    I kinda feel sorry for Zab, I know he can be a bit of an idiot, but I don't think that the 'attitude' is what Zab is all about. Who is Zab behind closed doors, alone with his thoughts? I think Zab's biggest problem is that he believed the hype, not in too disimilair a fashion to Mike Tyson. Under the tutelege of Cus, Mike was an animal in the ring, but he also displayed a humbe, caring and possibly vunerable side, and his focus was unwaivering, his whole life was boxing. Once the thugs started hanging on to him, he lost his focus, and he was always under pressure to live up to the hype, I feel that this is the case with Zab.

    Take a look at Zab and his hangers on, even his old man, there is no focus there, its all to hectic. To the hangers on, Zab is like a walking, talking 140lb nipple, and the hangers on all want some 'Supa' milk. Can you imagine trying to focus for a fight with all the baggage Zab carries with him? I'd go as far to suggest that this is the reason that Zab has lost most of his career defining fights. Zab needs to go and shack up in the mountains with the monks, and he needs to have a long chat with himself.

    I feel that if Zab had dumped his old man and got a trainer who could keep him on a short leash, we would possibly be talking about the p4p #1. In terms of pure ability, how does he compare to Floyd? Well, many would say he's quicker, he has quicker reflexes, he's got more pop than Floyd, he's also a master body puncher.

    Zab is one trainer short of being the best fighter of his generation imho.

    Judah very good but i'm pretty certain that Tszyu KO'd him in two so surely he is the best four round fighter ever?
