Zab Judah vs Ricky Hatton (2006)

Post by EdwardRevolver1993 »

Let's imagine this fight takes place instead of Judah-Mayweather and Collazo-Hatton, in spring of 2006.

Who wins?

Judah.

Hatton never really showed up at Welterweight. Judah was the Champion there.

It'd have been a good fight though.

Yeah, there's a reason why Hatton decided to go back down to 140 soon after Collazo fight. That said, Collazo is a tough costumer. And Ricky accounted himself well against him.

Meanwhile, Judah is Judah. Yes, while creating the match-up, I was meaning Judah from the Mayweather fight. Zab was on point there. And I think Judah in that form could've beaten Hatton. Do I think it's guaranteed? No.

Maybe (just maybe) Hatton would've gotten Judah into a high-paced firefight and Zab would've lost the plot. As happened often with him...
