First of all I know Judah has lost every single one of his high profile fights, Tszyu, Mayweather, Cotto, Khan to name a few and there are a few others aswell that he lost.
I just finished watching Judah v Paris, It was a small insignificant venue with what was some kind of Eastern European television coverage, It was not HBO or Showtime thats for sure! Judah looked good in that fight, But I feel that Khan may have just put the final nail into the coffin that is Judah's career. Gone are the days of Tyson walking Zab to the ring, Michael Buffer doing the ring announcements, The high of his biggest win against Spinks.
Judah was guaranteed a fight against Pacquaio if he beat Khan, But instead Khan beat Judah very badly so there is no question of a Pacquaio fight on the horizon. I almost feel bad for Zab he was exciting, fast, quick tempered and you never used to know what you were going to get with him, His problem was and will remain is that he is mentally very, very weak.
Its sad watching Judah walking into the ring with Tyson and a bunch of world titles, To walking into the ring against Khan with a single world title and gospel music and getting utterly destroyed to fighting in a dirty obscure brooklyn venue.
Judah will be right back in a high profile title fight at some point this year, with all his fans again falling back into the habit and saying he is a different man.
Zab's career was over along time ago (when he lost to Baldimir), he can't beat an A level guy (Tsyzu, Mayweather, Cotto). I remember watching the Clottey fight and knew he was done as a top level fighter. His wins over Paris and others are just smoke and mirrors, to get some money and easy fights. When he steps up to the top, he will fall again. I still wouldn't have minded to see Zab against JMM.
It's interesting, you wouldn't have thought early in his career than Judah would be such a front-runner.
He got hurt to the body by Ward's vaunted left hook to the body but rallied to finish stronger. He got up from knockdowns against Bergman and Millett to win by stoppages in those bouts.
If Judah had beaten Khan then yes he was guaranteed a Pacquaio fight. Arum was already talking about the fight before Judah fought Khan, But Arum said after the fight was made between Judah and Khan that Judah would have to win if the Pacquaio fight is to be made.

****ing yanks. The trouble with the ****ing yanks is, they've no ****ing sense. I had some dick in Los Angeles actually ask me where I learned English. English, ****!
Judah always had the skills, it was the mental strength that he lacked. Khan didn't ruin Judah. Judah proved time and time again that he couldn't handle top-tier competition.
It definitely wasnt Khan himself. You could just say that Khan was the last big fight that he was going to get at the time and he lost so he was out. However, his career isnt done, espically after the Paris win. He'll get another name soon and if he wins that then he's right back in the mix. All he has to do is keep winning and he's there but easier said than doneI agree. Judah has always been a front runner with very little determination when things get rough. He quit to Khan and has only himself to blame. Pacquiao would have destoyed him anyway in my opinion. He has been given more chances to fight for tittles than anyone I can think of. He can get back in the championship mix if he's got what it takes. I don't think he does anymore. He is past prime and even in his prime he lacked will power and heart and had a weak chin. Great speed and good power and skills have helped him but he never had the toughness and heart to be better than pretty good.
