Zab Judah: Man Down, Not Out

[Double]

Zab needs to stay out of the clubs and focus on his craft, he can say all he wants but until he shows his dedication with his lifestyle he will forever be a contender.

Judah is definitely another fighter i'd like to see spasm uncontrollably in the centre of the ring as every memory he has of his life before the fight is wiped slowly from his mind by all consuming brain damage. It's all that jive talk he comes out with. I've had a few amateur bouts and i'm confident I could do the job, I'd even bring him a jar of pureed broccoli to give to his parents to help with his rehabilitation period from hospital bed to wheelchair, but hopefully an English fighter will be sent over soon to send him to the G-Man's neurologist.

For the record: my right hook was know as the "cabbage maker" even in the amateur ranks. I'm thinking of making a comeback.

This is just ignorant. Be careful. This could end up happening to you. That's generally what happens when you wish harm on people.

No odubt Judah could use a new team. Period. That is undisputed this way, Stack. I do believe however that Judah has to take some of the responsibility. He needs to grow up. The street mentlity, exuberant, misappropriated family loyalty, etc. That is not how a grown man handles business.

Mayweather fired his father. It's business. You have to make decisions that are in the best interest of your future. Sure, Yoel may be upset, but as long as the family's fed, no one will complain. I am so sure.

Judah could easily be a "Million Dollar Baby". He needs to grow up before it's too late. (I think he is trying.) Fact of the matter is family loyalty will be out of the window if there's no window to throw it out of. (ie. No money, no home, everyone on the streets.)

One could even say Mayweather has thrived by bringing in Roger. Yoel in fairness does do some things right. I have heard that Floyd Sr. has a tendency to take credit for remaking a fighter. Floyd Sr. is setting himself up for a pitfall imo with his attitude towards Dawson being the most demonstrative. I mean if Dawson ****** that bad on his own and training alone was all he had he'd never have been a champion.

Yoel's mistake is the precise opposite and seems to not guide Zab when he needs more restraint.

Zab is not maturing and you could see that in some of his actions in his last fight on ESPN Friday Night Fight. He is a very talented fighter and shown flashes that he can be well above average but mentally he doesn't have it all. Also the PBF fight was not a good example to show his flashes because those first few rounds PBF wanted a brawl with Zab and you tell by his stance and the way he fought. Once PBF realized Zab wasn't going to fight him that way PBF made a adjustment and beat all the **** out of Zab. A better fight to show would have been the Spinks fight when he ony made $100,000 and took that purse because he was so confident and focused.

Some of his actions, yes. All of them, no. I think he showed he has matured and is maturing in the way he handled himself. Minus the little showboating he did which was minimal, he was very focused IMO. You must credit him for that. Once he realized he couldn't get the KO, he went the distance with grace, I think. (After rd. 8, which was when he was showing off a little.) His stamina seemed to last the entire fight. It's obvious he's trying.

I am on the fence on this. I felt it could have been called either way.
