    Someone please tell me this isn't a bs rumor. Has anyone heard anything legit on this? Apparently Judah's crew would try to pay Mabuza step aside money.

    Either way, I don't see why this couldn't be a possibility. Guzman is a light welter now, and the IBF likes him.

    Well I figured I'd put a poll up for this one anyway.

    I feel Judah has a pretty good chance to hand Guzman his first loss finally, ecspecially since Judah would be the naturally bigger man.

    Judah UD12 Guzman.

    I guess its the battle of the irrelevant fighters at 140.

    Guzman would probably miss weight.

    Yea, the winner would have a "belt", but hopefully the winner of Bradley/Alexander would go for the ibf title so we would have a fighter that would almost have the division unified for once.

    Judah never fails to disappoint, but neither does Guzman, who probably doesn't make weight. I think you've found the one fight at 140 that nobody wants to watch.

    I truly doubt Judah can fight effectively at 140. I say they fight at 147, I do not think Guzman will have problem with that anyway.

    i dont see alexander challenging for this belt. what i see is kotelnik getting the belt and then trying again at one of the big 4

    I'd say Judah take it.. he should be able to walk through Guzmans punches and land some hard one of his own especially in the inside. I can see Guzman being on his bike the whole fight trying to just enough rounds to get a decision and i don't think it'll work agianst Zab

    Sorry but it's fake.

    If Zab does go through with the IBF fight then he has to fight #1 ranked Kaizer Mabuza, no exceptions.

    Why did the IBF strip Alexander? I thought they were quite good with unifications, they certainly give Wladmir plenty of time to arrange a fight with Haye.
