Could Ricky Hatton beat Zab Judah at 147???

[sicklelee]

I know Hatton wants a rematch with Floyd Mayweather, but could Ricky handle someone like Zab at 147??? Zab gave Floyd Mayweather hell in the first few rounds, and busted up Cotto with 5 to 6 months inactivity. Could he stop (kO,TKO) Hatton??

Zab Judah fights very well in the 1st half of fights as we all know, and has the power to knock people out. Zab has the abilities to beat Hatton, fast hands, power, and he's a southpaw. His brain/fading is the only question to answer?? I think Zab could beat hatton and even KO him like Mayweather did. If Zab could stay focus the whole fight he could really **** Hatton up.


Collazo and Floyd didn't qo so well at 147. I think Hatton should prove himself at 147 again before challenging the top dog once more!

I don't think he could, I think zabs way too fast and zab has a better defense then hatton in my opinion. I actually see zab stopping hatton late.

NO

[THe TRiNiTY]

He could. One thing you can't say about Hatton is that he is a fighter who normally fades. And if Hatton just kept coming at Judah, WHO HATES to be crowded, he could beat him. I doubt he does at 147 though, to be honest.

[Silencers]

It's possible because Judah doesn't like a guy with Hatton's style.

Edit: Just wanted to add that Hatton doesn't like the kind of style Judah has as well, I think it will depend on who fades worse down the stretch.

Ricky at 147 is a mistake waiting to happen... again

To beat Judah you have to be able to either

1) avoid his shot (Spinks I- Mayweather for most part)
or
2) take his shot good enough to go deep (Baldomir)
or
3) have a bomb that can take im out early (Tzu)

Hatton isn't a defensive wiz and will eventually get caught with Judah's left uppercut which is what Magee and Collazo caught him with. Magee dropped him and Collazo had him on ***** street. All 3 are southpaws too.

Judah also has more power at WW than Mayweather or Collazo.

I'm not saying Hatton could'nt win if he smothers Judah and takes him deep just think its the lower probability. Judah landed clean on Spinks and Mayweather 2 fighters with much better defense than Hatton.

NO

you forgot HELL

[The Surgeon]

Id start Hatton favourite yeah. I see it like the way i thought the Cotto fight would go - Hatton winning by pressure and volume working Zab over till he folds BUT as with Cotto the very real possibility of getting tagged and KO'd by 1 of those Thunder bolt left crosses!

beat?

He couldnt beat him at any weight with a stick.
