I think it depends on the defenition of slow or shut down. I dont think he has any business fighting the top tear guys. But after saying that I still think he is good to watch most of the time.
If Baldomir hurts you like he did Zab you better stay out of boxing because you have no type of chin and anyone can hurt you, 1 punch landed and he'll be out. That is a weak ass chin,I think Camacho Jr. could KO Judah, that's scary. :eek:
Maybe Judah needs to try doing nothing but big fights ?
He won't look past to the next big fight, if he's IN a big fight maybe?
Or maybe it'll mean he gets KO'd 15 times in a row, who knows?
Before you can be finished, you have to get started. Zab just missed the welterweight era of DLH, Mosley, Tito, etc. and was able to win the belts from Corey Spinks at the second attempt. Give him credit for getting as far as he did, but he was momentarily the best in a weak division.
With Margarito coming on strong, and I think Cotto moving up soon, maybe PBF staying at welterweight, the whole picture is changing again and another strong division is emerging. Zab's won't be champion again at welterweight, and he surely can't move up in weight and be effective. Just below is Hatton, Witter, Castillo, etc. so I don't see any opportunity for Zab to be a champion again.
He's finished!
Zab isn't done but why would you want him if you were a network? You certianly wouldn't sign him to a 6 fight deal or anything like that. I think he's godo enough to beat just about anybody but you'll never know when his next meltdown is coming
hes not done.. hes going to come back.. it may take longer than he wants tho.. it depends.. if he has any opportunities to fight a big name.. he better jump at it and put on a hella performance.. im still a fan.. jus disapointed
From watching the fight it seemed he was out of shape and unfocused, but that is no excuse for losing to an absolute nobody. What do u think?
I don't think Zabs done. Not just yet. True, he lost to no namer. But if this breaksdown the way I think it will, an' fighters start challenging Zab 'cause they think hes fallen off it could be his ticket back to the top.
i was thinkin about this yesterday
zab never really truely became a top guy
he was a prospect that beat many guys and was at the enterance to becomin a top guy
then KT happened
then he beat spinks which many feel is where he graduated to a pro all star
but spinks was the same
a prospect
cuz he just beat mayo
who was a crappy prospect
who was the same
cuz he just beat vernon
he was also a prospect
that beat mosley
all these guys are nothin more then one trick ponys
jabs speed and power just made him seem like he was the real deal
but he just hasnt shown it against anyone that matters
so i guess zab is done
or gonna continue being nothin
nothin more then a hyped up guy lookin amazing when he fights his mismatches on PPV undercards
and even then
he doesnt always impress
