zab has the talent but he has a punk mentality! end of! i dont have his ability but i have a gigantic heart and never say die spirit and a graceful loser,those are qualities zab will never have,i was the midlands champion of england yes its domestic but i fought for british title and lost by 1 point so im proud of my achievements have you even been in a ring with gloves laced up?????????????????????? doubt it!
Comical at best. I am surprised to see an Amateur boxer having such lack of respect for an accomplished professional boxer. gtfo of here. You think you got heart at the amateur level fight? Its needed when you're starting off in the amateurs. How about having heart to compete at a professional level? How about the heart to put everything else in your life aside by investing 100% of your mind body and spirit to be a professional boxer? Are you questioning Zab Judah's heart? You are an amateur, and he is a pro who went in a brutal fight with Miguel Cotto and is now facing Sugar Shane Mosley, He also took on Floyd Mayweather and Spinks and Kostya Tszyu. STOP ****ING DREAMING KID
Have you ever fought in a world championship fight? Have you ever won a world championship? Have you ever been a multiple division champ? Have you ever been an undisputed champ? Have you ever received a 7 figure payday for one of your fights? Have you ever gotten in the ring with the planet's best fighter? I doubt you were ever good enough to even work the mitts at one of Zab's training camps. Look you should be proud of your achievements, and I don't like to talk trash about fighters. I respect the sport as well as its combatants. However, you have shown Zab no professional courtesy in this thread. As someone who has stepped in that squared circle, I don't see how you could demeen another pro fighter like you have in this thread;especially one that has accomplished more in defeat than you ever did on your best day as a pro.
Get off the Zab train if you dont want to contribute something positive. And Zab making Cory Spinks do the crackhead lean was priceless. Zab was the most focused in that fight then he has ever been. He did not get discouraged and kept gunning for the KO.
I liked Judah when he was a prospect. But he turned out to be such a douchebag. *Spinks clearly won the first Judah fight.
I must admit i lost a lot respect for Zab after the Koysta fight. Over time he really grew on me. He showed heart and lot of determination during his fight with Cotto and when that fight ended i really did feel sad for him. You could see that lose hurt him. He fights anyone anytime and usually gives his fans a good performance (if only more boxers were like that). I think he is an asset to boxing. Good on ya Zab!
I understand what rochsolloch is talking about the punk attitude. He does go over board with all the hype and talk, but you would think you would learn the first time. I am not calling Zab a punk and I feel Rochsolloch opinion is much more personal. Again, he has skills and heart, but no chin. I believe the beating he took from Cotto is permanent and it will carry over to the Mosley fight. He is a strong puncher, but Mosley can take a punch and will Zab be able to go the whole twelve rounds? Mosley will. All the respect for winning the titles, but at WW he has not been able to shine as everyone expected. Yes, he won the titles from a light punching champion that I believe dropped Zab in the first fight. I just hope if he takes another beating like the last one that his family persuades him to call it a career. Heart can get you hurt or killed.
Don't care too much for him personally. Not my type of people. Not someone it's easy to root for. I prefer fighters w/ character, not fighters who are caricatures.
I can't think of a fighter thats had more excuses made on his behalf from his fans than Zab Judah. If anything - He's an underachiever - He had athletic gifts that his shitty attitude and ego didn't allow him to check and he's on his way from being an undisputed champ at 147 to a gatekeeper. Should have had a much better career, didn't. A waste in my opinion.
