Taylor UD And just because he struggled with Catterall doesnt mean Hatton would win, Hatton made a hard nights work out of alot of fights. Styles is Taylor UD.
Hatton points. Josh has the tools were he could beat Ricky (working behind the jab), but he likes to fight in the pocket, which would have played right into Ricky's hands.
This would've been a superb fight and Ricky gets massively underrated on here. But, despite the Catterall disaster - where I think Taylor ****ed all sorts of things up prior to the fight, for me it would have to be Taylor. He can box, he can fight and he can bang. His body of work inside 20 fights to clear out the division is exceptional. The Catterall fight is a bad look at the moment and he's made himself look a right numpty in the media since.... but he's taken a really good fight next in Zepeda and I think he'll right the wrong with Catterall afterwards... looking like the Josh Taylor we expected in the first fight when doing so.
Cracking fight this, Taylor has the tools to get the job done but maybe likes a tear up too much which could suit Ricky. Tough one, I'll pick Taylor but could change my mind.
Think Hatton draws Taylor into a 12 round slug fest, I would take Taylor to win just based off Hattons out of the ring antics whereas Taylor’s an athlete. FYI I’m more of a Hatton fan than I am JT
Hatton would absolutely destroy Taylor. He was never the bestwith South paws either but a level above Taylor.
Which Hatton are we talking about? If we’re talking about Ricky then he embarrasses phoney Taylor who can’t even land a solid shot and wins by UD or late KO/TKO.
