    Rivera brings another hard hitting prospect down to earth.

    Is it time to recognise just how hard Zab Judah can hit?

    Hell yeah..thats one thing about him that was not overrated.that left hand..The Judah Uppercut...is no joke..I mean that is about of Patent of punch that you will see..Nobody throws that punch like him..speed and power...Judah...has a whole lot of snap..and you can see the power in it...You seen bertos punches having some fling but he was trying too hard and it did not come natural...he looked pathetic going for the knocout from round 1..at least judah looked good doing it..cause he does the same thing.

    There is 2 things that you can't argue with about Judah. He has as devastating a left hand as I have ever seen and he has amazing speed. Don;t forget he was also the only one able to finish off Corry spinks.

    It's all the other **** that's wrong with him that kept him from being great.

    He's the only guy to stop Rivera.

    Judah has all the tools to be ATG, he's just missing some of the intangibles.

    Everybody knows Zab can bang that isnt a seceret, I mean look at how he also handed Rangel his ass, the same guy who went to war with Emanuel Augustus.
    The problem with Zab is what happens to him when he is pressured, when he is getting hit back, he melts down.

    I've always said he was a hell of a KO puncher.. speed+timing+accuracy = a hell of a shot.

    What I don't get are all these clowns who defend Berto's shaky jaw and then bash Cotto as being suspect, when he was stunned by Judah's perfect left uppercut a few times but shook it off, when Rivera was blasted out in 3 rounds, and Rivera has a pretty solid chin IMO.

    Berto doesn't though, he'll be KOed at the top tier.

    Berto hits harder than Judah.

    He just had trouble catching that mother ****er flush.

    Judah is also a ****in southpaw.

    There are many different variables to consider.

    Berto would have been more successful if he broke Rivera down first.

    Judah doesn't hit THAT hard. His speed allows him to get in shots that other people wouldn't land as well.

    Judah does NOT hit harder than Berto...but however Judah's greater speed and timing will allow him to land more unseen shots, which are the KO shots...more power doesn't always mean better puncher...

    Speed is power. Zan can hit! Rivera is a good fighter, fringe of world class maybe, but Zab is true World class and that showed when they fought.
