    I'd like to see that too, but expect Tszyu to take care of him (again) fairly easy

      i dont know, zab has greatly imporved since there first fight and he really seams focused right now. zab is hitting his prime right now and with zoo's inactivity/age it is conceivable that his skills have takin a hit.

        Myself too. To me, KT beating Hatton is expected because of his experience. The fact that he's on top of his game at 35 is it why this would make the win impressive.

          I might be in the minority but I think Hatton will give Tszyu a tougher than expected fight. My pick is Tszyu by stoppage but I think he will have to eat some good shots especially to the body before breaking Hatton down in the end. Hatton's style and quickness could make this a very tough hard fight for Tszyu. An all out war wouldn't be out of the question either.

            who has questioned tszyu before? who has NOT given him his due props, besides some judah fans, and even then, most of them recognize...

            only doubt in the mitchell fight was whether the long layoff would affect him, and sharmba was rolling at the time, so obviously theres some doubt whenever someone comes off a long layoff, but KT's always gotten his props...

              You can't take anythign from Tszyu and especially if he turns back this young lion you gotta give it up to him.

              The ONLY thing I usually try to play when in a ****** argument is that he's only defended a relatively few times compared to the length of time he's had the title but he's had good reason; injuries and such.

                I agree with you... Hatton brings more to the table than just a chin ready to be hit by Kostya! This is gonna be a tough fight for Kostya Tszyu.

                  Most definitely.......Hatton is most definitely a worthy contender and most definitely a future world champion............

                  fighting such a young gun (whilst relatively old at 36) in front of a huge home crowd is IMO Tszyu's biggest challenge thus far...

                  shall he win he will definitely receive tons of props (except from mayweather nuthuggers).

                    The matter of which he wins will decide what props he'll recieve.
                    If he shuts out Hatton and wins easily, I suspect that people will come up with excuses like Hatton's overrated, not ready etc...
