    Had he went with the right trainer. This kid would have been like PAC in terms of combination stamina and a more well rounded fighter. You could see it in his early days.

    In his last fight if he started earlier he would have put danny out but he seems to have gone gun shy

    Judahs problem is his mentality. Nothing to do with trainer.


    But I agree he would of probably stopped Danny a few years ago,

    The 8th round really highlights issues he's dealt with his entire career.

    No, never. Doesnt have to intangible qualities needed: a heart. Even in his most courageous fight (the garcia fight), he just wouldnt throw the left hand during all of the middle rounds. He has always had fear in fights, and always will, though to differing degrees.

    Plus he has a fairly weak chin. Not the worst, but bad enough to have been knocked down 10 times in his career (fact).

    Rds 5 to 8 danny was trying to walk zab down with his hands Low but zab just did not want to throw his left hand I beleave if zab had went abit earlier around the 6th and started to let his left hand go there was a chance judah could have caught him with a 1 punch knock out.
    It's a real shame cause I don't believe danny is a better fighter then zab.
    Even when zab had danny hurt he never pressed danny

    Physically gifted but his doesn't adjust very well. When things goes sour, he have no plan B.

    he could have been better if he had the discipline of a Mayweather or Bhop when he was younger but he never did. A bit of a wasted talent

    No way. Rj in his prime tho not the craftiest used his abilities to their true potential and knew his limit. Zab when he couldn't hurt a fighter always looked worried because he knew he would be in for a long night. Never had the patience, the wit, the survival instincts, or recuperative abilities to adapt to situations when the going got tough EXCEPT in the Lucas, Spinks, and Garcia fights. You have to give him his props there. It''s just that we're not accustomed to seeing him doing that. If he did that more often and did have a Plan B and think Ok, this isn't working then yes he could of gotten much farther. A great? Maybe yes, maybe no.

    Pay attention he said that Zab didn't have heart, even the Tszyu chicken dance was him trying to get up to fast, he got up against Matthysse and Cotto beat the **** out of him but he has no heart sure.
