    Zab would be a great sparring partner for Hatton.

    I do. I mean who the hell is he and what has he done to deserve the shot? All he did was lose to all the top fighters he fought.

    Hatton would destroy Judah but would be a good name on the CV.

    Judah could easily outbox Hatton. You see how easily Floyd cruised by him, Judah is an excelent boxer. Granted he has focus issues, and a somewhat suspect chin (although it appears to be ok recently) - Hatton just wouldn't be able to hit him... well without wrestling of course.

    Focus issues, stamina issues, chin issues, desire issues, toughness issues...yeah other than that Judah has a hell of an advantage on Hatton.

    Aside from the KT knock out, what leads you to beleive he has chin issues? In fact, you could make the case that his chin is TOUGHER than Ricky Hatton's, considering KT is a more powerful puncher than Floyd Mayweather, who knocked Hatton senseless.

    The only thing really holding Judah back is his will to win, and honestly, even with zero desire he's still more of a threat than Hatton.

    Judah is fast, strong, slick and technicly sound. Hatton is..... Hatoon is...... Hatton is tough? I guess that's his only attribute. All Judah has to do (and I know it's hard for him to do) is show up and box and he'd dispose of this chump eassily.

    He was wobbled by Carlos Baldomir twice, knocked down by Miguel Cotto, Joshua Clottey had Judah's legs double taking. Lets not forget the Judah dance from Tsyu.

    TBH I don't think his fundamentals are all that good, he's very fast and hits very hard but he's an early rounds fighter, people say "he lacks focus" but really he's just not an adaptable fighter, he starts well, the opponent adjusts, Zab runs out of ideas and stops doing anything and everyone says "lacks focus"

    That's a great choice from Hatton to spar with. Zab has some serious speed for a few rounds and very good power, nothing like Pacquiao of course but kind of close.

    Judah would be the ideal sparring partner for Hatton for this fight. I hope he can get him.

    Zab would be a great sparring partner, his speed and power would be great prep for Hatton.

    "Wobbled" by Carlos Baldomir, but never went down.

    Knocked Down by Miguel Cotto is hardly a sign of a suspect Chin.

    Never down in the Clotty fight.

    The chicken Dance was 8 years ago, the only time he's truley been down and out.

    Look I'm not saying he can take a shot from Tyson, but lets be real here, Hatton was taken down and out by Mayweather, who's less of a puncher than all three of the names you just dropped.


    He definetley is relient on his speed, a one-trick-pony in that regard, but I think even with that limitation he is twqice the fundemental fighter that Ricky Hatton is. He's still a step above in almost every regard other than "heart" and "toughness". Get the right ref in there (one who makes fighters box, not wrestle) and Judah can dispose of him rather easily by beating him to the punch, and picking him off fromt he outside. Lets not forget how hard of a time HAtton had with Collazo (another slick, fast South Paw)
