    If Zab had a solid mental game he could have beaten floyd. Zab's hand speed and southpaw stance troubled floyd in the early part of the fight... he even got a legit KD but unfortunately the ref didn't call it. What a waste of talent Zab Judah is... :-(

    Roger Mayweather figured Zab out after about 4 rounds. Floyd adapted to Zab's speed by cornering him and cutting off the ring. That was all she wrote. Great fight really.

    Floyd beats Zab 10 out 10, although Zab really did trouble him early in the fight.

    it has nothing to do with mental game ... like philla said after the first 3-4 rounds floyd started bustin zab's ass and zab got discouraged..... you cant continue a solid game plan when someone is punching you in the face at will... floyd cut the distance between zab & himself so zab couldnt load up so much.... stay away from the highlights & watch the whole fight

    Floyd adjusted though... that's what makes him great. As for Zab damn! i almost thought he had floyd for the first 3 rounds.

    Zab does seem to break down and give up later in tough fights. He has always been a real good fighter. Southpaw counterpuncher with a lot of speed. I think under a better trainer he could have accomplished a lot more. Main Events was developing him really well, but he let the thug gangsta crap ruin his career when they broke up. He did give Mayweather fits early on, because he made Floyd lead, and Zab is a quick counterpuncher. Mayweather has a really good chin and he was able to walk through a lot of zabs power.

    I know the vid is a bit bias... but it did show that floyd's defense can be penetrated. One thing i observed also is that his workrate went down as he went up in weight.

    JMM is a badass mofo... floyd should not take him lightly.

    This is simple math. ZAb Judah first four rounds against Floyd, multiply that by 100 and you get Pac plus heart and unlimited stamina. More and more I think of it, Pac wins this fight.

    Lets see Floyd face 100 punches in rd 12. Only time I saw Pac tired was the 12th rd of JMM 2

    Floyd always start off slow and cautiously, just to figure out his opponent and when he's ready (usually second half of the fight), he turns it on a little.

    Floyd beats Zab's ass everytime! lol If people think this is some kind of blueprint(which I've heard more than once) they're wrong!:lol:

    I love that old line. "If Zab had the mentality he could beat Floyd"!

    Yeah, ****'n right!:lol:

    anyone's defense can be penetrated.... nobody is untouchable.....

    its a horrendous comparison .... zab & pacman fight nothing alike... zab is more of a thinker... manny just goes in and comes out

    Yeah I know Manny is dumb. Thats why he executed to near perfection against Hatton.

    Why dont you step out of your closet and pretend you love Williams, your riding your boy Floyd Joy to the hilt.

    Again PAc is a much greater fighter than Judah, he will not give up and he will not stop. Floyd better not start slow because if he thinks PAc is going to fade later on lol. And Hes crazy if he think Pac will stand squared in front of him like Judah. And yeah BTW Judahs jaw is borderline china. Id be surprised if Floyd hurts PAc, or for that matter JMM.

    I think JMM will bust floyd up in the early stage with his lethal combos and uppercuts.
