    I liked Zab in the early days but his demeanour and **** poor attitude have made me despise him now.I hate wasted (exceptional) talent.

    Athletically he was incredible. He just never quite had all the mental intangibles. He had some but not the kind that keeps a champ on top.

    I really don't think there was a more athletic fighter in last 25 years.

    No, he never had a Chin nor Heart therefore relegating him to the garbage bin of China Chinned Hype Jobs who had "potential". Between his Glass Jaw, Glass Body, and Glass Heart, Judah is constructed with more Glass than was used in the building of the World Trade Center. He is a Chinless disgrace to Boxing and the only interest I have in seeing him fight is seeing his Glass Jaw shattered in brutal fashion.

    Watch zab in his early fights at 140 that zab was special. Able to throw 950 punches a fight no stamina issues. And had hunger that is the zab I wanted to fight mayweather. Zab was done before spinks but such was his talent that he was able to compete with spinks skill wise

    Could have been great

    I never thought he was stand-out in terms of skill.

    Weaknesses make the fighter who they are

    Zab has had a really good career regardless of his attitude

    He was a BK fighter. Athletic with a menacing aura. When a man was there to fight? He couldn't really stay focused to do what he needed to.

    Considering the sport of Boxing? Zab was arguably a star. Only one level below the upper echelon. I don't think any professional fighter would be disappointed with his achievements considering how often Zab is mentioned in Boxing.

    Zab will always be one of my favorites. Talented but flawed.

    I thought that he was more athletic and exciting than Mayweather, just not as intelligent or as good defensively. He was one fight away from being a superstar, a fight he almost one. He had Tszyu in trouble but his immaturity and showboating cost him the fight.
