Should Judah return to light welterweight??

The Last two post are true. His father should have handed him over to another trainer when he became a contender in the Pro ranks. But, oh no, Yoel had to have his time in the spot light. Zab could have been a great fighter, I remember being very excited about him in the late 90's. But a lot of false confidence and bad technique lead him to his downfall.

I agree with this completely, at least on the offensive side of the game. He does get hit a lot more than Floyd, but he does look faster, and his punches just seem so crisp when he throws them. I will never forget Floyd's head snapping back at least a foot when Zab hit him with a left hand in the 4th round of their fight, but it is true that he just shells up when he gets hurt.

Yeah you're right bro, defensively PBF is a lot better, but he has more technical skills. Judah can roll with punches and has decent movement, but like you said, as soon as he gets hit or guys don't melt in front of him, he's finished.

Excellent point.

I don't understand this either. Why be a boxer? I mean he gets hit, and that is it. It's like he equates being hit once or twice with losing in his mind and when he gets hit, mentally he throws in the towel. Terrible flaw both characteristically and professionally.

Zab has all the natural makings of a champion. I won't count him out just yet, but he has little sand left in his hourglass. I watched this fight again a few weeks ago and I was so impressed with Zab the first few rounds and even re-evaluated the way I had scored. It was not even but, I think he almost took 5 of the 12.
