    Being that he's never gonna be considered elite at 147lbs again. He's never gonna land a title fight, and probably will never land a big fight again at 147lbs. It would be very hard if not impossible for him to make a comeback in the division. He's already 30 yrs old, and he's in the tougest division. He could drop down to 140lbs to compete, but even then he wouldn't get alot of credit if he were to be elite cause thats what everyone would expect out of him. Retirement should definetely be an option. What do you guys think he should do? Please vote!

    Drop to 140 if he ever wants to compete with the top dogs in his division.

    He's a gatekeeper at this point in time.

    Unfortunately he is - a gatekeeper for the absolute top of 47 mind.

    He can dominate the poor 140 division though. hatton and miginaggi are not A level fighters are even smaller than Zab.

    I honestly feel he should retire. Even if the fight would have went the full 12, he would've lost by UD. He cant fight with the welters because he's not good enough mentally. He's no Mayweather. If he continues fighting at 147, he's just gonna make ppl's resume look good.

    Hang it up. His prime days are over and he doesn't deserve another chance at a world title anymore.

    if he can make 140 then definitely 140, he'll just be a gatekeeper at 147. Margo or berto might have him to defend their titles

    If Judah can make 140, that would be a much more logical place for him at this time.

    I thought Zab looked great and was holding his own, Clottey looked like he was looking to impose his will and was having success, still the cut was a disapointment and a rematch may be a good thing. I thoght Zab represented himself well and the cut may have been from as clash then the uppercut ripped it more...Zab was looking good even though I had him behind a bit

    He needs to retire. The 140lb division is so poor, and ppl are gonna just give him **** about dropping down instead of being able to fight with the elite fighters.

    Would like to see him work his way back to 140 and eventually fighting a guy like Hatton.
