Ok this is the biggest and best fight in boxing to be made. who do you think wins and why. i am going with zab by TKO in round 10. mayweather is the better overall boxer. but zab has more power. i think zabs power is better than floyds by a bigger margin than floyd's accuracy, and defense is better than zab's. zabs power at 147 is absolutely down right scary, he is definitely the hardest hitter. that power has a chance of putting anyone out and i think it will be the difference in the fight.
Mayweather/Judah
Its going to be a good fight overall with alot of different possibilities. Floyd hasnt really been tested at this weight division but look at when he fought Demarcus Corely. Mayweather is very succeptible to the left hook and corley proved that in the early rounds of their bought but did not capitalize on it like he should have. If Mayweather doesnt get hit with the hook he takes a UD.
Mayweather will totally outclass Judah and and expose him as a B level fighter (as Tzyu did), stopping him relatively early due to Judah's lacking chin. However it is good to see that Judah is actually at least talking about fighting somebody with a beating heart.
I think Judah takes this one by KO late(10th round). Judah has his head on straight now, so he knows whats at stake. Mayweather will win maybed the 6 of the 10 rounds, but he will get caught by the power of Judah, adn when Zab sees that he has in on the brink, all the aggression from the interviews, phone calls, and all the other "trash talking," will resurface and Judah will vent his frustrations on Floyd...and it won't be a pretty sight. It will be a bloody bout for both fighters, but Zab wins out ultimately.
everyone should take a look at a video in the gallery before picking Zab to beat Floyd. I'm talking about the video of Terron f*ing Millet making Zab almost do the chicken dance. Kostya can crack, but Millet?
Floyd by close(but non-controversial) UD.
I think Zab has size and thats about it. If Zab comes out to murder him with his power, he'll taste the canvas and give us a little dance to enjoy. Castillo has chin, Judah does not.
I'm going to pick Floyd my UD, MD, or SD. But, the only reason why I'm picking him is becuase (truthfully I don't know which one will win because they're very equal) Im more of a PBF fan than a Zab fan.
Floyd is smart in the ring and so is Zab. We all know why Floyds smart but IMO Zab is almost as smart or equally smart to PBF because of his rematch with Cory Spinks. Spinks is an excellent coutner puncher and has good technique. We all know Zab is a clowner (so is PBF) but int he ring hes serious (ever since the chicken dance lol)
Floyd holds a little advantage over Zab in speed.
Zab has much more power than Floyd. You gotta remember Floyd is moveing up in weight. IMO Zab has already gotten used to 147 pounds. Zab knocked out and Cory Spinks who was a true blue welterweight. So if Zab wants to move up to Super Welterweight he'd have even power.
Floyd has much better defense. Theres no denying that.
Chins IMO can be equal, but on paper, floyds chin is better. We all know about Zabs chin but Floyds chin will have to pass a serious test. Floyds never faced someone at 147 pounds, but until we see the fight and get the reaction, edge goes to floyd.
And im pretty sure PBF will be moveing up and zab won't be goiing down. Zabs the undisputed welterweight champ. Floyd just has a belt. Floyds been moveing u weight his whole carrer, why stop now?
I'll be rooting for Floyd if the fight happens but he better be damn careful, he could run into serious trouble in a motivated and focused Zab Judah.
zab knows he is the bigger, stronger fighter. thier speed is about equal, as is thier skills. i say zab comes out and tries to test floyd early and ends up stoppong pbf late
how many floyd fights have you seen?
their speed is not equal
pbf is the faster, more skilled and the better defensive boxer
stronger?? Floyd looked pretty strong against gatti. Not as strong as zab but I believe close.
Speed is not equal.
Skill is not equal. Floyd wins in those two areas. Floyd is the fastest and most skilled fighter in boxing, IMO. Floyd wins, he's on the verge of becoming what he has always wanted to become.
floyd is strong no doubt, but definitely not as strong as zab at 140 much less 147. zabs power has gone up with the move to 147. its fucking scary. speed is definitely equal how anyone can say either one is faster i dont know. but the more overall skills does go to mayweather as he has the better defense and accuracy but remember zab isnt to far behind in those areas.

If Spinks throughly outboxed Zab in Spinks-Judah 1, Mayweather just boxes his ears off. Floyd is 10x the boxer Cory is and has 10x the power Cory has. Mayweather can make Zab respect him and there will be no bullying like Zab did in his second fight with Spinks. You saw how confused Zab was in the first fight with Cory. Only when he found out that Cory doesn't hit that hard (yet hard enough to put him on his ass) did he start to come at him harder.
PBF takes this fight easily: UD hands down. You guys might actually see Zab on the canvas once or twice, too. PBF already KD'd him in sparring practice.
He hasn't faded in any fights because nobody outside of Castillo has made him fight for 12 rounds.
Mayweather definitely LOST STEAM in the later rounds of his fights with Castillo. He didn't completely gas out, but he wasn't as sharp or quick and that's why Castillo was able to bull him around and get inside on him later on. I don't see how that's questionable at all.
Zab would make Mayweather work for his rounds (I guess I don't know this for sure) and wouldn't allow him to do just enough to win rounds.
I agree that Zab has a pretty average chin, but I think it would be safe to say that Mayweathers power would be pretty average at 147. He'd only hurt Zab if he landed on him like he landed on Gatti, that ain't happenin.
Judah is my pick. Heres why:
-He has the speed and quickness at 147 to match Mayweather
-Judah finally has his head together and seems focused
-Mayweather doesn't have the power to badly hurt Zab
-Natural ability is pretty even and Zab is just as athletically gifted
-Zab is the biggest/quickest puncher that Floyd would face...Floyd has been hurt/stunned by lesser punchers before
Floyd's only real edge is his technical proficiency and defense. He'd give Zab fits for the majority of the fight until he lost his steam around round 8-9. I think Zab would start to land more frequently in these rounds and would knock out Floyd in the 10th or 11th with Floyd leading on all cards.
Floyd is the better fighter and is more proven, but I think Judah, if anybody, would be the fighter to beat Mayweather.
Mayweather fades in later rounds?
I don't know what Mayweather you've been watching, but after a few big high output rounds he usually takes rounds off doing just enough to win (really mostly on defense and countering) so he could come back strong again in the following rounds. I haven't seen any performances where he's faded.
I disagree with the power thing too. Zab doesn't have a good chin.
Mayweather goes into the fight with a plus....he knows he can beat Zab ;) ..
but theres no reason to think that zab will just look for the big punch, he never has before he always sets up with accurate combos, like floyd does. zab can hurt anyone with one shot but he doesnt go in looking for just one punch. i definitely dont think either of them could embarrass him the other cause theyre so close in skill. i would be shocked if either beat the other easily.
You'll see how he fights against someone who's actually good when he's losing badly late in the fight.
Like I said in another thread, I think Mayweather embarrasses him in this fight and takes an easy UD. In the beginning Zab is going to make the critical error of letting Mayweather dictate the pace and once he's losing 7 rounds to 1, he's going to start following Mayweather trying to land a big left hand. He's going to end up doing what alot of Mayweather opponents do that ends up leading to their demise, throwing one big shot at a time in the middle and later rounds of the fight.

I agree. Mayweather by UD.
