Judah-Hatton?

[SorceryatCaesar]

Zab told espn he's going down to 140 and wants to fight Hatton.

[Phil]

it'll be funny if Zab lands another big fight, he's only a stepping stone at this stage

[leftylee]

Let him. I actually wanna see him fight Hatton coz everyone on here thinks Zab would stop Ricky. So make the fight. Then when Ricky smashes him Zab is shot

[Markusdarkus]

Why are people crying out for the fight? Hatton has the likes of Pacquaio and Diaz should he beat Paulie.

[ono]

Zab would probably give Hatton a shit load of problem.....for a bit. The Hatton would most likely smash him to bits. I think Judah's arse would go to be honest.

[CFH]

There's no reason for Hatton to take this fight. Too much risk and zero reward. Judah would stop him IMO. Hatton has historically had problems with southpaws, his chin at this point has questions surrounding it, Judah has speed, power, and is a great counter-puncher; he'd time Hatton with those uppercuts all day.

I think Hatton is the better fighter, but styles make fights /cliche

Lee Zab Judah would give Ricky Hatton alot of problems Ricky Hatton has had bad problems with Southpaws ever since he was an Amateur and i think Zab Judah's power would be more of a factor at 140 and so would his speed its not of the question to think Zab Judah could win infact i would have the fight 50/50 depending on how Zab Judah makes the weight.

Zab's always a tricky one. First off, he doesn't deserve to fight Hatton. Ricky lost to the p4p best and rebounded with a win. Zab's only been able to beat up nobodies in the past few years.

But Zab would be competitive in at least the first 3rd of the fight. Then it would depend on how often Ricky could get to him and how often. Zab made it very hard for Cotto and Ricky is nowhere on Cotto's level. Zab was still fighting back against Clottey, but that guy is top ten greatest in the chin department. Ricky's got huge chinks in the armor and I could see a Zab uppercut giving him visions of turnbuckles dancing in his head. Zab's body looked different against Clottey, obviously he has the ability to refocus in the training department- I don't think Judah will struggle too much making 140. He had killer power at 147 and we all have seen what a welterweight can do to Hatton.

Once again, this all depends on which Zab Judah decides to show up. If the guy who stepped in against Clottey comes in against Hatton, it's over in 7. Hatton will try to smother him and get a mouthful of fist up to the elbow. And Mayweather Sr. can only retool so much. Ricky can become a little better defensively but even that would work against him. Ricky's best defense is staying in your face and throwing. Changing that against an elite-type fighter is dangerous.

[RozzySean]

Zab should move down. LWW is his natural weight, anyway. At 140, Zab can grab a belt an make some noise, at 147 he's just a stepping stone.

[SorceryatCaesar]

Judah was at 143 for Clottey.

[boozeboxer]

Judah could unify the division at 140. If you don't believe me, ask Sal.

[killersheep]

Personally I would love to see this fight. I know everyone want Hatton/PAC or Hatton/Diaz. And those would also be great fights. But people forget How good Judah was at 140. Whenever you bring up Judah at 140 though, people only remember the Judah dance courtesy of Kostya Tszyu. But Judah was amazing at 140 speed, power, slickness and absolutely the arch-nemisis of Hatton's style.

This would be a great fight and I would gladly fork over PPV dollars to see it.

[SweetPea]

Zab would have a very good chance of beating Hatton. If Ricky beats Paulie, decides to stay at 140, and can't get a fight with Pacquiao, then I'd like to see him fight Zab more than the other 140 pounders out there.

Also, if Paulie upsets Hatton, a Paulie vs. Zab fight would be interesting. Both guys are from Brooklyn, would be a good fight in either NYC or Atlantic City.

[Tysonbruno]

I would pick Judah for this his power and being southpaw would come through Hatton would be coming forward more than likely leading with his face and he walk on shot after shot Judah inside 8 rounds

[rjj tszyu]

Zab at 140 was world class but he can't expect to just get handed a fight with Hatton straight away. He needs to beat a couple of good opponents such as Witter (again) and Bradley then get his shot at the MAN when he has built his career back up. If he can return to the quality he was before Tszyu KO'd him I see it being a hard fight to call but at the moment I only see Hatton winning, that is until Zab shows me something that might change my mind.
