    I gotta go with Judah in this one, either by TKO or UD. I just can't see Hatton dealing with his speed. I've thought for a while that Judah belongs at 140 and think he could still have some success there. I'm also not a big Hatton fan and looking at the 140 pound division right now think a focused, or even semi-focused Judah could be the man there.

      His only chance is an early knockout. Its possible, but if Hatton really has improved his defence, Im sure he could play it safe for 4 rounds - after which Judah is no longer dangerous

        Zab Judah at 140 BEFORE he went to 147 vs. Hatton at 140 BEFORE HE went to 147, Judah woulda taken Hattons head off.

        Unfortunatley both of these fighters have faded since then, especially Judah. Judah still beats him but it wont be that easy.

            I think Judah is a super waste of talent. When he is on, he beats Floyd. When he turns it off, he gets KO'd by Tszyu or Cotto.

            I think that if he lands a few good punches, he can get Hatton in trouble. The problem is that Floyd was the only guy to do it and he was the very best at the time. We already know what the common opponent did to Zab as well. If Hatton pressures like he did against Tszyu, he will get Judah out of there. If he fights like he did in his last fight, he will go to sleep. Zab hits real hard and acurate when motivated. Especially @ 140.

            I would like to see that fight, but don't agree with Judah getting a shot at a title for a while. He's like the lighter weight Ruiz or Rahman. They just get as many chances as they want. It's bull****, IMO.
            People forget that Zab was absolutely raping Tszyu before he got knocked out. RAPING.

              Judah would win this fight. I think he would win this fight easily. Zab is too fast, his punches are too sneaky, and he hits too hard at 140 for Hatton.

                Hatton is befuddled by quick handed fighters and southpaws. Zab would have no problem getting in his straight left, uppercut, or right hook. After seeing how diminished Hatton's punch resistance seemed against Lazcano, I highly doubt he'd be able to absorb power shots from Zab. Especially the ones he doesn't see coming.

                  1) No he was nowhere near beating him easily. But, he may have been winning.

                  2) It does not matter when a fight ends in the 1-3rd rounds.

                  3) Don't even bother to defend Judah in that fight.

                  4) Bawk, bawk-chicken dance!

                    Be careful...You may be held accountable for those words. Zab would beat Hatton at 140. Malignaggi has a good chance of beating Hatton and he possess limited power if none at all.
