    and fought ricky hatton,would ricky have trouble with the handspeed or would judah do his normal routine and fight excellent for 4 rounds and fizz out,i think it would be a great matchup both have been known for some dirty tactics,and also have shown somewhat at times stamania problems,i think somebody would get dropped,and i also think the numbers would be better than witter at least in the U.S,ricky will always sell tickets and zab has a decent following {BROOKLYN IN THE HOUSE]who else could get money fights and lose quite frequently,nevermind,oscar de la hoya,opinions my eastside friends:think :think

    Zab has the power and ability to KO Hatton but the smart money would be on Hatton to wear Zab down during the latter rounds.

    zab would beat him if he was to keep the pressure from round 1 to at least 1o.

    Yes, Zab need to go back to 140. He is a very talented fighter and needs to showcase this ASAP before he gets too old, it's not too late.

    I wish.

    ZJ brings some real excitement to an otherwise lacklustre Junior Welterweight division.

    Zab would win easily.. Hatton can't handle slick boxers, And Zab aint just a boxer but he's also a puncher. And Hatton doesn't have the power to KO Zab.

    Zab is a very talented boxer and has wasted his talent, but I am not sure he can beat Hatton, as styles make fights, so let's make the fight and find out.

    Yeah but the money is at 147 unless it's Hatton. Great matchup in my opinion

    Well Zab never really showed stamina problems at 140. Maybe just a little in the Mickey Ward fight but that's pretty much it. If Zab fought Ricky at 140 I think Ricky would get destroyed. Mayweather was a big enough puncher for Hatton and Zab is a bigger puncher then Floyd. Zab gave Floyd a MUCH better fight than Hatton did. Hatton trying to make it a rough and tough fight would benefit Judah simply beause Hatton cuts easily, and let's not forget what Judah did to Cotto's lip. However Zab would never be back at 140. In his last fight at 140 against Jamie Rangel he said it was getting harder to make the weight. Plus Zab is a descent fighter 147, and his last fight was at 154 and wasn't televised. I even think we might see a new Zab against Mosley. I don't count Judah out.

    I haven't seen Hatton cut up in any of his last few fights.

    The safe money is on Judah looking dangerous early but Hatton staying close and wrestling till Judah wears out.

    Similar to Cotto Judah, but alot uglier with Hatton holding and hitting the whole time.

    If it's in Manchester ... judah no chance.

    If it's in america ... judah has a chance in the first four rounds, then it's Hatton again.
