    Zab ain't got it anymore,his pop is gone,and his speed is still good but nowhere near what it was.He is getting KO'd if he fights Pacquiao.

    Judah made a stupid move by going to 147 chasing the big name fights. He could always make 140. He hits much harder at 140 than he does at 147. I still don't think he has the mental toughness to beat someone that pressures you and will never amount to anything with his father as his trainer. Who can win a big fight when your corner only says "BAM BAM BAM BAM then do this BAM BAM BAM" really now. But Judahs dangerous the first 4 rounds and I surely will be cheering for him just to win a big fight at 140.

    If Pacman takes a fight with Zab Judah he is clearly ducking potential fights with Hatton, Mayweather and Cotto who are all fighters within his size.

    Zab is too shy on pulling the trigger now. He is almost twitchy in the ring.
    Pacquiao can take a shot, and Zab isnt the finisher he used to be. Once
    things turned against Zab he'd shut down into survival mode.

    Yes, I think Pac will dodge the storm in the early rounds if this fight is made. But I do think there is a real chance Zab could 'zap' Pac with a hard, fast shot during those rounds. Maybe not an enormous chance (of ending the fight), but still a chance.

    cause he went 1-1 with feather fisted Cory Spinks, who is hardly your prototypical WW.

    Agreed. In the first four rounds Zab can give anyone a run for their money but he doesn't have the mental fortitude to go beyond this. The guy is damaged goods post the Tszyu KO and even more so since the beatings he's taken lately.

    Cory Spinks can box. Not bad to lose to him.

    The question is, will Zab keep firing if he starts to cut, which has been a noticable trend in his past couple fights.

    Pac has so many options Zab isnt anywhere near the radar.

    Yeah he beat Spinks but what I'm saying is he could have maximized his potential at 140 and tried to clean out the division. He is better suited at 140 than he is at 147. Style wise Spinks was a beatable fighter for Judah but the other options at 147 for Judah do not look great. 140 is a better division for him

    I think Zab is good at 140 but cant beat Pacquaio. I think he could get with Hatton though.
