    How on earth could a referee let Zab continue vs Tsyzu

    Lol I noticed after the Floyd Cotto fight, Floyd bombarded the broadcast team but they all played knat huggers, not asking him the questions that count, like perhaps "so when are ya gonna fight Manny?" Just a question.

    In a way God is fair. Zab had incredible athleticism and power but not the intangibles.

    Well when you put it like that. I guess going 12 with a knockout king like Floyd with a coconut for a head is an achievement.

    Zab is way a better fighter than what people are willing to admit. And I don know why they dont want to admit it, because actually he seems a very nice guy apart from an exceptionally talented fighter.

    it's so funny how you guys think that floyd cant punch. As if you could back and make people like maidana o pacman to hesitate being feather fisted. But anyway, up to you.


    Is not enough the fact that Zab has been the only pro fighter in the world to make mayweather touch the canvas with anything different from his feet? the referee didnt count it, but Zab has been the only one to KD such a legendary fighter. Not maidana, no. Not castillo, no. Not corrales, no. Not hatton, no. Not mosley, no. Not márquez, no. Not Genaro, no. Not pacquiao, no. It was Zab who did it.

    And it took 5 rounds (where they 5? I dont remember exactly. 4? 6?) of hard adjustments one after another and another and another one.... until floyd (the most gifted boxing IQ we have ever seen) figured out the way to win. Floyd was going nuts, he couldnt find the way to win (until he did, obviouly), but it was hard as F for him to decode Zab's boxing.

    Zab is a hell of a fighter. Could he have been better? have a better career? sure. But it doesnt make him a worse fighter. He was talented as hell.

    he was a good fighter, but nothing about him is legendary

    I’m not the biggest Floyd fan, but that’s an absolutely insane position. More talented in what way? He might be more explosive, is that what you mean by talent?

    What would have it changed? It wouldn’t have been a legit loss (like RJJ against Griffen). Would Floyd be less concerned about his zero, would he have challenged himself more? Would his fans still have been as sycophantic without that magical zero? Interesting counterfactual Floyd…

    It’s even funnier that I read none of this.

    what's actually funny is that I didnt write it for you to read it. I wrote it so that others can read it, your comment was stupid and I didnt want anyone to be misled by a stupid comment. I dont even know who are you, tbh. And I dont care.

    You cared enough to tell me how stupid I am. Thanks. But the reality is, Baldomir beat Zab and exposed him for what he really was. A front running bully. He’s not a legend in any way.

    He would of got knocked out Stiff by Tszyu if the ref let it happen. He won R1 but as soon as Tszyu knocked Zab fell flat on his back and his legs started moving around weird
