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.
