realistically they're both watched and scruitinized more than any other fighters because of their past antics, but one thing is for sure....like Tyson Judah can deliver. It's almost like he's due to have a big win because he'll get have lackluster outings against lesser opponents (Spinks, Baldomir) and follow it up with a really brutal knockout.

              I mean. Cosme Rivera was a durable S.O.B. who had never been knocked out and had fought some tough guys.....and Judah just completely thrashed him.

              He's unpredictable but he's as good as anyone when he's focused.

                Tszyu KO Judah 2, Hatton made him quit. Judah has tools, but he is so weak mentally, I can't see him winning this fight....

                      Tsyzu wasn't undefeated when he fought Judah, and was a 2-1 underdog, he destroyed Judah with the first clean right hand he landed. You can't say that Hatton has never beaten an elite fighter, when one of his opponents destroyed Judah...
