    Zab ****s up under pressure, we know this. However, Clottey is not really a pressure fighter, isn't a powerpuncher and fights in spurts so he's not very consistant. Judah's got better handspeed and definitely better punching power.

    What do you think?

    No. Clottey i think is actually a pretty good fighter and would give any of the champions problems. Judah is not on that level.

    Judah doesnt know how to beat high level opponets unless they run themselves to exhaustion.

    Judah has a good shot.... I think this could end up being a close fight... That's if Judah keeps his mind right...

    I'm pretty sure about a year or so back on BTalk Judah was saying he beat the **** out of Clottey in sparring. I'ma have dig it up to refresh my memory. I think Clottey responded to Zab's claims too.

    Clottey is definitely not a high level fighter, just a common contenders.

    However, Judah is shot now and this will be a tough fight for him.

    Judah UD

    Probably a pretty good thing for Judah- He avoids what was probably going to be a loss with Mosley, and parlays it into a belt. Puts him right back in the mix of things at WW.

    At this point, I would say no. Judah hasn't been the same really since 2005. Clottey is a very good fighter who would give Judah a hard time.

    Judah UD, people seem to think Clottey is so good since he beat Margo for four rounds. Then got whoop the rest of the fight. Another thing both fighters hands were hurt in that fight

    They both get tired. I'd have to lean towards Clottey here though as he is known to be more prepared and defensive-minded. Clottey doesn't hit particularly hard though so Judah would be allowed to take *some* risks.

    I'm hoping there was a pun intended here. Zab's as big a headcase as ever but there's zero evidence he's deteriorated physically.

    Wow. Now Judah isn't on Clottey's level. Tell me, what are some of Clottey's big wins that lead you to this conclusion? What great skills does he bring to the table?

    You're absolutely correct, Zab did in fact say that on BTalk. Clottey is in for some trouble come August 2nd.
