being stopped once doesn't mean u had a bad chin. If thats true so as judah we all remember his chicken dance against KT, who by the way didn't dent ricky.
Back then...I'd favor Judah, but right now I'd pick Hatton to brake him down. Zab is great in the early rounds, but once it gets to the 5th he starts slowing down and Hatton would bring the heat.
Judah dislikes pressure, isn't the strongest mentally and is hardly the most resilient fighter in the world. Hatton brings plenty of pressure and dishes it out legally and illegally to the head and body all night. Not ideal for Zab. Hatton's more than quick enough to catch up with him and close him down, as he showed against Floyd. Judah isn't anywhere near as defensively savvy, though, so he'd be taking a lot more punishment than PBF did. It'd be a matter of time This talk of Hatton being blown out is nonsense too. Against Floyd he took a beating and got caught with a peach of a shot that knocked him down late on. Similarly, Collazo only hurt him right at the end of a hard fight. Hatton never looked in trouble against either of them early on and I suspect he'd hold up against Judah long enough for his pressure to tell first.
Yes, and the thing is Floyd wasn't even throwing a lot of punches at him to cause him to slow down. It's just that I don't think Zab has it in him mentally to last against someone like Hatton, he seems afraid of getting tired and doesn't seem to want to push his limits. I know he fought his ass off in the Cotto fight, and landed about 2 spectacular shots, after that it was all Cottos. Zab's legs were pretty much gone 2 rounds before the TKO occurred. Sure, I can see Zab landing a bomb on Rick, but it wouldn't be the end of it. I Think Ricky can take a great shot. I don't understand why people would criticize his chin based on that TKO lost to Floyd. That TKO lost has a lot to do with exhaustion, try chasing someone for 10 rounds while getting tag with hard shots and you'll understand how he was feeling. Zab maybe the wrong example to use, but against Cotto he could've taken the first shot which Cotto floored him with if he weren't so exhausted, because that was the same shot he's taken all night, he was already tired, his legs were gone , any decent shot would've had the same effect as Haymaker.
The arrogance of them.Hatton got beat by Mayweather the best p4p in the world.Now they have him as a nobody.The guy retired Kosta Tzu. Hatton and Judah would be some fight i go for Ricky KO in the 8th.
Zab doesnt like pressure, Hatton is the master of pressure but can Hatton have enough power to hurt Judah? if Judah can handle his power then Hatton would be beat.
its funny the guy was suposed to get knocked out by guys like Tszyu and Castillo and now that hes lost to the best fighter of the past 10 years or so he's all of a sudden a nobody with no defence who has a bad chin? serioustly now screw you guys. most of you have NO idea what your talking about:deal
I thought it was evident a long time ago his defense wasn't great, unless you think defending with your face is good defense. I think he does well not to put his chin too high up, but when he gets caught you see he feels it even Collazo gave him real trouble, and he doesn't seem to like being hurt in the body, Urango really out the hurt on Hatton in the latter rounds working on his body,.
