    Judah is good but Hatton was a level above. Hatton was much better than Judah.

    7 months is a long layoff to you? KT destroyed Mitchell in 3 before. Same guy it took Mayweather 6 and Paul Williams 4 to stop after.

    Hatton was the recognized JrWW Champ of the world. That's about as legit as it gets at 140.

    Hatton was an over achiver, Judah is supposedly an under achiver, but he's always had too many flaws to be P4P material IMO.

    Judah was the recognized 147lb champ of the world - so what's your point?

    I was never a fan of Hatton, so maybe unfairly would say Judah.
    To me Hattons career and risks were so planned that I used to not rate him at all. I felt he ducked alot of top fighters and only fought Mayweather because he looked so poor and beatable against Oscar and Pac because he was a lighter fighter.
    Judah fought everyone, win or lose

    Pisses me off when I hear that hatton beat a "shot to ****" zoo. He was coming off one of his best wins in a destruction of Mitchell, who was still seen as a good fighter: zoo even won comeback of the year I believe, hardly the sign of a shot fighter. Seems that a lot of people on the forum can't tell the difference between "past prime" and completely washed up".

    Mitchell was a similar age to Zoo and had looked lucky to many in some of his fights against lesser fighters previously.

    Well, let's take a look:

    Wins over Tszyu, Malignaggi, Urango, Collazo, Castillo, Phillips, Maussa, Tackie, Lazcano, etc, with losses to Floyd Mayweather & Manny Pacquiao.


    Wins over Spinks, Matthysse, Witter, Corely, Mabuza, Ward, Paris, etc, with losses to Tszyu, Spinks, Baldomir, Mayweather, Clottey, and Khan.


    Hatton's nowhere near great, but he's certainly well above Zab.
