Hatton coming back for one fight only

[Howlin Mad Missy]

Think people tend to forget that Marquez isn't even a 135 fighter, just went there to chase Pac. Diaz and old Casa were no where near elite at the time, but were considered great wins because he was fighting bigger men so late in his career.

IMO JMM is the most winnable fight out there for him which would give him actual kudos (though again skewed cos the guy is considerably smaller, yet fits right in with Hattons misunderstanding of the p4p system.). JMM did NOT carry his speed and power up the weight and would prob be munched by Cotto, as wopuld Hatton.

Correct.

Correct.

To be fair to JMM he jumped up 2weight classes to fight the greatest current p4p fighter in his absoloute prime.

Pac did it against a guy who wasnt even in the top 20 and whos best years were far beyond him.

Marquez realised from the 2ndround onwards he was out of his depth physically and chose to try and go the long way around beating floyd instead of going toe to toe with him and getting hurt by a natural 147pounder.

Despite beating diaz in 9 he struggled to physically impose himself that night also because once again unlike manny he was fighting a world class operator who had awesome punch power for a 135pounder and not....david diaz

Still i can see Hatton could be winnable against Marquez as long he's healthy to go at 140lbs where he's belong.

Marquez is not tested against a 135lbs above , how fool to jump 2 weight classes to fight unbeaten fighter like Floyd even he didnt even try 140lbs and he's hittable in 135 tho he's gutsy wins (Casa and J.Diaz).

Hatton could fight this Marquez for the last time.

Marquez also is in last hurrah he's 37. he's very hittable and some tendency you can see his skills are deteriorated when he's gaining weight or maybe on his age factor also.

Even if 140 is not his comfort zone, I could easily see Marquez winning it, Hatton resistance seems to have totally faded out and the fact that he has to cut so much weight so fast can just seriously annoy him and play its toll. Even though it might be competitive for a while, Marquez is a damn good counter puncher and HAtton has difficulties with that, once again, no good for his head.

I'd have Marquez favourite as well, but there isn't another remotely winnable fight out there for him without going ridicilously down the pecking order. His natural size would give him an advantage over JM that he simply wouldn't have against any noteworthy 140er.

HTH: Juan Diaz is an awsome power puncher, are you sure?

Hatton should take a top 20 guy but not a top 10 first to see how he copes with it. IF he doesn't get killed or punched too much, then he could think about a real farewell against something higher but it is stupid to risk anything more than that for the moment.

For those that are saying Marquez has no business at 140, please tell me who would beat him and why you think that?

I don't think he has no business there, someone listed the main names at 140 in another thread and it's a very weak division at the moment. Bradley's probably the guy, yet no stand out. Personally I'd think he'd struggle with the size of a Bradley and the power of an Urango, be interested in seeing him have a go though.
