    he was on the cusp but lacked focus....the best Judah I saw was against Spinks in the second fight....determined and focused. He sure had the talent just wasnt a mentally strong guy, he is the poster boy of a frontrunner.....When he fought Mayweather he looked great but when he had to adjust he didnt....what a waste. Had he fought with the mentality he had in the Ward, Spinks fights he'd have been a star....to bad he was erratic like Wilfred Benitez, you never knew which Judah would show up

    NO

    Immense Skill / Talent

    But

    No Likeabillity Factor

    people may hate on floyd/naz type villains
    but they have a humor / likeable side

    zab about as interesting as watching paint dry

    Maybe if he had a better team and heart.

    But you cant teach someone to have heart

    No shame in what Zab achieved. A handful ever become world champions.

    Water reaches it's own level. He got as far as he could. All the excuses -- attitude, family strife, injuries, work ethic -- you name it -- have to be left at the door. The great ones surmount those things.

    I like Zab but he doesn't have all the qualities of a superstar. No what IF's he was always mentally weak.
