How do you guys feel about him and his future? Personally I think if he drops is hang arounds, rededicate himself, moves back down the 135, and moves to Mayweather's gym he could be one of the top fighters in boxing today.
Another Zab Judah. Lacks the dedication, attitude and heart to be great. The talent is there, but the other requirements are all missing.
Dedication and attitude yes, heart I don't agree. I think he showed Heart in the Maidana fight. He took some bombs and got chin checked a few times yet he never gave up.
spot on with the zab comparison. Seems, for whatever reason he becomes gun shy in fights where the other guy hits him... In fights where the guys slow and predictable he'l do well not so much against aggressive wild guys. Was a beast at 35 too but clearly was just too big guys there, when the weight became fair he's shown he's more than beatable... He's just going to continue to cash in now as much as he can, I don't even think he cares much for boxing..
I agree with the comparison, he'd probably end up being another Judan or even Kevin Johnson, nothing more than a harmless tester for the up and comers, who goes the distance, poses no threat and won't get hurt or KO'd himself
I think that he was over-rated when he was coming up as the next big thing, he really isn't busy enough with the power he has to beat the top guys. That said, he takes the tough fights and his douche-bag persona is kind of amusing, so I like to see him fight. The kind of guy who people pay to see get beat, and that can make you some money. Maybe not billions, but some decent money
He needs to move back down to 140 fire his whole team stop the partying and get serious about boxing. I think he has realized that he can't get by anymore with just raw talent.
Yes, upon reflection, heart is not the right word. But definitely missing the dedication and attitude.
Yeah I was going to say that, Judah is a former undisputed Welterweight champion, 2x IBF junior welterweight champion and WBO junior welterweight champion.
