View Full Version : Floyd is a Fool if he Fights Zab?
What do you think? You guys know Im a huge Mayweather fan but this is flat out dumb. Alot of fans and media hate Floyd and think hes overrated but they were going to give him props for the Zab fight, however you still get the feeling that it wouldve been a few who question it as a good win.
Now you fast foward and Zab loses. Now to me this is a stupid fight for Floyd and a no win situation. Zab is a very dangerous fighter that if he brings his A game, could very well beat Floyd and if Floyd loses then everyone would rip him for losing to a guy who just lost to a average guy.
Then if Floyd wins, they will say "so what", Zab just lost to a average old guy.
The people who hate him will hate him even more now win or lose. I just feel that this is a no win situation for him. He should fight either Margarito, Hatton, or someone else but not Zab. The fight is dumb and dangerous. Also you can see Floyd thinking this is a very easy fight now and underestimating Zab and getting KO
DiegoFuego 01-17-2006, 12:31 AM this is retarded and pointless. if floyd wins, who cares? weak opponent. if he loses? HE LOST TO A GUY WHO LOST TO CARLOS BALDOMIR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
BadMagick 01-17-2006, 12:32 AM Pretty sure that the fight was contingent upon a Zab win, and is now off.
Mech. 01-17-2006, 12:39 AM Pretty sure that the fight was contingent upon a Zab win, and is now off.
Its been talked about as still being on,with a pay cut to zab.
Pretty much a lose-lose situation for floyd.But i disgree with DLT,when you say,floyd would come in thinking its an easy fight,I give floyd more credit than that,because the LAST thing floyd would want to do is lose to the guy who lost to Baldomir.
moy22487 01-17-2006, 01:04 AM if he doesnt fight zab and goes with a mandatory they will give him crap. if he beats zab he just beat a guy who was exposed agants a lesser fighter. most of the people who he should fight already have fights or are avoiding him
DiegoFuego 01-17-2006, 01:07 AM Most critics will never give Mayweather credit, but **** 'em. It's not his fault guys like Junior Witter become #1 contender or Zab Judah loses to Carlos Baldomir. Ricky Hatton wants a tune-up fight, so what is Mayweather left with? His mandatory? Judah? Baldomir? He can't win with some people, but I don't give a ****. He's the best fighter on the planet, and that is not up for debate.

Antonio "Tony" Margarito..

I have to agree on that, that's very true. :) Especially on the eyes of people who doesn't appreciate skills and reply only biased nut hugging. :cool:
DiegoFuego 01-17-2006, 01:11 AM Antonio "Tony" Margarito..
is the best fighter on the planet? HAH! Margarito's best wins don't compare to any of Mayweather's 5 best wins

I didn't say he was the best...
I said he is the opponent that Floyd should fight!

Agreed. Margarito is far better and more more worthy an opponent for Floyd than ZAB is.
He will lose a lot of credibility for fighting someone who lost to a complete noob. At this point in his career, he should be running against the elites.
Floyd is getting way too far out of his league by trying to fight ZAB for the big bucks
I completely agree about Margarito. I have said for years that I think this guy is overrated and that Floyd would kill him and most disagreed with me and thought dude was a beast and that Floyd was too small, because Ive been saying it for years.
Anyways, Floyd should still fight him. This is a fight that people will give him credit for because alot of the writers think that Margarito is a beast.
They both are with Arum, so it can easily be made and he will probally fight Floyd for cheap just to get the recoginiton.
Floyd should fight Margarito. It is so dumb for him to pick Zab over Margarito. It makes no sense to me
Famoso Matador 01-17-2006, 01:24 AM If this fight takes place, and Zab wins, i would **** a brick. I think Zab does better against adversity anyway. I still think it would be an interesting fight. And why would Mayweather not want this fight to take place? As of late he has only fought opponents that he knows he will out class. for all we know Floyd wants to fight him even more now, thinking it would be an easy pay check.
onetwopunch 01-17-2006, 01:39 AM Floyd needs to fight Zab and Margarito and either Spinks or Mosely at 147 then if he plans to move up to 154 he needs to fight Ouma, DLH, Mayorga, and Forrest. There are plenty of good fights for him. Im tired of watching him fight fighters like Gatti, Mitchell and Bruselles come on..I think he is by far the most talented boxer out there today but he needs to fight the top guys out there.
DiegoFuego 01-17-2006, 01:42 AM I guess Mayweather should fight Margarito but I think that fight would take even more building than Mayweather against Judah at this point. Nobody knows who Margarito is other than Mexican fight fans. Good fight, but will it sell?

Mexicans sell themselves. That fight would be packed and should get decent buys. I mean, even Arum said that he would make more fighting Margarito then anyone (although you really cant believe a word Arum says)

You make a good point...
Margarito should fight Gatti!!
If Margarito fights Gatti, he will get tons of exposure..
If Mayweather fights and beats Margarito in fashion, I will have no reason to ever critisize Floyd again..

YOU'RE A BUL****TIN LIAR!!!!!!!!!;)
I think Floyd would get a nice payday so it might not be a waste. He shouldn't take Zab for granted, and not train hard, who knows if Zab would train better for this fight.

The fact is... Floyd is elite, and elites prove themselves by fighting ELITES ONLY.
Now tell me, is ZAB ELITE?
DiegoFuego 01-17-2006, 10:59 AM Zab Judah is just as bad as fighting Sharmba Mitchell. I think at least Mitchell was coming off a no contest or something before he fought Mayweather whereas Judah LOST to CARLOS BALDOMIR.
TRUEVisionDC 01-17-2006, 11:09 AM Floyd Mayweathers career is following the footsteps of another, dare I say, "great" fighter...Roy Jones Jr.....
Point: Tons and Tons of talent but we will never see it challenged!!!
For PBFs Career: The only fight for Floyd to make is Margarito (the most dangerous fighter out their at the weight).
For PBFs Pocket: Zab (a talented fighter) from Brooklyn trying to avenge a devasting defeat against argueably the best fighter in the world. If promoted properly (and its easy to do) it will do HUGE numbers and make for a nice paycheck.
