    Judah was fast BUT Shane Mosley was even faster, his hand speed in the 90s was incredible.

    I personally think he was faster then flood which was obvious, I think he may be faster then pac, that sneaky uppercut is sharp precise and quick when he threw combos it created a blurr on your screen.

    Besides the uppercut his one punch speed isnt very fast, it is but not fast as his combos, maybe putting to much behind it.

    I didnt think khan speed was very impressive nor his power but Pauli could just be tough as nails

    His hand speed was very, very quick.

    But he rarely put more than 2 or 3 punches together.

    I've never seen him fight anybody who he hasn't had faster hands than.

    Agree. Zab has some of the fastest hands in the business coupled with great power. He just never had the mental aspect of the game. On slipping punches, that lack of discipline bled over into conditioning. Zab can be elusive(slip) with the best of them. Problem is that his stamina fails him and he loses his ability to keep it up.

    Also a lot of people fail to mention that Zab has fought some seriously stiff competition during his career. ALL of his losses have either been against Class A opposition or fights where he was seriously undersized.

    well it might now be fair to say that moving to WW was a bad move. if he had more discipline, as now evident, he could have stayed at 140.

    :rofl:rofl:rofl:rofl well ya know with hindsight 140 could have seen him in some good matchups.

    rematches with tszyu and witter, fights with hatton and gatti, fights with urango and bradley, paulie malignaggi, cotto.

    im not saying he would have won all them fights, but at 140 he would have stood a better chance, plus could have really increased his legacy in terms of fights at a division.

    I think he only could have done more if he changed his team, aka his father. I am not one to hate on a man's father, but unfortunately his dad blessed him with his ability to fight, but cursed him with a hot head and suspect training methods. Check the whole Judah clan's stamina.

    He still could have starched half that list, but guys like Cotto, Tszyu, and Bradley I don't see him beating those guys without moving on from his dad... Much like Mayweather did.

    Ah, what could have been...
