Mayweather-Judah not dead!
There is still interest from promoters and HBO executives in staging an April 8 showdown between Floyd Mayweather and Zab Judah. Judah's shock loss to Carlos Baldomir on January 7 took some of the luster off the proposed matchup, but he may just get a pass from that lackluster performance as boxing powerbrokers believe Zab lost mainly because he was not focused or motivated for that bout. That isn't expected to be a problem against Mayweather. It isn't unprecedented when a popular fighter is upset, that he still moves into a big fight soon after. 'El Terrible' Erik Morales himself is coming into next weekend's superfight with Manny Pacquiao after dropping an HBO-televised showcase fight against Zahir Raheem and that event is doing big business. Also, who can forget Julio Cesar Chavez' shocking loss in a tuneup to unrated Willy Wise in 1999? He not only got his title shot against Kostya Tszyu a few months later, but kept his #1 WBC ranking.
i dont know why u idiots keep acting like mayweather is so much better then judah...judah has equal speed,he's bigger,stronger, and has more power but he's not the better boxer though..he has a chance
Judah is going to be trying to land the left hand. Floyd is going to punish him.
Would I buy the PPV...nope I don't care if it was for three yucks.
Will I download it or watch the replay...yup.
I knew this would happen. I personally still want this fight. Lets be real, ITS STILL A GOOD MATCHUP! Does Judah deserve the fight? NO. But I honestly believe this will be an entertaining fight if its signed.
i'd still watch that fight...granted that he was not focused, Don King f**ked his arse, he was not properly motivated jajaja....it still remains an interesting match-up. hell, Morales still have his rematch, Golota repeatedly on championship fights, Tyson long OTH an people still come to watch.
Zab does bad vs "chinny" thugs...I see someone like Hatton completely ruining him, but on the otherside when he has a more technical match he can implement his gameplan.....he'll get tooled but it might be better than ppl expect. Especially if Zab can land one of those "early" body shots ....heheh
im glad this fight could still happen, i really wanted to see this fight before the baldomir fight, and although zab looked like shit agaisnt him i think if he put his mind on the job it could turn out to be a good fight!
After the Raheem loss, morales is fighting Pac. It is not the same thing as Judah and Mayweather. Erik actually went up in weight and lost and decided to fight Pac who he already beat before. Judah has not beaten mayweather before and he has been fighting alot at 147. I dont even think he can beat mayweather now. I just don't know why he was not modivated for Baldomir. I don't think he is the best at 147. He should fight at 140 for Mayweathers belt. Not at 147, because there are better fighters like collazo, Margarito, and mayweather.
as long as this isn't on ppv... they've got to be brain dead if they think people will pay after zab's loss a week ago. i wouldn't say zab's done, but it seems like a risk to jump im in with Mayweather after a less than impressive fight like we saw.
no..no people will still pay big money to watch this one. It will be a sell out, but a one sided affair with mayweather giving zab judah the beating of his life.
I was dying to fork over $50 for the fight but won't do it now. If I did that, then I'd be saying to myself and HBO/Showtime that their tv dates don't mean anything because future fights will happen anyways. The Pac/Morales thing is a little different because it was a rematch. That bothers me less than a p4p/undisputed championship fight fought under similar circumstances
The thing is it's not about Judah not being able to train properly or not. It's about his weak ass chin, Camacho Jr. could knock him out, they should both have a fight to see who has less balls!!! Judah should stay out of boxing and keep doing hip hop video cameos.He could have been in Paul Walls video,Grills :D

Yep, gotta agree with that!

Everytime Judah has faced an A list fighter, he has lost. If Cory Spinks can beathim, and this guy last week can beat him, Mayweather fighting him is only to please HBO buy filling the TV date.
Judah is a disgrace!
