Prime Ricky Hatton vs. Prime Zab Judah. Who wins?

Judah by late stoppage for me.

 

Attractive fight under any situation

 

Zab Judah by KO, Hatton is an overrated bum with little skills.

 

Hatton wears him down in a war.

 

Judah never had a prime,he was always a good at best boxer.Judah is without question the most overrated fighter of the last twenty years.

We hear how talented and gifted Judah is,and how much potential he showed early on in his career,and I can tell you that Judah has never showed glimpes of what could have been.


Judah was never going to be great,he overachieved in knocking out an ill prepared,overtrained Cory Spinks,who struggled greatly to make weight.His next best win after that is against Chop Chop Corley and that's it.


Judah has a glass jaw and no heart and has been beaten every time he stepped in the ring with a challenge(except his one win over an ill prepared,overtrained Cory Spinks).

He is a disgrace to this sport and the sooner he retires..the better.

 

i meant thaxton, but tackie was the biggest win of the so called animals career at the time.

 

Very interesting fight. Wish we could have seen it happen. I could easily see Ricky wearing Judah down. But I could also see Judah's speed giving Hatton fits. To me, it all depends on whether Ricky can gets to fight his fight or not. If he is able to use his punch, rush, hold,wrestle with impunity, I think he would make Judah wilt. But if not, I could see Judah using his speed to tag Ricky up.

 

Prime for Prime : Judah confuses Ricky for a few rounds but ultimately folds under consistent pressure. Even easier if it happens in UK and the hugger-mugger style is not ****ed with.

 

This is probably the Closest poll ive ever seen with this many votes, even closer than the Ward and Bute one.

Anyways at Welter I think Zab probably stops him in around 9 competetive Rounds,he carried his speed and power up to Welter, more so than Hatton.

At 140 I like Hatton he was much sharper and stronger against JW than against Welters. I think Hatton would have a chance at knocking him out but, im gonna say he takes Zab by a very close Majority decision.

 

Check this one out.......completely different subject matter, and not for the faint of heart..........

Hatton's chin before finally getting the granite cracked may've held tough. Zab may have rung his bell a few times but Ricky would upset Zab by mauling and smothering. Zab would've pissed himself and melted down. Hatton by UD or TKO.

 

In Vegas Hatton loses to KT as well. You can't really judge much from that fight, KT caught Judah just right and the fight didn't go long enough to see what Zab was going to bring to the table.

Zab at 140 is a whole different animal from Zab at 147, I like him in this fight big if he brings his A game. Whether he would do that or not is always the question.

 

I think Hatton would have won this.

 

I have to agree with you. Zab is a much better 147-pounder at his best.
