    He has no choice, his career is in shambles right now he can't afford not take any of these fights.

    Only bc he is a fighter who can compete against the best even though he looses at the highest level. He still offers excitment, competitiveness and flash. He's Dangerous but given his track record he seems to be somewhat of a "GATEKEEPER" to the upper echlons of the peaks of boxing. He's got a good name, Decent record and he's a world class fighter.....bottom line...he's marketable.

    Definitley NOT minimum Risk! He is very dangerous but if you can get past the early storm your chances to win multiplies exponentially. If you go in with Zab thinking he's "minimum risk" is when he's most dangerous.

    I feel Zab should fight in Super Main Events as often as he can because he brings that extra element to the confrontations, some kind of flavour or spice that makes these very attractive prizefights and technical boxing contests. It has a lot to do with his craftiness and his ability but also with his temper and persona - Tszyu vs Judah, Spinks vs Judah, Mayweather vs Judah and Cotto vs Judah were all very entertaining promotions, build-ups and fights so even if he loses to Mosley, why wouldn't he box on against the best up-comers? Super Zab is a wacko but he's also very cool. Ferocious Fernando was put against Tito, Hoya, Mosley and Mayo for some reason.

    don't know, with his name, he could probably beat a bunch of lesser fighters and than get a title shot (sort of like shannon briggs altho its a bit different at the lower weights).

    Judah vs Mosley will probably be about 5 times better than DLH vs Mayweather 2 but get about 1/10 of the buys.

    Boxing fans are to harsh on fighters who lose if this was mma Zab would be considered elite and I consider him an elite boxer! Besides He's only lost one more big fight than mosley.

    In his last half dozen fights, ONE has ended in a KO.

    Before that, it was 4 in the last 8.

    Not exactly a Julian Jackson/Tommy Morrison/Mike Tyson-type "it usually ends in a KO" type of fighter.

    He's an attractive 'beatable' opponent who adds to the "Beat former World Champ" on their resume. I'll never expect him to win the big fight, but Judah's still got some entertainment value.

    I don't get it, the man IS WILLING to fight anyone without hesitating but gets criticized. Then you have those who talk but don't fight anyone and they also get criticized. What do you guys want? Also all this chin crap should stop
    by now, he was tko'd twice, rattled a couple of times and thats it, this is boxing

    Like it or not mate . . . Zab is a former two divisional champ, he is an exciting fighter and still a very dangerous fighter despite his loses . . . and most importantly he has name and a large fan base.
