He weight in at 143 and at 147 at fight night, if its true what they said.
1.) why making 4 pounds? If he weight in at 147, Clottey thinks he rehydrates up to 150+ and doesn't try to walk him down as much, what works better for Judah's boxing fight plan.
2.) Why fighting guys weighting 160?
He could easily make 140 and maybe even 135, that's just 12 pounds
@135 he would knock out guys left and right.
He could start with Amir Khan.
Maybe a fight at 140 first and then 135. He should avoid guys with a tight defense, he's a better fighter against elusive boxers.
Malignaggi would be a good fight for him.
It's really sad but at least I won my bet
Zab is taller than Pacquiao and at this advanced stage of his career it would be suicide to drain to 135. History says that older fighters moving down in weight don't fare well.
There you are right, but Zab is not that old and he also is only 1 inch taller.
Pacquiao started at what 112?
He also made 130 by weighting 147
Zab just should make 135 by weighting 147
Zab Judah 143 at weigh in 147 at fight night
Josh Clottey 147 at weigh in 160-170 at fight night
Manny Pacquiao 130 at weigh in, once 147 at fight night
People have different types of bodies, but these numbers tell me Judah could possibly make 135.

If he could make 135 I'm sure he would have done so already.
