Zab Judah's Offer Was Embarrasing, Says Matthew Hatton

[sblock22]

How about a matthew Hatton Vs Andre Berto Fight!!

[baracuda]

i think it should be 50/50 on pay though i think judah would beat matthew.i really think zab can do some serious damage on ricky as well as long as he have the balls to finished 12 rounds and stop being immature and foolish like he did on his last fights.zab got more ego than gift that's 4 sure

Finally a sensible post. Like Floyd, he is fighting out of his natural weight in a division he doesn't belong in, yet he's doing what all you crybabies want floyd to do, which is actually fight the best. Do you people even watch his fights? He's not some bum, he's Zab Judah. So he had a couple embarassing stunts, I'm not denying that he's wasted some of the biggest talent the sport has seen and it's annoying. Still, he badly cut and scarred Cotto's mouth which now bleeds and wouldn't be surprising if Clottey made it bleed. He stumbled Cotto twice, and Cotto both times responded with monstrous low blows. You can argue all night whether or not that is why he won, or if he just was too big and destroyed the smaller man, but either way he made a p4p fighter and a monster in his division need to resort to dirty fighting to hold onto his strap. And he gave Clottey one hell of a rumble. That was an extremely impressive fight where he kept pushing the attack on a much bigger man and had his old stamina and speed. The same fighter that lost to Clottey that night would beat any 140 lber. Even if he's done training, he's just in it for a payday, like street bully said he will launch the useless hatton's career and they can hurry up and cash that bum out. Oh well, I guess we can say goodbye to his american debut.

question is :does he have the balls to fight all 12 rounds in any situation?he sure have the talent but he needs to work on his attitude!

Mathew hatton is a Joke....

Judah would rip his heart out easily

[Pugilistic™]

Judah would be a very good win for Matthew Hatton.

[Underdog82]

Matthew would not get a bigger name then Judah. Big mistake. People would have took a little notice, now he remains in his brothers shadow for life.

Judah isn't really a big name.

I respect Hatton's decision of rejecting it through principle but maybe he should of took the fight regardless of the offer, I know it isn't right but Matthew Hatton is kinda in his brothers shadow and wants out... at this stage a win over Judah isn't huge but its still something and it is a step forward from who he is fighting now at domestic level.

All I am saying is, Hatton probably should of taken the offer if he was confident in winning the fight... winning it would help guide him out of Ricky's shadow and he will start being noticed for his own career (no pun intended, but most people look at him as Ricky's brother rather than Matthew Hatton). However I think he is right in what he is saying... they shouldn't take the piss.

Competitor for the most depressing match up ever???

Biggest wasted talent for many years

vs

Brother of most successful british fighter and biggest ticket seller of many years


Putting it like that though, it strangely becomes an interesting fight

However I think he is right in what he is saying... they shouldn't take the piss.

Agreed. 50/50 would have been way ambititious and, frankly, for a fight in the States totally undeserved, but there is a still a limit beyond which you can't go without losing your self respect.

Matthew Hatton vs Bobby Pacquiao
