Zab Judah, the man with unlimited title shots

I suppose it speaks well for Judah that he refuses to give up, but he's another guy I'm tired of seeing. Him, Rahman, and Juarez ought to just fuck off.

juarez is the mexican judah and judah is the black juarez. both have good name recognition, are dangerous, but beatable. that's why they get recycled so much. they are gatekeepers. i can see the similarity (title shot wise) but judah is nothing like rocky.... zab is zab...rocky is rocky...he aint that great and zab once was....

Zab did earn this title shot though... He does make fights interesting... I don't know if he'll ever suprise us though and win a fight he isn't favored in...

Unrealized potential, that's why. It's so evident that he could've gotten so far if he was strong and steady in his training, you know? i mean a focused and motivated Judah (so on a steady upward course) would look a lot like Mayweather stature-wise right now, right? Motivated and focused. So, i guess you can make a point on this time around, he's more focused.

I think people are obsessed with his potential to be a great fighter...and he seems to get the benefit of the doubt for it... hell, whenever he fights i feel he has a shot..

he's that slick....

Zab is much more entertaining all the way around than rocky is. rocky does one thing all fight, over and oer and over, AND has no personality. I agree. Zab is much more entertaining. Still, the amount of chances he's gotten is ridiculous.

Juarez has had 6 chances. But to be fair. 2 of those chances were rematches due to the fact that Juarez fought well enough to either draw or lose controversially.

Zab is skilled, fast handed fighter and also very well know to the fans. He held titles when he fought Tszyu, Spinks and Baldomir. After that his name helped him to get title shots, but I think that Mayweather and Cotto just wanted to whoop his ass and put his name on their resume.

A title shot usually means a step up in class for Judah - and a step up in class usually results in Judah getting his arse kicked for all to see. So it's not all bad.

In a day and age where a loss can mean so much in boxing. It doesn't seem to hinder the ability of Zab Judah to continue getting title shots. By my count, with Zab's next bout, it will be his 10th chance at a title despite 6 losses. In addition, some of those title oppurtunities were unification fights, so there are even more belts involved. What is crazy, is that on more than one occassion, Zab has actually recieved a title shot after a loss. By comparison, David Tua has only 3 losses, and can be seen as more exciting than Judah, yet only has 2 title shots. Good promoters mean a lot in this sport. not to mention he has been one of the worst sports in the history of boxing as well throwing stools at refs etc etc

Sometimes the biggest factor is who you know in the business more than anything else. Exactly. And not only that but what type of fighter you are. Zab always appeals to matchmakers because he is skilled and has that potential in him.
