and doesn't get a fight with Margarito (as rumored), who's out there for him to fight? Champions- Berto has Forbes in the fall Clottey will duck him now that he inched by him PWill has some awful mandatory comming up Challengers- Cotto rematch is probably not going to happen Sugar Shane is busy until winter That leaves the poo poo platter of Collazo Cintron Quintana all of which would make Zab no money... Maybe it really IS time for Zab to go down to 140. He gives anyone there a tough time, and fights with Paulie, Hatton, or Witter, would make him just as much as the poo poo plater guys for sure.
Zab has already made more money than he deserves. If he actually won fights he wouldn't have to worry. Guys that won't pressure him like Collazo and Quintana would be better choices than Hatton but then again he falls asleep against other "boxer" types like he did against Spinks the first time so who knows? He never looks like he gives a **** about winning past about the third round anyway, so **** him. He's all skill and no substance. Let him knock out the slow third rate guys on FNFs. That seems to be the only place he can really shine.
Maybe it's really time he puts some heart in what he does,stop quiting mentally and trains harder,he is not 25 years old anymore he cant be losing these big fights one after another(Baldomir,Floyd,Cotto,Clottey)
Anyone who watched the Clotty fight and thinks that Zab showed no heart in that- is extremely bias against Zab. Judah haters are saying, "LOL, Zab was getting busted up!" Well, if that's true, how come Max and others gave him the 8th round? The final round BEFORE the cut. Zab was fighting back and showing heart. To say he wasn't, is just mean spirited.
Zab is never 100% into boxing,that is the main bad thing about him,he always takes opponents lightly.With the skills this kid had he should have been better than Floyd but who knows,he still has many fights in him
And that one wasn't even a big fight. It was a routine defence, prior to a mega-fight, that went tits-up.
He did inch by him- 86-85 isn't inching by? Also, you KNOW Clottey isn't going to be extending the hand for a rematch. Even though it was very competitive.
So who is Paul Williams' next mandatory opponent then? I would like him to fight Margarito but I guess that isn't going to happen.
Id like to know why Zabs IBC title win at 154 over Ryan "who" Davis is considered by the announcer as a World Championship. IBC isnt a credible belt and Davis is a bum.
