    I was having this discussion recently with someone who strongly believes Mayweather was on his way to stopping Zab before Judah deliberately fouled him, and regularly read posts on here saying the same thing. I agree that Zab's fouling was without a doubt intentional. But I fully disagree that he would have been stopped if he hadn't done so. To those of who you say he would have been stopped, how can that be if there was only 10 seconds left in the round? Was Zab that badly hurt, or was Mayweather gonna stop him cold?

    This is completely impossible to tell. However, I can say that Mayweather started sitting on his punches in the 10th, you could even hear him grunting when he was throwing some of those punches. Who knows what would happpen. Maybe he would've stopped him in the 10th, maybe he stops him the 11th or the 12th.

    He says he was going to and that's how supposedly why Judah low blowed him. For some reason I think that shot wasn't on purpose, I thought Judah just didn't land where he was supposed to. If he did, whatever I don't care. The second shot was deliberate though, but sometimes a fighter can get in that stage where you aren't thinking right. Similar to Roy Jones DQ against Griffin, well kinda....it's that adrenaline rush. What came of the Judah/Mayweather fight was Mayweather not knocking out Judah as he hoped to, but he knocked out Ricky so he gets another KO on his record. I realized during/after that fight was Mayweather's biggest threat is speed. He may be fast but a fast/er fighter can connect with shots against him. Floyd said (trying to quote this, it's a bit inaccurate) "People think pressure is the way to beat me, but that's not the way". Maybe it's speed, or maybe there is no way.

    Neither. Maybe he would have, maybe he would not have.

    However, his odds of stopping Judah in the following two rounds would have been greatly increased without Judah getting such a long break, and with Floyd beginning to turn up the pressure.

    You think Judah's low-blow and subsequent rabbit punch was an accidental combination? I don't know what to say to this.

    Indeed it's obviously impossible to determine wether Judah was about to get KO'd, but i would like to point out this: about 2 seconds before the foul, Mayweather hit Judah with the exact same shot that he had knocked out another southpaw, Sharmba Mitchell with in his previous fight- the straight right hand right under the ribcage.
    It seemed to me like Judah almost doubled over at that point.
    Of course, you could also ask another question: what the hell does it matter anyway? Mayweather beat him up and got the win.
    Damn, i feel kinda stupid wasting my time on this post now.

    Zab was looking for a way out he knew he was about to go so he fouled to get either disqualified or to buy time.

    I think he would of. Zab cheated to not be stopped by his rival. He wanted to at least make it all 12 rounds.
