    Too balsy, Welterweights of today are too big for him. The man literally doesn't cut at all, it's madness. He could probably make 135 if he wanted to cut like Williams or Clottey. Judah has to at least fight at 140, it's almost impossible for him to hurt these bigger guys. I'm still amazed he knocked out Spinks.

    Are you kidding? How many times did Zab defend any title? Mosley did his lightwweight reign with 8 defences all by KO beforemoving up and beating Oscar De La Hoya in his prime two weight divisions higher.

    judah won't be remembered as 'brave'.

    he'll be remembered as an extremely talented fighter who lacked direction, focus and discipline.

    awesome natural talent - but it's almost like he thought he won the lotto before the numbers were drawn.

    The thing with him is he likes to take the best available fight, but you know he would lose.

    I never gave him a chance against the named fighters he faced in his several fights since he lost to Baldomir.

    the ting about judah is he didnø't take the best available fight until he got the tszyu fight.

    he always looked way too good for the hacks he was fightng before then.

    but judah was brought up on poor opposition.

    I'd give him props for stepping up his comp since then, but his way too erratic to win those fights and build a solid career, which was what expected of him in the first place, given his talent.

    To be fair he was just a pup and up & coming.

    He took on a resurgent Micky Ward, Darryl Tyson and I think Wilfredo Negron on his way up.

    Beat Bergman for the title, who is no mug. And brutalized Millet and beat a equally as young Witter in his early reign.
    Pretty sure Vester was somehow a mandatory when he fought him but that was basically just a fight to drum up hype for the Tszyu fight.

    Judah and other journeymen fight whoever, whenever, because they are looking for a payday and a place to lay down.

    Shane is the man on top, making all the money, yet he risks it unneccessarily for the sake of his boxing legacy.

    That's why he gets his props.
