Ricky Hatton versus Takeshi Paul Fuji

They need to get that Ring Announcer in to replace Buffer

 

From the posted video very hard to say. His opponent was the polar opposite of Hatton, rangey with a persistent light jab.

The dynamic of a fight with Hatton would be very different and given this guy [Fuji] looks like he likes to go forward (thought not to the extent of Hatton) its likely there would be a lot of inside work and further to that holding.
From the video it is very hard to asses how a fight would go. Fuji looks like he is much more headed oritend then Hatton who gets the bodywork in eariler so there is the possibility of Fuji being broken down but Hatton does not always finish strongly as shown v Collazo, Lazcano and others.
If Fuji doesn't know the inside tricks that an opponent like Mayweather did it would be a tough night for him, I see Hatton winning on the inside but possibly getting wobbled at points/

 

Fuji reminds me a bit of Katsidis. Was funny at the end when the guy was really wobbly, takes about 10 clean headshots, then walks off normally.

Fuji by KO.

 

I'd take Fuji by KO.

He was arguably the biggest hitter 140 has ever seen, and Hatton wasn't a hard target to find and never had the most sturdy chin.

 

I'd take it by your assessment Fuji is very underrated and forgotten, especially because of thag that Locche bout. Is there anymore I could watch of him to assess?

Thanks.

 

Fuji was solid but not on the level of Hatton. I'd take the Tszyu Hatton mauled over any version of Fuji.

Paul could crack and had good hand-speed and there would be some susceptibility at range, but I think Ricky would do what he does well because of Fuji's penchant for biting on feints and Hatton's foot-speed. Ricky could close the distance, rough Fuji up, and break him down with body shots late.

 

If Hatton fought a smart fight, he'd get the decision. It's not hard to imagine him making a mistake though at some point and Fuji taking advantage of the situation and flattening him. Fuji would have a good chance against anyone at 140 except Locche of course, as well as boxers like Benitez or Whittaker.

 

Also, that referee in the Fuji vs. Lopopolo fight is beyond terrible.

 

Fuji beheads him.
