Zab Judah: "Micky Ward was my Hardest Fight, not Mayweather"

Mickey Ward was always game, aggressive and could throw liver shots from hell. One tough dude.

 

Not Kostya Tszyu?

Judah is a waste of talent. He is just jealous because Mayweather is what he was supposed to be.

 

Is someone really a waste of talent if they’ve been undisputed

 

exactly this. he did great anyway he just wasnt king of the elites. alot of this 'waste of talent' nonsense actually had very good careers or simply they werent as talented as people make out.

 

He could have been much more. Its not the kind of thing I am going to dispute, but he had some eye-catching talent.

 

Judah's hardest fights were probably against Clottey , Cotto, & Matthysee .

 

Typical of a boxer to say a guy they beat was their hardest fight. Or the guy that punched him the hardest was someone that didn't KO them. I know that a grueling fight can be considered a hard fight even if you win, but was it really harder than Clottey? Cotto?. Ehh, I don't know. I can see it being harder than Kostya, cause he was KO'd fast

 

zab was getting brutalized against floyd before he decided to snatch the crown jewels, and it was all one-way traffic.
i think zab was heading for a TKO loss in that fight before that happened.
if floyd wasn't his hardest fight, i bet it was the one that demoralised him the most.

 

Believable.

he said he cracked his ribs.
He had to endure a crap load of pain & he said he wanted to quit asked his pops to throw in the towel.

his pops said no & made him finish & he ended up winning.

sounds like a hard fight to me.

 

Great interview i really enjoyed that.Thanks for posting

 

Exactly.. Most of them have a hard time saying the guy who beat them was the best. Hearns said Benitez was the best overall.. Although he said Hagler was strongest and Roldan punched the hardest, which I almost agree. But I would say Barkley and Leonard as the hardest punchers. But he would know. He said they got their punches in, but Roldan hit the hardest. And Nunn that also.. So who knows..

 

Mickey Ward literally destroyed his body to the point of making Zab want to quit, that's what I'd deem a very difficult fight. Body shots are more painful than any head shot. One makes you feel like you've been stabbed, one is like you're suddenly drunk without knowing why.

 

Pac's most difficult fight of his career is one where he won 11 or maybe even all 12 rounds.
