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

Judah is the more skilled, obviously, but Hatton is mentally and physically much stronger, and eventually Judah would crack under the pressure, as many others have already suggested. Hatton also has a lot more heart, IMO.

 

You fool

Your forgetting it Judah who couldnt take 2 rounds of punishment of Tszyu, Hatton took it for 11 rounds and made him quit.....Hattons chn in his prime was pretty ****in sterdy it would take a bigger puncher than Tszyu to KO him in his prime and im sorry to say Zab wasn't one

Anyway im surprised to see Hatton winning a poll on ESB,this fight he does take probly by KO/TKO late rounds i see him being too strong for Judah

 

Righty oh mate!!

115-113 up to the stoppage was maybe kind to Ricky but 116-112 probable

Hatton of the KT fight would have been epic had Hatton been allowed to fight on the inside

By the way i didn't say Hatton WOULD win i said he MAY have

 

In Manchester or the States?

In the US, a prime Judah beats Hatton. Hatton coming straight forward would eat that left all night.

In Manchester, Ricky would be allowed to physically wear Judah down eventually breaking Zab mentally on the way to a W.

 

Judah always cracks and Hatton (in this prime) always keeps on the pressure.
Hatton wins.

 

115 out of 120 before the stoppage which happened in Round 10?

 

Zab would destroy hatton. Hattons worst enemy is speed.

 

Ricky's low hands approach is perfect for Judah. Judah would land that lightning fast uppercut and I don't think Hatton's chin can take it.

 

Hatton KO 5.
Judah not in the same league.

 

My bad

My point was there was maybe only a couple of rounds in it

 

Ima have to go with Judah

 

Hatton wins by pressuring the little ***** untill the cracks start to form.

 

Could see this going either way. Hatton is a bad style matchup for Judah.

 

Hatton.

Zab wouldn't be able to deal with the constant pressure over the full distance of the fight. Unless he was able to get a big punch in early he would get wore down and probably stopped late by one of those body shots Ricky had in his prime.

 

If Judah was orthodox I'd pick Hatton by stoppage all day long.

Given that Judah is a southpaw I'd be hesitant, Ricky has beaten (I think) about eight or nine southpaws but never looked all that great doing it. He was stuck on his arse by Eamon Magee in the 1st round and nearly sparked in the 2nd, was hanging on against Collazo, looked **** against Urango and was KO'd by Pac.

If Hatton can see off the early onslaught I'd pick him to win, it's not the straight punches Hatton struggled with, it's the hooks. Collazo was nailing him at will with rights, as was Malignaggi with lefts...... whereas he took plenty of straight rights from Tszyu and Mayweather.
