Zab Judahs opposition Vs Mayweathers.....

Judah could have been great and he almost beat Floyd had he not faded so badly. I think Judah will never make it into the elite but he will always be a great fighter and we will always be guessing.

1) Had he fought Tszu with respect rather than being a jackass what might have happened?
2) Had he had a plan B to fight a come-forward Floyd what might have happened?
3) Had he not gotten punched in the balls twice by Cotto (one of the best body punchers in the world) what might have happened?

 

How did Judah ALMOST beat Floyd? He won a couple of early rounds, until Floyd found a strategy to deal with his speed and power (which is what Zab tried to use to win the fight, that is ALL), and after that it was all Floyd. Floyd was close to knocking Zab out when the fight was interrupted really...

You say if Zab had a Plan B for Floyd he could have won. Well I disagree. Zab's Plan A used his only advantages (speed and power). If he tried to do anything else with Floyd he would have still got beat.

Also in regards to the Tszyu fight, I don't think it has much to do with respect. Zab did very well the first round, got caught the second round... and then GOT UP. That was his mistake. It looked to me like Zab wasn't really hurt, just had his equilibrium jacked up which made him go down. If Zab had gotten up to his knee, waited until 8 then got up slowly and let the ref examine him.. he probably would have been OKAY. But instead even though I'm sure he's been told what to do in these situations), he just springs back up and........ well you know.

 

Judah is an extremely natural talented boxer. You have a point about his aggressiveness vs. Mayweather.

Judah told in chat with fans immidiately after Spinks rematch that he wanted DLH, but not Shane Nosely! Because Nosely avoided him, he missed 140lbs division to avoid him, not to face DLH sooner, but to avoid Great Zab!

Now Zab has nothing but his name, no titles, no even status of big prospect, so he accepts to fight Mosely.

 

I always crack up when I hear "Look at the first roung, Zab did well." Do you hear yourself. It's the first round! He got smacked down at the second and he couldn't get back up! There is no argument, case closed! If the ref let Zab continue to fight being as incoherent as he was it would be criminal. Zab didn't respect Tszu as a puncher and got nailed for it. Floyd completely respected DLH as a puncher and won the fight. See the difference? If you put Floyd's brain in Judah's body with all of Judah's natural talent you would have the perfect ATG fighter.

 

Uh, thats nice and all, but I guess you didn't really read what I said and just assumed all I said was "Zab won the first round!"

Nothing I said tried to change the fact that Zab lost the fight. But if you can't tell from watching that fight that Zab had could have done MUCH better in that fight than he did, you don't know ****.

 

Then why start this tread then? It's not really saying too much when you admittingly have limited knowledge in a division in which Mayweather had half of his title defenses.

 

yeah, Judah's a beast.... :good
