Well firstly Judah already has one advantage over Hatton. And thats being southpaw, Hatton has struggled badly with southpaws ever since he was an amateur, i can see Judah dropping Hatton in early going and wobbling him few times, but i see Hatton surviving early onslaught, then start to rough up Judah breaking him up, and stopping him in the 10th round with a left hook to the body.

Yeah I think I can agree with that. I previously thought Hatton would stop Judah really early due to Judah not being able to take presusre and being chinny but you're right,Hatton has problems with southpaws and handspeed.Judah's handspeed is on PBF's level imo and that would trouble Ricky.Zab probably has more pop at WW than Floyd too. It would be a good fight but,yeah,I'd for a late Hatton stoppage.

Im looking at Judah's left uppercut and im thinking; Hatton aint surviving that.

Thats just one punch of course. But thats all it takes.

Hatton's chin seems a bit iffy at 147.

Then again if Hatton survived the first four or five rounds Judah would inevitably fold under the pressure.

I don't know, maybe Hatton, in a fight that Judah would have won if only he'd been focused, hadn't been hit with low blows, had a trainer who did more than say bam bam, etc.

Hatton without doubt.
