Ricky Hatton v Zab Judah

[abadger]

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. 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.

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

[Ia23n]

Hatton would demolish him imo.

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

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!

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.

[Numero Uno]

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.

[Chrismart]

Id go with Hatton in this one.

[Easy-E]

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.
