Zab Judah (2001) x Ricky Hatton (2005)

Well if we multiply the 2 of them the end result = an overrated china chinned reject.

 

Hatton, because he has heart, something Judah lacks

 

china chinned? hatton got hit by bombs and never went down throughout his career, not bad considering he had no defence whatsoever, eventually his chin caved...just like Jones and hundreds of other fighters at the tail ends of their careers.

 

Would be a great fight. Hatton struggles with southpaws, and Judah struggles with pressure fighters.

 

Anytime i saw him he would get stunned and would clinch like hell after feeling power.

Then again i did start watching him from Collazo on.
Most annoying fighter to watch as he was basically a mini John Ruiz.

 

If Hatton comes out and competes(which he will), Judah will wilt and get stopped late.

 

by the time he fought callazo he was on the slide though, to be fair to hatton, he took a lot of punishment and was only ko'd by the very best even if stunned by other fighters. His chin gave way in the end but went through a lot of hard fights before that with no defence what-so-ever.

Judah was always an over-rated, if he was european he wouldnt even get a mention...ever

 

Fight will go pretty much the same way as Cotto - Judah

 

judah always has this impression that he always have a chance against everyone with all that speed and skill, but judah back then was just the same judah as now. Hatton fights rough and he will keep the pressure until judah does what he does

 

Hatton comin in face first would have problems early on when Zab catches him with that uppercut. If he could withstand the early rounds he could wear zab down.

 

Hatton was woeful against leftys and fighting inside would leave him open for Zabs uppercut. That said Zab could crack under pressure easy - it would have been a great fight in his prime hattons chin and stamina would have given him a chance - 60 -40 in favour of Zab

 

Can't see a way Judah wins, his reputation is based on Spinks and 3 rounds against Mayweather. As has been said, I think Hatton roughs him up.

 

My first thought but Hatton doesnt have the same chin as Cotto.
I would go with Judah.

 

Judah loses this just like he does when he faces fighters at this level. Hatton would wear him down much like Cotto did.

Judahs speed would trouble hatton early but Hatton would just take this fight to the inside.
