Nope. Garcia is too pedestrian. Zab on the other hand was one of the most precocious talents ever at 140. And for good reason.
Yes. Fukin hell.. Zab fought like a man in that fight. Honestly I have always thought Zab has the all the talent in the world but it is his weak mentality what always betrays him... And he is in the end of his road so I thought he would crumble once again against Garcia. If Zab retires he can be damn proud what he actually archieved in boxing. Champ at two weight classes, undisputed welterweight champion and multiple world champ.
What do you mean you can't believe people questioned his heart? People questioned his heart because he proved time and time again that he has no heart. He finally showed some. That's like Shaq hitting the game winning free throw, and people saying "I can't believe people say Shaq can't shoot free throws."
No!! Zabs a great fighter always has been he just lacks that little bit of mental toughness to see him through fights.I believe the Zab Judah that fought Floyd Mayweather or Miguel Cotto would have made **** of Danny Garcia and probably stopped him.Zab had Danny in trouble a couple of times in the fight and he was just missing that little extra something to push the finish.People seem to forget he's 35 years old with a 50+ fight record,great performance by him never the less. Big up Zab
He's lost eight times now. He was something special before he met Tszyu and was never quite the same afterwards. His psyche took a hit from which he never really recovered. The so-called "prime" Judah had already lost to Kostya, had established a reputation as an unfocused headcase, and had developed a tendency to fade after six rounds. At least this older Zab was able to finish strong.
For all the **** Judah gets about being mentally weak, which I agree he has shown in the past, I was very impressed. Didnt fold as predicted and came back to win the championship rounds, rattling Garcia in the process.
No, saying Zab Judah has no heart is not the same as saying Shaq can't shoot free throws. Shaq not being able to shoot free throws is a fact. We all know this. That's not to say that some people might have questioned Zab's heart in past fights. In the Khan fight he got hurt by a brutal body shot that sent him down. was he faking? i don't know, it's not something you can measure like a Shaq free throw. Bernard Hopkins has been known to be a drama queen and acting to buy time, like against Calzaghe or Roy Jones II where he went down and got plenty of time to recover. But people don't go around saying Hopkins has a glass heart or no heart like people were saying about Zab before this fight.
Finally showed inner fortitude when the going got tough - Nuff respect to Judah and Garcia for an entertaining fight.
I thought he would have a meltdown in the ring, to be honest. he exceeded my expectations of how he would perform last night.
Although Judah is past his prime, I thought this was one of the most impressive performances of his career. From round 4 on he seemed to be heading to a stoppage lose, but managed to stay upright and even win some of the later rounds.
