Judah's victories since 02/05/05 when he beat Spinks are against D level opponents. Judah refuses to fight even a C level fighter because he knows he can lose to them, he would rather look bad vs the best around and claim he is on their level by winning a few rounds. hell I can't blame him since B level fighters often give him fits. Its just funny to look at his record and see that he doesn't even have a victory vs a B level nor even a C level fighter since Cosme Rivera all the way back in early 05. Granted, when he isn't bailing out vs Mayweather with intentional fouls to avoid getting knocked out, or taking the easy way out by getting the Clottey fight stopped when he was getting his ass kicked, and still trying to imply he somehow got screwed from a cut that was from a punch.....he does show us how talented he is, early vs Cotto and Clottey..... but its bull**** this guy gets to have the top guys fight with him.....throw him in there with a B welter I hope he is forced to take on someone like that, he doesn't deserve another high profile fight ever again until he beats a few B level welters, which he may do or he may very well get his ass kicked to high heaven. Judah, your last victory over anybody with a PULSE was nearly FIVE YEARS AGO vs Cosme Rivera. Lets see you fight even a C LEVEL fighter for christs sake. somebody in the top 40 of the welters or junior welters if a guy loses a series of entertaining fights vs the best than maybe its ok if he keeps getting chances but this guy ****ed up the Mayweather fight with his bull**** and the Clottey fight where he effectively quit since he knew he was going to get smashed, like the Mayweather fight. fine. maybe that was the smart thing to do but im tired of him spoiling big events. i do give him props for the heart he showed vs cotto and he got screwed with those early low blows however no mas judah hopefully his hand is now forced to take on a hungry prospect or a new name he is high risk and low reward, he only has that name for a lesser name to build off of it will be interesting to see where he goes next in his career.
Good point. I can't think of many top level fighters who's mental flaws so obviously limited their succes more than Judah. The guy outboxed Mayweather for quite a few early rounds and shook Cotto up several times, but mentally was just incapable of building those successes into a win. Ultimately I think Tszyu destroyed his confidence with that humiliating KO and left him unable to reach the level his skills and athletic abilities seemed capable of taking him. Sad really, but thats boxing.
By the way I think he should have retired after the Cotto loss if not before. His fall from grace has been so protracted.
he wants either a super fight or he bides his time vs not B level, not C level, but D level fighters.....hopefully this time he has to face somebody with substance
