    This fight is very likely, with all the other elites at 140 occupied, Zab accepting any named fight he can get and Campbell wanting to make a statement in the division...why not.

    Its an intriquing matchup that I dont think either fighter would dominate, Zab Judah cant fight for 12 full rounds and Campbell doesnt have that one shot power to break Judah apart.

    Who wins and why?

    Campbell by decision or late round accumilation. Zab will look good for only the first few rounds. Zab really isn't what he use to be.

    Campbell UD or late stoppage.Judah can't go 12 anymore even with his dad yelling in indian language in the corner.

    Nate DOES have that one shot power if he can get to your chin, and Zab wouldn't be able to mentally stay in the fight the whole 12 rounds I don't think. As always, Zab has better natural talent but Nate would wear him down and probably bring him down late.

    TKO or decission I'll pick ZAB.

    Zab was athletic and very competitive when he was at 140.

    All of Zab's recent losses have been against the elite WW's (Floyd, Cotto, Tszyu, Clottey).

    He ain't no ****in bum, regardless of how much you guys want to write him off. He will punish a lot of fools at 140. The last loss was to Clottey, where he went in at about 146 while Clottey weighed almost 20 more than that by the time they fought. Zab will be where he belongs at 140 and will be able to beat up some people.

    He's really a good trainer away from turning his career around late.

    You're basing this only from the Funeka fight Im assuming, Funeka has been put on ***** street before from featherfisted fighters.
    I dont see this one shot power at all from all of Cambpbell's recent fights. Campbell is a lightweight accumalation fighter and Zab has only broke down against elite welterweights and Tszyu.

    :yep

    . . . I don't think a moving up fighter will beat Zab at 140 . . . he lost to established 140 pounders.

    If we are talking now I still say Zab could do it...I think he can knockout Nate relatively early if he doesnt weaken by moving down. Pretty interesting matchup actually.

    Prime Zab destroys the smaller and inconsistent Nate.

    Ill take Campbell UD. Judah looked horrible in his last fight absolutely horrible. He was fighting Ernest Johnson a guy who was obviously fed to him so he could knock him out and he just couldnt put him away. Johnson didn't even want to be in the fight he looked down right scared at some points and Judah still couldn't put him away. Looked very bad earning himself the decision.
