Zab Judah vs. Ricky Hatton, who wins?

Hatton has such a sloppy, open defence, which makes him very vulnerable to counterpunches. Floyd decked him with a counter hook, Pac did the same, Lazcano hurt him with one, and Magee also dropped him with it. Judah has some pretty sharp, sneaky counters in the early rounds of the fight, and who knows what would happen if Hatton walked into one? However, if Hatton can get through the early rounds he'll wear Judah down with pressure and body shots until Judah is either stopped or finds a way to quit. It's a fight that feels like it could go either way to me, but the edge probably does go to Hatton, as he's shown much more toughness and heart than Judah, and his style is the sort of one that gives Judah trouble.

 

Pretty much. I can see why both sides avoided each other.

 

Ricky loved to eat leather in his prime Do you think Judah would miss. Hatton walking into a Hugh left hand. Judah would time him coming in with no head movement and land something that would aleast start have hatton in trouble he struggled with a southpaw at 147lbs was hurt in that fight. To many people that was Ricky's first loss. Judah hit alot harder then collazo

 

Zab Judah by tko rd 5

 

Hatton was deceptively quick, his feet are just as quick as Zabs. His natrual instinct to clinch would get him through the early rounds and tire Judah out IMO.

 

No shame in getting sparked by zab cotto at 140 would of been sparked as well

 

True, you're probably right. He had a VERY porous defence at times though, and like Outboxer said, he was vulnerable to a good left hand/counter shot as well... and for all his faults Zab has one hell of a counter left. Shame we never got to see it :-(

 

Hatton would make him fold in 4 rounds and take him out a few rounds later.

 

All day long

U really think hatton can just walk through that no fighter has ever in the 140lbs just walked through hand speed and power like zabs. Trust me he would get hattons undivided attention

 

Yeah lol, if you say so.

 

This fight could have been made. Not two happy about it.
So could the hatton witter fight

 

I go with Judah cause he stayed around and contended longer, way longer. Hatton had one big moment, WTF did he do to deserve comparison with Judah?

 

If they fought right now I'm thinking maybe Zab.

 

What's Judah done at LWW?

Micky Ward?
Mabuza?
Vernon Paris?

Hatton :

Kostya
JLC
Paulie M
Lineal Champ
Ring Champ

 

I hate to do it, but all three wins you mentioned can be picked apart...and rather easily.

Tszyu is the most legit of the three, but even there he was past it.

Castillo...dude, that **** wasn't JLC. The guy was WAY past it. Done in by a single body shot? Nah. That was an old shell of what used to be JLC.

Paulie M was at his worst run of form ever, with Buddy having ruined his style and depleted his self-confidence.
