Keith Thurman vs Zab Judah in the works...

Zab can really crack!
He even dropped Floyd

 

Careful you’re gonna get pimp’ed

 

If this rumour is true Im done with Thurman.

 

thurman gonna take over, doe.

 

Have them fight on the undercard of a main event between Spence and Porter in December.

They can do a more meaningful doubleheader afterwards: In May, Thurman would take on the winner of Spence-Porter while the loser of Spence Porter can fight Garcia as the co-main.

These are clearly the 4 best WW's currently on the PBC roster so it makes sense for them to all fight each other. the only guy i can think of that can throw a wrench into those plans would be Mikey Garcia if he decides to actually fight Spence.

 

Judah is still hanging around???

...having apparently fought twice (in off-the-grid non-televisesd bouts) since the Malignaggi loss five years ago?

I think I vaguely remember hearing about those stunted comeback attempts but since he never went anywhere further with it either time is sort of still feels like there's a five year rind of inactivity on him. And, one could argue that at such a low competition level he may as well have been on the shelf between Malignaggi and now, if he's going to jump straight in with a Thurman now, in his forties...

 

That's not any better than Judah tbh
Maybe even worse. Pathetic fight from One time if true and I've defended him of the ducking claims in the past.

 

give mikey garcia a shot. its as big a fight as he can make that is still winnable. let mikey take your place in the ww derby or send him back to 135 when you put him in his place. if you lose, blame it on inactivity and do the rematch or move on as if it never happened... till you meet him again. its a good fight for both guys that will make them rich and both have ready made excuses for losing such a fight.

 

Yeah, it would be hard to excuse this match-up as Thurman's first announced fight after sixteen months on the shelf as the undefeated "man" at welter if this were, say, 2014 and this was a 36 year old Judah was coming directly off the Malignaggi loss. Now, though...? Super uncool move, if true.

 

If he somehow bottles lightning twice and ends up scoring a hail-Mary left uppercut to bag the come-from-behind upset KO (a`la the Kaizer Mabuza fight) - does Judah then get to call out the Mayweather vs. Pacquiao II winner and have a realistic chance at having that huge payday (and long overdue dream match for the fans, either the PBF rematch everybody wanted for most of the back half of the previous decade, or the ultimate clash of powerful and ultra-fast handed but vulnerable elite welter southpaws) come to fruition? I think he kinda would deserve that clout, no? As laughably, absurdly improbable as that sounds, if that chain of events did come to pass: 1. Thurman cherry-picking Judah, 2. a shock upset KO, and 3. a business savvy Zab using his nationally televised post-victory interview to look directly into the camera and demand to be next in line for his more illustrious peers once they settle their business - it would be hard to argue with that zero-to-hero redemption story. Casuals would eat it up. The PPV would sell itself.

 

Baby mama problems.

 

Wow! Can't wait.

 

No way this fight gets sanctioned
