    Bradley stands a chance because of his relentlessness but his lack of pop and questionable chin could lead to a big KO by Zab if he can't make him respect him.

    other than Bradley prime Judah whups them all.

    I'll take him over Matthyssé but that's it. People would go on about his advantages in speed, power and "talent" and then be surprised when someone like Bradley beats him.

    Zab's a much better fighter on paper than he ever was in the ring.

    Khan is nothing special at all.

    Cory Spinks was a better fighter than him.

    Judah is a good example of someone who got overrated, or whose expectations were too high, because of speed. Khan is an even better example.

    Mickey Ward is a respectable 'B leveler' or even a low A level if you want to be generous. Judah, in his prime and fighting up to his potential, destroyed Ward. Witter tasted his power and all but jumped out of the ring.

    You're selling Zab short. He was inconsistent as hell, like a James Toney, but when you got the whole enchilada from him he was a formidable mother****er.

    I would say he was a good bit better than they are now.

    Lowe does good work with amatuers, but his advice for Pavlik was shocking :-(

    I'm curious to see if Garcia can remind Pavlik that he has more than two punches in his arsenal.

    If he dumped his father as a trainer and moved West?

    He would be a BEAST!

    I'm sorry to say BE but those aren't "women" that he hangs about with, not in the traditional sense. But what the hey, why not humor him.

    Prime Zab Judah is still Zab Judah and so could win or lose any of those fights depending on the day of the week.

    Why? your assuming none of those guys would be able to break Zab's heart, prime or not it will alway be a weakness, i'd favour Bradley to win a UD over Zab, i think Khan's heart, grit and determination would make the fight at the very least a 50:50, id favour Zab over Peterson stylistically.
