    He should rematch Collazo. Although any of them would do really.

    Why does Judah deserve another title shot? :bart

    Collazo. Judah should stick with his plan of fighting at 140, Berto would outweigh him huge come fight night at 147. Why did HBO not like the idea of Judah vs. Campbell and they suggest Zab for Berto, makes no sense to me.

    how in the hell does Zab keep getting title shots? Has anyone else ever had so many title shots after losing all his big fights?

    yea, I like zab and all but he needs to take his ass back down 140, beating ernest johnson shouldn't get you a shot at the WW belt. Ideally it would be great for Berto to face Mosley but it's not happening so I'd be content with him facing Collazo or Quintana.

    Zab keeps getting title shots because he doesn't argue about money, doesn't argue about when the fight will happen, doesn't turn down a fight and is a generally easy win for younger fighters after round 4. It's why guys like Ruiz get title shots repeatedly.

    At the same time though, Judah certainly needs to work his way back into things (and isn't he campaigning at 140?)

    Urango is great at 140 (and could probably make 147 easy) but why? What would be the benefit of fighting a JWW and face the potential public backlash?

    Collazo in a rematch would be nice but apparently HBO said a no no.

    I'll say face Quintana and prove the Collazo fight was an abberation.

    Mosley would be the first choice but that fight won't happen in May. Collazo and Quintana would be my next picks and both would be good choices. I do not want to see it be Judah he has worn out his welcome until he wins a meaningful fight or two. I bet Urango gets the shot and I don't mind that. While he wouldn't be my first choice I do think he will make for an entertaining fight with Berto. I think its a nice style match up. Berto would be a solid favorite but a Urango upset wouldn't be a huge shock.
