Zab Judah belongs in the "Hall of Very Good" because he actually had a very good career.
I think he just misses the cut for HOF.
I like Zab and wouldn't be upset if he didn't make it however I believe he will. I see a lot of posters in here are just saying he won't because Pac didn't fight and or Mayweather fought him.
They just like to discredit fighters Floyd has fount/pac hasn't fought. But it's typical for them to think that as they didn't start watching boxing until Zab was past his best days.
Overall Zab has a lot of flaws but in his day, he was a bad a$$. So much so you can look back at the threads and see people talking about how even Floyd wouldn't even handle Zab.
My grandfather before passing was a huge Judah fan. He passed before Zab started slipping. He probably would have been disappointed at his career at this point as is most fans of Zabs.
Id say hes fought some good names thats for sure. ummmmm but he lost to everyone of them.
bitter sweet?
But Cotto is first ballot? Not saying you believe that...but a lot here do.
Yes if you go by boxing standards of his resume it doesn't matter if you won or lost it just matters who you fought. IMO no he's a fringe as it gets talent wise yes he could but he melted down in fights that would have made him asire fire HOFer
Yes people seem to dismiss zabs achievements because of his lack of mental focus and his losses. Lineal at 147 countless champ at 140 2x beat his fair share of elite fighters at the time lost to his fair share of elite fighters only lost to champs except Clottey and that one African guy I think those were for vacant belts and beat plenty of good contenders. I mean **** if de la Hoya can get in why not zab.
Really? Judah's resume in terms of accomplishment isn't even a half of what DLH accomplishment. All Judah has is being a Undisputed WW champ, being a 4 time champ in 2 divisions. The biggest names on his resume are Spinks and Lucas lol
:firedevil
Lol Gatti being used as a measuring stick to get into the hall now. He was just an exception, i doubt zab gets in. Guys like Corrales, Vargas even Forrest has a better resume.

I don't know about hall of famer, but his quality of opposition over the years has been tremendous. Unfortunately Zab lost most of his fights at the top echelon.

He lost to the best guys he faced but he beat quite a few good fighters.
