Who wins prime for prime: Zab Jadah vs. Ricky Hatton

Hatton would pressure Judah until Judah cracked.

 

judah picks up an early lead but hattons pressure narrows the score cards around 9 or 10 hatton floors him judah gets up hattons all over him the referee intervenes! hatton tko 10

 

hattons pressures him from the beginning and stops him round 6-7

 

check hook. down goes hatton...

hatton's defense is his face. Judah KO3 Hatton

 

I don't think Judah can ever outbox a pressure fighter as relentless as a prime Hatton. The only question is whether Hatton can take Zab's power early. An early KO is Zab's only hope. Zab's not really a good boxer who can box his way to a decision against an elite fighter he can't overwhelm with his power. He can't make adjustments, and he will not be sticking to any gameplan for 12. If Hatton's chin holds up, which I think it should, he wears Judah down and Judah will have had enough by the 8-9th round.

 

Judah, too smooth and fast

 

i cant see how zab could take ricky...

too much pressure and zab hates pressure...he is as mayweather puts it "a 4 round fighter"...thats not a bad description for zab.

Zab could ko ricky early if he was lucky but that would have to be his only chance ...beyond that zab fades and runs out of ideas as ricky keeps coming forward ala Baldomere

 

Ricky late stoppage is pressure would be too much to handle for zab.

 

The Hatton of the Tszyu fight would stop Judah late, absolutely no doubt about it. Hatton of 2005 had far better punch resistance than he has now. Watch the Tszyu fight, that Hatton would probably lose the early rounds to Judah on account of Judah's speed, but he would break him down in the late rounds. 11th round TKO for the Hitman.

 

These are two of the most overrated fighters of recent times with that being said Hatton in his prime was a better fighter than mental midget Judah and would win by late stoppage or by DQ.

 

Zab Judah. This isn't even close. Quite hilarous, this thread is.

 

'too slick and too fast' tell tszyu and cotto that lmfao!

 

Yeah, Hatton is a solid pressure fighter at 140 and his aggression, bobbing around and rough-housing on the inside would be enough to overwhelm Judah. He's actually not as easy to counter as people seem to think. Judah has a shot at a KO at some point if he nails Hatton on the way in, but it's unlikely. Zab capitulates mentally sometime around rounds 10-11.

 

I think the ref would be very important in this fight, does he let hatton do all the wrestling he wants? If so easy fight for Hatton

but if he forces them to box then zab picks up some of the earlier rounds until later in the fight when he starts to loose focus an hatton takes over.


I mean floyd tried to back up and get the distance that he wanted but hatton closed the distance very fast, he has fast legs. Zab dont have the inside game, stamina and focus that PBF has so Hatton would get him on the inside.


Really Zab would have to knock out hatton in the early rounds to win. I dont think he can keep away from hatton for 12 rounds and outbox him. If Floyd couldnt stay on the outside against hatton like he wanted Zab wont be able to either and he will get broken down from the pressure and wrestling
