Whats up with ZAB JUdah????????

i am very curious to know, who zab will fight on sept in ESPN?

1) zab judah vs margarito - very low chance Zab wins 2) zab judah vs paul williams - Zab gets decimated 3) zab judah vs cintron - good fight, Zab has a chance 4) zab judah vs ricky hatton - good fight, Hatton has the edge, but Zab could KO him if Collazo almost can 5) zab judah vs delahoya - Oscar wins 6) zab judah vs shane mosley - Mosley wins 7) zab judah vs paul malinaggi - good boxing match here. Zab might win unless Mali shows up to BOX with a capitol B. Overall, Zab's career is far from over IF he gets better training. Dude seems loyal to his father, though. So many kids from his side of the tracks grow up without a father, so I'm sure he feels very connected to his Dad and greatful he was there for him in those crucial times as a youngster.

I feel that Zab needs to get his mind right before stepping in the ring. It seems that he loses focus and confidence when he encounters a fighter that doesn't back down and can give him problems. I mean look at his fight with Mayweather. In the first four rounds I was actually worried about floyd. But when floyd switched his offense up and applied more pressure zab didn't know what to do. Same thing with Cotto. When Cotto established that he wasn't afraid of zab and kept pressing him zab lost focus. He just lacks discipline to be a great fighter. If he can change that he'll be good cause he definitely has the skills to be great. He just needs to work more on his mental toughness than anything. I agree. Nice post.

some of you guys are crazy... zab loses to every top WW right now.... he's only won one big fight, and that was against a guy that couldnt punch(spinks) and he had to fight him twice to do it... zabs' defense is garbage, he keeps hands low, if you apply pressure and rattle him(like baldy did), he loses his composure... if zab couldnt beat baldy, how the hell is he gonna beat moes, cintron, margo or williams? I didn't mean that they were sure things I just ment that out of the list if Zab is at his best those two are who he has the best chance with . He gave Cotto one hell of a fight ,a better fight then some of the others on that list would have gave Cotto .;) Paul ;) I think the Cotto fight might have gave him more confidence being that he showed himself that he does have a pretty good chin and a whole lot of heart, so he might comeback better then ever.

Because Williams is a beast!??? Riiiiiiiight.

Judah would lose to dlh and probably hatton/mosley..and have a shot vs margarito/williams/..probably beat cintron and paulie zab couldnt beat williams on williams' worst day.

Judah would lose to dlh and probably hatton/mosley..and have a shot vs margarito/williams/..probably beat cintron and paulie i think paul williams will beat him. this guy throw punches like crazy . about 100 punches in one round. zab would be frustrated

Huge Judah fan here too and sadly I agree with a lot of the opinions on here. I wanted to go through the screen and jump into Judah's body during the Cotto fight and just start wilding out with that left uppercut lol. It was a frustrating thing to watch as a Judah fan to say the least. I take nothing away from Cotto either. I guess Judah is already lined up for Sept. 8th on an ESPN card. Can't wait. He needs a convincing win. sept 8th?? against who?

I would like to see him against margarito.

He can be a champ again but he is in the same roll as Vargas is being that he is extremely good when he is at his best but he is hardly at his best and isn't going to beat many of the tip top boxers most of the time. He is one of them guys who has everything to be an all time great but for some reason can't get it done in the big match . Maybe if he came around in a different era he would have been the best of his time but even those era's are hard to find right now. Who knows what's next maybe he will get it together and comeback stronger then ever but time is running short. I hope he can because I really enjoy his fights and there are a lot of great fights to made with him but as of right now I can't pick him over many of the top fighters , but things can and do change. 1) zab judah vs margarito...Marg 2) zab judah vs paul williams..Williams 3) zab judah vs cintron.....Judah 4) zab judah vs ricky hatton...Hatton maybe Judah by D 5) zab judah vs delahoya...De La Hoya 6) zab judah vs shane mosley...Mosley 7) zab judah vs paul malinaggi...Judah my exact picks, except i think zab definitely gets a D against hatton.

Zab has thre skills to beat all of them guys on his day!!! He could beat cotto as well!!! His problem seems to be mental rather then physical!!! I agree. man, I wish he could be persistent as cotto and smart as mayeather. Then he would be SUPERMAN. nobody will beat him. his style would be very difficult to be defeated

judah said that he wont go down to 140. he still want to compete with guys in 147

i doubt that get a new trainer will make any difference for judah. It may bring the best out of judah. But i noticed that judah often lack of agressiveness, he doesnt let his punches go as much as expected. he can just stop throwing punches. Yoel addressed that issue in the ring , i believe, but what happened?? he just wont let his fists go. i think the issue is whats inside of him, not with trainer. i am not saying yoel is great as a trainer, but replacing him wont do too much for zab. This is just my opinion

I finally watched the cotto fight a week ago or so, Judah fought some rubbish tactics, jab jab jab, he should have kept throwing that laft hand lead, he had cotto hurt several times in the fight with it, he really could have won that fight with better tactics, but with zab it is mental, he just doesnt like getting hit and it ruins his fight plan, he spends more time trying not to get hit, rather than actually boxing. Judah has class skills, the uppercut he hurt cotto with early on was just a world class shot, timing was lovely, He certainly isnt finshed, i think he should try and get down to 140 if possible where they dont hit as hard perhaps. And Miguel Cotto can actually box, he isnt just a brawler, but i say it now, he defense is limited, and i dont think he can take too many hard shots, but he has alot a hear though, he impressed me, he jabbed his way in, and went to the head alot too, his guard is quite tight also, but like i said, its a bit leaky. Was a good fight.

I agree with the guy who said he needs a new trainer, why is it that it sounds like his dad is saying the same thing to him every round of every fight, he needs someone to help him fine tune his boxing game, and somebody get this guy some road work, I hate seeing him get gassed around the middle rounds.
