Ricky Hatton vs. Zab Judah - Who was greater?

but that's in your opinion, like when you claimed you weren't a one-eyed british fan
the beauty of forums like this (and especially this one, because I think it's got a perfect format) is that we get to disagree with what people think.
afraid I have to disagree with your perceived objectiveness, my friend :good

 

It's very very close, they're pretty much equal but I had to choose one I would go with Hatton and that's who I voted for.

Hatton's loss to Pacquiao is similar to Judah's loss to Tszyu, Hatton's win over Collazo is similar to Judah's win over Matthysse, they both lost to Floyd.
The I went for Hatton is because he has a decent list of wins (as pointed out by deadACE) and he has less losses Zab (even though Hatton might have also lost if he fought Zab's opponents)

It's even difficult to separate them prime for prime, head to head. Both had power. Zab was quicker and more skilled but lacked heart and stamina. Hatton had plenty of heart and stamina and a very good chin in his prime.

Ask Kostya Tszyu.

Think Hatton edges it as his weakness were not as damaging as Judah's

 

There were several fighters that I dont think Hatton wanted to face and I think Judah was one of them.
I think the undefeated version of Judah would have beaten any version of Hatton and I would have probably have favoured Judah almost any times, if they were to have fought.
As to who was greater? Its a tough one. Judah may get discredited a bit due to losses later in his career.
Hatton was an undisputed LWW champ, Judah an undisputed WW champ.

I couldnt really argue who is greater, which is what you asked, but would rate Judah higher personally, as I just felt he was a better boxer who I think would have KOd Hatton if they fought.
I was never completely convinced about Tsyzu, but dont think I would have picked Hatton to beat the younger more active Tsyzu, who beat Judah, and think that had Tsyzu and Judah fought 100 times, think Judah would win more than lose, but its what happened on the night that counted

 

Forgive me for butting in your conversation, but you do come across as if you have major issues HMB.
Why do you keep mentioning Britain? You dont like people having opinions that differ to yours.
You appear to have an issue with people/boxers that arent star struck with America and have been made to look foolish with your opinions previously.
You should really stop trolling

 

Where would fight take place?

 

I don't troll, and its childish of you to say I "looked foolish" previously just because I've accused you of the same thing

it's an observation I make when it stands out like a sore thumb, and I haven't been wrong yet

when I first said it to you, you didn't have your location under your name, and I remember you saying :

"what makes you think i'm british?"

which told me you aren't very good at reflecting on your posts.

I judge each person individually based on how they post, i'm sure you do the same :good

 

dont to me about talk about judging as your trolling has got silly.
I have exposed your agenda on several occasions and although you are now struggling to admit, have made you look foolish, notably when you got schooled when commenting on Sturm, but also with Calzaghe
