Ricky Hatton vs. Juan Diaz @ 140. What are your thoughts?

[CFH]

I would like to see Hatton/Judah, all but one of Judah's losses were are 147. I think style wise it would make for a very entertaining fight and one that is winnable by both parties.

As a back up to that I would like to see Hatton/PAC there is enough
money there and it doesn't matter if PAC wins or loses against ODLH
the fight will still have legitimacy.

As a third option I would slide Diaz into the mix, if Hatton has slid skill wise at all from his last fight I would pick Diaz to actually outhustle Hatton.

Behind that Witter or Bradley, cause why not?

I think Judah would stop Hatton within 6 rounds.

As for the Diaz fight, Campbell hurt him to the body more than once, Katsidis managed to slow Diaz down a bit (albiet while taking a beating in the process) once he applied a dedicated body attack. Hatton is/was a murderous body puncher. Based on that alone I would lean towards Hatton.

That's the rub though if Judah doesn't finish Hatton in 6 all of a sudden it's competitive.

Yeah. I do think that Judah would finish him quickly though. Hatton's defense is very leaking, and all his leaping and rushing in without jabbing would lead to him getting nailed by one of Judah's uppercuts or straight lefts, and I don't think Hatton would take them well.

And lets not forget Ricky Hatton's trouble with Southpaw's ever since he was an Amateur.

Now that I think about it, Diaz - Judah would be a compelling match up...

For the longest time I said Hatton would beat Judah the way almost everybody beats Judah, if you can take his shots and keep pressuring he cracks but after the PBF fight and especially the Lazcano fight I think I'd go Zab by stoppage too. Hatton's chin looks a bit cracked to me.
