What if: Hatton vs. Judah

Would have a lot to do with how much Zab has left after the beating he took from Cotto. If that fight didn't ruin him, I'd give him a hell of a shot in this fight. Ricky don't like southpaws, and doesn't handle welterweight power well.

 

It would follow the same pattern as most Judah fights i would think. Even though Zab would start very well and promise much i think Hatton would take control after about the 4th round and wear him down for a UD or possibly late TKO/KO. Judah really had the potential to be one of the best of this era, but the guy has serious mental issues lol.

 

God......!!!!!!!!!.................I was waiting for that........atsch ........... If Judah could keep his **** together he could have beat anyone but cant......His head & his arse go when it comes to it...........Hatton maurading pressure would be too much for Zab...........PLEASE stop referring to that ****ING CALLAZO fight !!!!!!.............He won it for ****s sake !!!.............A fight he didnt give himself adequate conditioning time for against an awkward fighter..............Jesus !!!

 

He's not similiar to Cotto, Hatton pressures in a different, rough housing way, he doesn't come in crouched like most swarmers do. Hatton's actually quite vulnerable to quick boxers, thus leaving Judah a chance to land his best.

Will Hatton take Judah's best?:think

 

Good point, Cotto and Hatton are quite different the only thing similar that stands out about them is their heart, determination and body punching dedication. It's obvious when watching them fight that Hatton goes at a faster pace while Cotto goes at a more conserved pace. I don't see how Cotto's fight with Judah would compare to one with Hatton. I would probably stick with Hatton but I would not count out Judah....he does have the power to starch Hatton and Hatton does not fair to well vs south paws and he has never faced a south paw with the power and speed of Judah. I hate comparing fights but when I think about the type of success a fighter like Magee had against Hatton at Hatton's best weight it scares me to think what Zab would have done with the same opportunity.
