Zab Judah Has One of The Strongest Fan Bases...Why?

this and dude brings excrement

 

This is all true (except against Baldomir, I thought he won that fight), and it just never gets old. I still think there is one good run left in him.

 

He's an exciting fighter...many GREAT fighters like Larry Holmes or Bernard Hopkins had very limited fan bases for years and years...go figure.

 

I will ALWAYS root for Super Judah. Did it against Floyd, against Cotto, against Clottey, Tszyu, etc. He is always exciting as **** too.

I'll never forget his finishing of Wilfredo Negron when he was coming up, on the Tyson/Botha undercard. He was a ****ing beast at 140. Damn :bbb

 

The guy has a W over "The Newest Most Feared Man in Boxing (besides Cruz, Golovkin, Margarito, etc.)" Lucas Matthysse.

Speaks volumes.

 

Hopkins did NOT quit, he was injured against Robert Allen...see the rematch for more info.

 

Oh damn it's on youtube! Peep 5:20

Your posts are comical to say the least!

 

I think he was one of the most athletic fighters. Great handspeed, could knock people out, and he fights with emotion sometimes which you don't see with every fighter.

 

Clottey, Mayweather, Baldomir, Khan, Cotto, and not to mention he didn't win the Matthese fight was a robbery.

 

I don't give Hopkins grief for that.

I give him grief for talking all kinds of **** in the buildup to the Calzaghe fight about how much of a badass he was, the "I'll never lose to a White Boy" comment, and then he blatantly fakes a low blow and puts on a golden globes-level performance to buy himself recovery time and evade getting an exhaustion TKO at the hands of "Slappy White Boy" Joe Calzaghe. All while he's one of the dirtiest fighters in the game himself.

He jumped onto Dawson as well.

 

Zab Judah's awesome fanbase is a myth at this point. A lot of friends of mine were at two of his last cards, and there were only a handful of Judah fans there. Against Vernon Paris, the arena was literally a 15 minute bus ride from where he grew up, and the arena (which only holds 2,500 people, selling tickets at about $35 a pop) was 2/3 empty. Against Mabuza, they managed to fill up the floor so it looked pretty full on TV, but the stadium seating was damn near empty. He still draws better than most guys in his position due to charisma, connection with the fighter (since he's really active on social networking) and name recognition, but he's not really a draw in the traditional sense anymore. From what I've seen lately, he's not much of a better draw in NYC than Gennady Golovkin (literally about 500 people in the arena got up and left the minute his last fight was over).
