Thread: Judah to RETIRE Hatton

I think Ricky Hatton may well be a shot fighter. I reckon Zab Judah is angling for a fight in putting Matthew Hatton away.

Straight up, Judah lands the right hook at will, as Pacquiao gave him the blue print. Judah will be a Killer at 140. A Whole New Fighter for Hatton. Keep your guard up!!

IMO Zab still has a lot left in him.
Someone like Hatton is the perfect opponent for him.

Judah should win fairly easily. If he has his screwed on right that is.

I will hope for a shock as usual though. But I doubt it.

A focused Zab Judah takes Hatton or any other fighter in the world easy. Peoples' champ, still #1 P4P in the fans' hearts and thats all that counts. 2010 is Zab's year..

Judah should easily beat Matthew Hatton.

Honest I think Ricky is beaten by a lot of punchers now.

I've always maintained 140 was Judah's weight.

The point im setting up is, a matthew hatton fight leads into ricky fight quite nicely. ricky is not that comfortable with southpaws..etc

I'm not being rude or a douche or sarcastic, i'm only asking honestly.. Do you always just want to post about Hatton weakness's and negatives, or do you have other interests inside the boxing topic??

Sorry it's a just a serious question I was wondering..

This thread is crazy. Judah is one of the most overrated fighters I've seen. When was his last good performance? How anyone thinks he's above B-level is beyond me.

The problem is when has Zab Judah ever been focused 100 percent ? against top opposition that is ? i think this is a dangerous fight for Ricky Hatton, he has struggled against Southpaw's since he was an Amateur. And Zab Judah has got pop and speed, he can also damage Ricky Hatton badly as he's coming in.

I think it all boils down to can Ricky Hatton get out of the first 4 rounds, if he can he wins i think he can still be aggressive enough. To make Zab Judah go into a shell and pull it out over 12 rounds.

I was saying Zab would spark Hatton before the Pac fight.

That Left Uppercut is a thing of Beauty.

Judah could still find a way to screw it up. He is the man though.

I actually have a hard time picking this fight. Before the Pacquiao loss, I would've comfortably said Hatton. I was surprised how bad Hatton looked against a southpaw. I know Collazo caused him a problem, but Pacquiao showed that againt the style of Ricky coming in, the right hook will work from the southpaw stance everytime.

Judah doesnt have a great left cross in Hattons favour. Lets say Hatton covers the right hook, as it was the biggest weakness exposed from the southpa stance, he's now fighting a touch pensive, as has to blunt that attack. Judah at 140 WAS a completely different fighter.

It's close.......given that Judah is a southpaw, and Hatton psychologically isnt the same, i'd honestly have to say Judah, and i wouldnt be surprised if he knocks him out in England, and seems like a killer at 140 again.

I would've never have picked this, but after Pacquiao, certain realities were exposed. Dont forget, at 140, when Judah had good power and even better speed, he was able to get away more with his offensive flurries that just didnt hold up against the bigger guys to actually beat them. It would be somewhat ironic if it is Judah who puts the final nail in the coffin, given there histories. It looks like an option for Ricky given the Matthew Hatton fight, and Judah is one of the biggest names Hatton can actually look to make a fight against at 140. The better man will win.

I disagree on the last part if Zab Judah is gonna win, its gonna be early because he gets weaker as the fight goes on.

The point is, thats all well and good at 147, but at 140 he is a whole new fighter. Judah does fade late, but id have to say he has more boxing skill than Hatton, and the size to do better at 140, than against guys like Cotto and Clottey. He is better early Judah. How embarrassing would it be if he's beaten at 2am in England by Judah!!
