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.

It was a right hook with Magee. He got caught late with Collazo after uncharacteristically fading.

I think Hatton could beat Judah who has a reputation as a puncher largely due to his fights at 140 lbs, but who hasn't really proven himself as such at 147 lbs. Judah fades and badly against anyone who is still active after 4 rounds, Hatton would still be active and would start to land more frequently from the fourth round on before bullying him into submission by the 11th.

i agree

also no disrespect to Hatton but he could smoother his way to 4 round if he wanted to & Judah would be ready for knocking out then anyway ,Judah's uppercut did'nt hurt Cotto i think u are overating the power he delievers it with ,Cotto is hardly Pernell Whitaker defensively either is he he eat that uppercut off Judah & he got hit with lots of clubbing right hands from Mosley ,he was on the deck against Torres who aint exactly the best boxer Torres may be a good puncher but he aint a good Boxer & he managed to find Cotto easily enough aswell

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!

if Hatton can get past the first 5 rounds he can beat Judah at 147.

I rate Ricky massively......................at 140. I think he has to come to terms with the fact he is not a natural 147 pounder; he could compete, but the his power is blunted against the bigger guys,

Given his height , if he didn't have a junk food habit, do you think he could sweatdown to 135 without loosing any power??? He'd be pretty awesome then, but you'd have to be a brave bastard to volunteer as his dietician!!!

It's a fight I've thought about a lot.

I think ultimately Zab doesn't fight hard enough to keep Ricky off of him. Hatton is like Baldomir, only better; faster, a stronger body puncher, a better boxer-puncher. He fights three minutes of every round; Zab fights one, one minute twenty or something. He's lazy. He's never had a great workrate. I think Judah could well win it, but it would rely on different factors like Hatton walking into some big lefties, Judah being in his absolute best condition and moving around a lot...

I think Hatton would outpoint him, bust him up in the last four. Judahs not a big 147 lb'er. Hatton isn't his best at 147, so Judah could have an advantage there but if Hatton gets on his chest, like he always does, and doesn't give him a minutes rest like Cotto, Zab can only lose.
