Always liked Zab. He got Floyd's attention for sure. Guy had a lot of talent, but never could get that mindset thing down. Wish his old man wasn't such a control freak all these years. $65 is well worth it.
Wasn't he supposed to have fought on some tiny club show last year? Obviously it didn't pan out as his last bout listed is the loss to Malignaggi, but what happened there? Missed weight? Injury?
Why is everyone jealous of Americans? Is it really that bad everywhere else? We have it good here, we get to make a lot of money and spend it on big wasteful ****. Plus, eat as much as we want, when we want and throw the leftovers in the trash. Pretty much live like kings. I love it. What's not to like?
Here's the deal - his chin isn't awful. It just isn't great, either. Having stepped into the ring over fifty times, his only knockdowns were at the hands of: Matthysse, Garcia, Mabuza, Cotto, Spinks, Tszyu, Millett, Bergman - and Khan from a body shot. Okay, nine opponents decking you seems like a lot, until you place that in context of being spread over, again, fifty bouts, with twenty-one being for world titles, and with the breadth of quality faced there. If his chin were truly awful he would have sustained more than just three stoppage defeats taking on the guys he did. He wouldn't have gone the distance with Matthysse or Garcia, or made the eleventh with Cotto. Micky Ward never dropped him. Junior Witter never dropped him. Joshua Clottey stunned but never dropped him. DeMarcus Corley never dropped him. Vernon Paris never dropped him. If his chin were awful, there would have been at least one instance somewhere in there. He doesn't have the sort of elite punch resistance where he can afford mistakes in the ring - and, unfortunately, he also lacks the ring IQ needed to never make those critical mistakes. Hence as many knockdowns ruled against him as there are. But his chin isn't terrible, or else he would have been KTFO - as in out cold - a whole bunch of times having fought everybody he fought.
the guy is a legend period is he the greatest or on those levels? nope could he give just about anyone a hard night at the office? yes sir the guy was / is a damn good fighter
yeah he should indeed call it a night and accept what he's done and be happy and proud he should be!!! he's done way more than anyone ever thought he would after the tsyzu fight
