He still has all his skills, still explosive, he's just too small for 147. He weighed 143 at the weigh in and 147 come fight night, he could make 140 pretty easily. There is nothing left for him at 147 but at 140 i don't know who could beat him.
I have liked Judah from day one...but he actually needs to go HOME. Real Talk. I just see his passion for it anymore. He didn't even get headbutted and I actually felt sorry for Super because I like him so much. But he has 6 L's and he hasn't really gotten better in the ring.
and he'd beat anyone else... i think moving down would definitely be the right move for him now
yeah but consider this, many people, me included believe Judah needs a new trainer
if he's not smart enough to do that, why would he move down a division?
hell IMO Zab would be more likely to move up in weight (again) rather then move down.
Can't really Zab having much more than a punchers chance against Hatton. As soon as that fight goes past 6 it's Hatton's fight.
The thing for me it seems like Judah has to fight a perfect round to win a round. He can't just eek out a messy round, he seems to expend a lot of gas.
can u imagine how disorganised Judah would become against Hatton with all the holding and leaning on him ,Floyd coped because he has composure Zab would get flustered IMO
then again Judah could knock Hatton out cause i believe Hatton is on the slide and his chin is vulnerable these days due to losing weight in short space of time before a fight etc

Zab is like a magnet for championship fights then if he gets another title shot... when was his last quality W?
hmmm last quality win was probably his fight on FNF vs Vazquez
yeah no kidding, he really is a magnet look how many title fights Zab's been in the past 2 years.
getting down to 143 for a Welterweight fight really has me questioning though ... why not fight at 140
look at the fight prospects Zab has at Super Welter. it would be in Judah's best interest to reconsider fighting at 140.
especially coming off his 4th consecutive loss in Welterweight title fights.
zab would be undisputed champ
i dont know about that...he would have to get pat hatton and paulie first and i think those would be two good fights that wouldnt be easy...
hatton (even past his prime) is still a FORCE at 140...a powerhouse to be reackoned with...he's (excluding his inability to be as crafty of a boxer) the miguel cotto of 140...he's relentless...keeps moving forward and rips through his opponents...
judah would have to outlast hatton and take him deep into the fight and win a decision (in my opinion)...even past his prime i have a hard time seeing zab ko'ing hatton...
paulie v. zab would also be a really good fight...that (in my opinion) would be a 12 round chess match; something similar to spinks v. judah and/or mayweather v. judah...(without the brawl)...
it would be a fight where the only real stat that matters on compubox is the jab count...
i'd be very interested to see these two try to out think and out box each other...
well assuming Hatton get by Malignaggi this upcoming November.
Malignaggi vs Judah @ 140 at the Garden would be a heck of a fight
I recall after the Judah/Cotto fight Paulie was talking some smack about Zab saying his performance vs Cotto was better then Judah's since Judah got stopped.

he would be much better served at 140 in my opinon...
i dont see him being THEE champ at 140 but he's second at best...and 3rd at worst...
i'd like to see him get to 140 and fight paulie, hatton, etc...
it would make for some good fights in 09.
