I realized that when fighting Mayweather when he hit him with a flush left hand and started throwing like crazy and had Mayweather on the ropes. When fighting Baldomir, he got the early rounds,but later on he started throwing and missing. During the Tsyzu fight, he wasn't too careful and got KTFO. Is cause,he is too relaxed in the ring? Give me your thoughts about it.
Honestly it's hard to say why Judah sometimes lacks focus.One fight he'll look like a great fighter (Spinks rematch) and other times look like he doesn't deserve to be a champion (Baldomir fight).He's one of the most talented fighters in the sport maybe that is his problem but really why.Look at Mayweather one of the most naturally gifted fighters in the history of the sport yet he never takes a fighter lightly.He has the same focus no matter if he's fighting Corley or Corrales.That is why he is so hard to beat imo.Judah showed in their bout that he has the talent to compete with Floyd but doesn't have the focus to hang with a great fighter with a great mind.
That one fight you mentioned where he "looked great"....I don't think it's any mere coincidence that he knew Spinks had no punch to hurt him.
Just a thought.
It isn't about Judah having more money or fame. It's about him having such a talent, but not utilizing it.
Technically he has less money than (I hope) all of us. He is in major debt to the IRS to the tune of millions of dollars. I am pretty sure that the worst of us here only have minor debt problems in comparison
What will it take for him to get the mentally to fight. Does he need to get rid of his gangbang hanger onners. Before the fight with Mayweather,they showed Zab warming up and the dressing room was full of those niggas. They were wearing the bandanas around their mouths.
no....but maybe a better trainer...Zab w/Freddie Roach would be nice....
all u guys might talk shit about judah but he got more money and fame the all of us combined so he's doing something right

when he gets taged he is scarred to let his hands go, his talent is as good as mayweather, he just gets scared to let his hands go when tagged, he was beating mayweather then he folded up after he got tagged a few times
After getting KTFO by Tsyzu. He stopped be offense and started being technical and defensive. A speed fighter isn't meant to be mostly defense.

I always got the sense with Judah's later fights that he always went for that beautiful photo finish, he just wouldn't adapt and settle for an ugly win, it was all or nothing with zab.
i agree he needs new blood in his training group. the talent is there but he needs guidance.

or maybe cause thousands of ppl watching your moves and u being nervous can be something also :rolleyes:
Well...then if that's it, he don't need to be a pro-fighter. The Ring is no place for choking; that'll get your ass killed.
im gonna go a step further and say that zab lacks some skills too... he relies to much on his talent and speed.... he keeps his hands low, doesn know how to gaurd himself or fight in close... he needs a new trainer...
Honestly, I would attribute that to his training. His father, who has background in MMA, trained Judah from day one. Judah, as a result, lacks in the areas of fundamentals.
good post, btw.

apparently he cant mature, its just a pity when talents are wasted like that

he definetly needs to lose those ***s that hang around him. But that wouldnt do anything for his mental strength. He needs to fight a guy he can beat for sure. He was supposed to cream baldomir, but he went in to cocky.
Hes gotta fight a guy he knows he can beat, but respects the guys talent. like a guy with KO power but has no boxing skill, u know... to keep his focus on not getting creamed with a big shot.
I think he is pretty much out of the big fights now, but he could get back in if he can beat some of the lower level opponents.
yeah zab is pretty immature with his thug mentality... it'll probably take time and fights for him to develop into a professional... and maybe a few more ass whippings

all talent no brain
exactly. his physical talent allowed his confidence to become exagerated. its odd how talent can cripple a career if there isnt the mental capasity present to utilize the talent.
