    After he gets KO'd this weekend, should Zab retire? He will have lost his 4th straight big fight, meaning he is not at the top level. But he seems a step above the ESPN level. If Zab chooses the ESPN route, he will be fighting for 50K rather than millions. Maybe he should just call it a day?

    True. 147 has loads of talent. Zab might even be able to beat Berto. But does he want to be a gatekeeper?

    I think Clottey wears Judah down late in the fight tomorrow night and stops him. Even if this does happen, I'd still like to see Zab in with Andre Berto or Kermit Cintron.

    Those are great supporting fights to a more top tier main event on HBO.

    After that, who knows?

    Where he goes after he loses - depends on how he looks in the lost - which I believe he will lose.

    There's always a place for Zab. No one does the chicken dance quite like him.

    he'd still be fighting the top guys..he's that popular and marketable despite the loses. I think clottey would win him by points and possibly KO him but after that look for him to still get many title shots

    I actually have a strange suspicion that Judah is going to win, which means, he will almost certainly lose!

    :lol:

    Will still remain a decent enough challenge for anyone moving up, at least for the first 3 rounds.

    Unification with AM or a rematch with Cotto if he wins.

    If he loses I'd love to see a Zab vs Cintron matchup.

    Zab will get some more big fights win or lose tomorrow.

    Clottey will probably beat him but he'll be back.

    First of all, Zab hasn't lost yet and so it would be fair to consider what would Joshua do in case he loses... But let's consider the first scenario, Zab skipped a major fight for some idiotic accident and gets payed to fight for a ww title... It's very simple, Zab loses this one and nobody wants to fight him anymore but upcoming welters which is clearly an indication that he should retire.
