Judah's a hell of a lot more talented than Hatton.
I semi-agree with that. Zab is more gifted in the speed department, reactions etc, but whats the point in having talent if you don't train well, have any focus, or strength. Hatton has the right genetics to be what he is, i.e musclar endurance, strength, so you could call that talent, plus he trains harder than anyone. Does zab do 30 mins straight, hitting a bag for a round constantly, all power combos, sprint to other side of gym, jump over a four foot beam for a round, sprint to bag etc. with no rest or anything of comparison? Hatton was born to train, Judah was born to fail. If Zab worked as hard as Hatton or Floyd in the gym, had the dedication, focus and toughness, he could be as good or better. Zab gases in every fight, and never throws enough punches in a round ever.
Hatton didn't train so hard for Collazo apparently. And Judah is a better fighter than Hatton, maybe not consistently, but when each is at his best, Zab is better.
