Zab Judah once one of the elite fighter of the WW division has looked more like a journeyman his last 4 outings and the time maybe now for him to hang it up and call it quits. Judahs trouble began back in January of last year when he was outboxed out punched and outslugged by a very respectful journeyman himself in Carlos Baldomir who was a 10-1 underdog, this was a fight many thought would only be the stepping stone to his historical bout with Floyd Mayweather, however barring the impossible which occurred many didnt know what to think and what would be the future of the once furocious star after a loss!
But even with the lost Zab prospered and was still deemed worthy for a showdown with Floyd, a fight that i dont think should of happened because Zab no longer deserved it, however he was granted the fight and excluding the first 4-5 rounds was thoroughly outboxed the whole night! And as a result of the events that took place the night of the fight, Zab was also suspended a year! Again questions arouse what is Zab going to do now, whos next and can he win? This was the question, the answer however surprising it was, was that Zab would have to comeback after the 1yr layoff fight some bum and then Miguel Cotto an-up-n-coming champion who unlike Baldi or Floyd was known more for his power then anything else!
So again Zab Judah was thrown a bone coming off two straight losses an embarrassing suspension and numerous reports that the former champ may have lost a step or even his-head. This didnt faze Judah however, who i think was one lucky son-of-a-gun to even be given the opportunity to capture gold only 2 months after his 1yr suspension was over. Judahs 1st fight back from the suspension matched him up with another journeymen who like Baldi sorta spoiled the plans of Judah by getting cut in the 1st round of the fight causing it to be a No Contest!
So we all know what happened last weekend but we have to ask are selfs is Zab Judah still an elite fighter? I dont think so... so what can or who can possibly be next for the guy? Another championship fight? I hope not... Look at the champs out there 140 to 147... Hatton, Ndou, Margarito soon to be Paul Williams, Cintron and of course Shane Mosely... Of the 5 i only see one id give Judah the nod over (Ndou) but still with his ever increasing non-punching, fadeing after 4 rds and 4 straight dissappointments i believe theres only one options for the guy and thats retire i rather see him retire now as a former champ then a champ turned journeyman! Because if he stays on this path he'll be fighting nothing but bums some how impress an executive while doing it get that title fight against say a Paul Mag and be upset AGAIN!
