:roflatsch Judah just couldn't deal with the fact that Khan did everything he could do just better (minues the uppercut), against garcia, he fought a guy he could hit easier and could see his punches coming, I though Khan would win maybe stop him late and I thought Garcia wins decision, didnt think he'll KO judah like many. But really that garcia wasn't the garcia that turned up vs Mathysse and Khan, and that Khan that Beat Judah didnt turn up against Garcia, Non of the fighters I've talked about (barring Mathysse) has really shown any consistency Khan win = Excellent - maybe it wasn't the version that fought Cotto, but it was still a good Judah and Khan would have dominated him anytime, just style match up, Garcia win = Good
It says a lot about Judah's actual success that Mabuza can be considered his best win, considering he went onto lose something like 5 of his next 7 against pretty average opposition and then retired. Zab's famous for coming up short against good opposition, and I've never said Khan isn't good. He's just not as good as a lot try to make out on here, and considering Zabs form after the Khan fight you've got to say he was pretty close to end by that time himself. The Mabuza win was a big one for Zab because people before thought he was pretty much done before he got a 'decision' (but thats for another thread) against Matthysse, rather than Mabuza actually being any good. I'd also say that Cory Spinks circa 2005 would beat Mabuza circa 2011 so I'd probably say that was actually Zab's best win, which is 6 years removed from the Khan fight. As you said yourself you thought the best Judah you'd seen was the Tsyzu fight, that was a decade before Khan fought him. Completely agree with you on Zabs shortcomings, always looked like he could put together a big win but ended up either fading or doing something dumb, kind of like someone else we've been talking a lot about recently.
I was kind of including the mattesyse win too it was a decent string of results but I agree with what you say for the most part. Zab has a bad attitude
