    Yeah, did seem to have problems with Baldy, but Hatton seems to have issues with slick southpaws, I think Hatton would win just because Zab does have a suspect chin.

        Zab's too mentally weak, he couldn't handle the constant pressure. Hatton by KO, or DQ win. I wouldn't take this fight if I were Hatton, nothing is gained from it, Judah has already lost two in a row, and the PPV buys for Mayweather-Judah weren't as large as anticipated. People are finally seeing past the hype. Hatton-Gatti/Baldy is the match I would make if I were his handlers.

          I'd like to see him against Cotto, see who's the better fighter, but that's just me.

            Well if it did happen, it won't happen until 1 year from now when Zab's suspension is up.

              I'm sure Don can find a way round that - is Judah cooked now as a fighter though?

                The key to a Hatton-Judah fight lies in rounds 5-12 of Mayweather-Judah. Floyd was the aggressor in those rounds, coming forward, forcing Judah back....Zab showed he can't fight in such a mannor, which is why Floyd pulled away and Zab "looked horrible".

                Guess which direction Ricky fights in?

                Hatton by KO or TKO in about 6 or 7.

                  seems to be the general consensus, Baldy backed Zab up and he didn't like it either, question is does a win over Zab now carry weight in the US?

                    I think so, actually. Zab has been overrated; but he's not a bad fighter. He's a top ten welterweight at the very least and is talented enough to beat the majority of the guys out there, so an impressive win over Zab at this point would still make people stand up and take notice.

                    Remember, he's only been stopped once; and wasn't dominated when he was stopped. He won the first round and got caught in the second. If Ricky and he got together and Ricky dominated and stopped Zab, it might not be as huge a win as it would have been before Baldomir and Mayweather; but it would still be a significant accomplishment, IMO.
