in their primes: Ricky Hatton vs Zab Judah @ 140

I'll take a prime Hatton here. He was capable of shipping punishment and although he might got tagged with the left hand a lot, I think he'll make his way through the first 3-4 rounds down on the cards but after digging away at the body and roughing Judah up on the inside, I think he'll start to break Judah down as he fades.

 

Hatton, late KO body punch.
Zab doesn't have the power to trouble Hatton and he doesn't have the stamina to suck up Hattons constant pressure.

Hatton was a better fighter than Zab period.

 

So if the Hatton that fought Pac was in his prime as you say, then Hatton is still in his prime now with just ring rust from being out a year then? :-(

It was plain to see Hatton was past his prime post Mayweather, he beat Malignaggi so convincing because the magic man because he was never in Hatton's league to begin with and Hatton had no threat of being KO'd.

He was dropped by Mcgee your correct but 1. he wasnt hurt and was up by the count of 2, and 2. he took flush shots off Kostya Tszyu after that fight without even hinting he was hurt and we know how Zab reacted to Tszyu's flush shots.

At 140 and his prime Hatton was a monster and i think he braks Judah's heart and stops him inside 10, he was just too relentless for Judah.

 

Against Mcgee he was just caught with a good shot when he was open, straight up and carried on pushing the attack.

Against Lazcano he was out on his feet holding on, the ref stopped the fight for Hatton's laces or something similar for about a minute which gave him the chance to clear his head and carry on the fight.

The 2 situations are not comparable.

 

Judah would do just what Pacquaio did to Hatton, Ricky just can't fight southpaws or slicksters. Judah could really bang at 140 and his hands are as fast as Pacman/Mayweather. He also fought for 12rounds at a high pace at 140lbs

JUdah KO, its a no brainer, Hatton turned the fight down to

 

hatton would be trying to walk him down due to zab's punches not having much of an effect
zab would have to be moving all night and scoring points..

I always wanted to see malignaggi vs. judah

What's so funny that a :rofl is required?
Isn't Zabs ko % pretty ****?
Didn't Tszyu who had a far better ko% than Judah against better opposition hit Hatton with some huge shots which Hatton took?

Yeah, I thought so.:deal

 

He was dropped and hurt by a body shot.

He was also hurt by Phillips, Lazcano, Collazo and Tackie.

 

can any one tell me which elite fighter hatton beat who was in their prime

 

Hatton by stoppage

 

The same amount as Zab.

 

Judah had trouble with Micky Ward - an Hatton is MUCH better than Ward. This would be a win for Hatton if he can walk through that one good shot that Judah is sure to land

 

Yes but hatton is seen as a great fighter and future HOF by his fans Judah isnt.

In my opinion if they fought in the US i would think Judah KO
