not really, he's at WW for the first time and this guy was tall rangy and a southpaw...
Styles make fights really, nobody thought that he would of beaten Tyszu either.
Fighting 147's in general will make his life harder due to size. He definitely should be fighting 140. You're gonna get your chance to back up what you said soon enough. He's gonna get his shot at mayweather. I don't see any of those fighters being any better than he is at 140... especially Zab. lol. And I really like Zab.
your wrong then, cuz collazo was left handed, zab is left handed, xzab hits harder has quicker hands quicker feet AND better tactic then collazzo
Scratch that. I don't count DHL. That would be bad. DHL would stomp cotto and mayweather anyway so that's not saying much. No way DHL fights at 140 though. It would be ridiculous for Floyd or Hatton to fight DHL at 147 or above. I'd like to see Floyd do it, but he'd run away from any chance of that happening. Ricky would actually try.
True Zab is faster and hits MUCH harder, but he better end it early, cause I don't see him having that kind of output from round 5 on.
Cotto is not in ODLHs league either ;)Quote:

Please stop all the bullshit this guy looked like a club fighter tonight, no technique whatsoever. Reminds me of Hamed except Hamed had devastating power.
Hatton has no business at 147lbs. He was rocked in the 12th by a boxer who is not at all known for his power. He should really stick to 140lbs as I just don't see him hanging with the likes of Mayweather, DLH, Maragartio...
I think Collazo had point when he said Hatton didn't do enough to win the fight. I had the fight a draw but regardless, Hatton really has no business at 147lbs.
I agree wtih you for once... if Zab came in focused he could beat anybody except Mayweather at 147 and lower...Quote:

First of all I take my hat, if i had one, off to Luis Collazo. Before the fight and after the 1st round knockdown I thought he was just another hand picked fighter for Hatton, but the way he turned it round and in my opinion won the fight was commendable. I'm not a Ricky fan in the slightest, but one thing I did want to see from this fight was how would Ricky cope with a true welterweight compared to the puffed up lightweights he's fought most of his career and lets be honest he failed miserably. If Collazo was a true power hitter at this weight then Ricky would have been out of there. IMO Floyd Mayweather(who's one of the most boring fighters ive watched recently), Zab Judah, Antonio Margarito, Arturo Gatti(or Baldomir),Junior Witter, who said all along he would knock Ricky out and possibly a few others including Collazo himself if he engaged Ricky earlier in the fight have the capabilities to take him out. Ricky went to show America what he was all about IMO all he showed was that he's easily beatable. I'll be disappointed if it is Urkal in Ricky's next fight as Urkal isnt a known power puncher either.
I agree with you totally..and if he fought Collazo again Collazo would KO Hatton......He might get bigger is size but that doesn't mean his chin will.....Quote:

YOu guys are all talking very stupid...
Didnt we say dont judge mayweather by the first 4 rounds against judah???
And you judge hatton for fighting a guy thats naturally bigger then any fighter that Mayweather EVER has fought....
Mayweather would have just as hard a time wit this guy as Hatton had believe me....
Thats because Mayweather adapted and took control of the fight.
Hatton did the same thing over and over again and payed for it and was exposed and lost and there's the difference ;)

Im English and am honest enough to admit that Hatton is a shit boxer...(No jab,No Footwork and worst of all For a fighter of his brawling style the thing he needs to do to maximise the way he fights
is lateral (side to side) movement which was on holiday earlier.
Go check Tysons Fights... When he demolished way bigger (allbeit ageing,past it heavies).
the Lateral movement, leverage and head movement is so dynamic and powerfull it's unreal.
Hatton just fought back and fourth in a straight line tonight and got hit way too much.
And yeah a PBF or a DLH would toy with him if he went at them the same way.
he needs another dimension/strategy/plan b (whatever) to his gameplan to even have a chance against these boys.
BUT i think he can only fight one way.
