The opposite of Mayweather/Hatton. This time Hatton will look bad early on and slowly get to Judah as Judah breaks down.
if zab catches him clean he can stop him. if he can't then hatton's chester-molester style will get to him late
Don't get me wrong, I'm a Hatton fan...I admire his heart and his tenacious fighting style. With that said, however, Zab would really be too much if he brought his A-Game(which was always the question with him..much like Michael Moorer). Bottom Line: He's so quick and so elusive that it's hard for me to imagine a fight between these two where Zab doesn't 'touch' Ricky repeatedly round after round to the point where the fight is eventually stopped in the later rounds.
Not too many are beating the Hatton who fought Tszyu that night definately not Zab. I think Hatton couldnt even repeat how good he was that night either (sound stupid I know). Tszyu probably beats Hatton any other night, Ricky was just on pure adrenaline the whole fight.
Ricky Hatton bashing seem to be the in thing to do recently, but for me he is clearly a notch above Judah. Ricky's pressure and rough house tactics would be to much for the mentally fragile Judah. Judah may look good for 2-3 rds as Ricky struggles with speedy southpaw. However Ricky would start to grind him down and win. If it goes to the card the score would look closer, than the action due to the 10 pt must system but I think Ricky would edge it. But for my money Judah wouldn't last the distance and this ends in the 10th!
I wouldn't be surprised if half of Hatton's opponents went home and cried in the shower for a couple hours.
No tszyu just grew old that night hatton is still the same only now hes fighting out of england so theres no ref to help. ps zoo would beat floyd with ease in his prime:good
Zab would look untouchable until he took the first real hit, then he'd mentally crumble and lose. Just look at the Zab Tszyu fight. That would be the template for a Ricky Zab fight.
Zab in his prime would put Hatton to sleep in under 5 Rounds. Much too fast, and with too much pop in his punches.
