    Zab Judah would be (blank) if he had the determination and work ethic of someone like Bernard Hopkins

    to me if zab had the work ethic and determination of someone like b-hop he wouldve been one of the greatest light welter and welterweights of all time and wouldve preobably beaten money gayweather in their fight handily

    Would be an ATG if he had more mental toughness and had a better trainer.

    He would have recently finished the Mayweather Trilogy. Would have lost 2 out of 3, but we would be talking about this series for years to come.

    How bout we do the opposite and give someone who does have a good work ethic and is mature Zab's Speed and Power, that way someone who deserved it could have a great career, not a petulant little ***** like Judah.

    "that way someone who deserved it could have a great career, not a petulant little ***** like Judah. "

    Anyone who has watched Zab in recent fights wouldn't talk about him like this if he was thinking clearly. He didn't have a great career, but he has given us everything in his recent fights. No fighter with guts like that deserves this kind of insult.

    I disagree his antics after the Tszyu fight and during the Mayweather fight just ruined any chance of him being remembered as a decent guy.

    He is a talented fighter, his courage is unappreciated often but he is a dick.

    charlottes a good city to live just outside of and commute in the taxes inside the county and city are pretty outrageous for the area and there are better neighborhoods and schools in the surrounding counties unless you send the kids to private schools. but i like it here the weather is moderate in the winter it gets cold but not much snow at all maybe every couple of years you get a little spring and fall are really nice and summer can get hot as hell but its really muggy and sticky. over all i like it theres a few smaller boxing events during the year but if you wanna see something big youd better budget in a trip to either alantic city or vegas nothing big as far as boxing happens anywhere close to here.

    same thing but He disapoints me every time. He needs to surround himself with a REAL team and not his father as the trainer. Overall he is just mentally too weak, although he did show me a lot vs cotto

    If if was a fifth...


    It is weird how people talk about Zab's problems not knowing Zab.

    What makes you think that he worked less than Hopkins ?

    It's not just his dedication. He may have taken guys like Pineda and Baldomir but I'm sure he trained hard and was in great physical condition in big fights against the likes of Mayweather, Tszyu, Cotto, etc..

    He has a problem re-adjusting when his opponent has adjusted to him. His chin isn't too great, neither is his focus. No one likes getting hit, but some guys get less affected by taking leather, in terms of their gameplans being altered. Judah goes into a shell when he's taking leather and looks for one big shot rather than to set up an offense the right way.
