    Zab Judah is a great boxer.

    Andrew Golota comes to mind. Someone will probably say John Ruiz.

    I'll go with Jameel McCline.

    Ruiz is in the mix. Zab had loads of talent and was exciting.

    im amazed that zab is the best / worse boxer ever...

    any other boxer that has lost or disapointed as much as he has would have faded into bolivan lol

    zab will forever get good fights no matter how bad he does

    Yep, at least Judah has some sort of credential to milk. Golota getting 20 title shots is a joke.

    Omar Sheika is a candidate as well.

    Lou DelValle used to get a lot of inexplicable title shots as well. Not sure if he's still active or what, though.

    On one hand Tyson cleaned out everyone around him and unified. On the other hand if everything in his life had stayed stable he probably shatters Marciano's record and goes down as the greatest Heavyweight ever.

    Edit: So yes, Zab had lots of upside, but despite Tyson doing what he did, he could have done far more. Zab would always be second best to guys like Mayweather, even on his best night. Whereas anyone in history could be hard pressed against Tyson at his best... especially if he developed and matured while staying focused.
