    He wants to get knocked out in every division he goes to.'
    I hear he is trying to get B-Hop at MW next after 154.........

      He could beat Spinks at 154, he could have a good fight with Forrest, a rematch with Baldy, a long-talked about matchup with Oscar, and I would pick him over Simms and Alcine. Lots of options there. If it works for him physically, is another matter.

          Rubbermatch with Spinks would be interesting...

            Are you serious or just making that up?

            I can see Judah beating a lot of the LMW champs right now, he's got a better chance of redeeming himself than Margarito if you ask me. Even though Zab got humiliated in some of his last fights, he hasn't been beaten by anyone who he wouldn't be able to beat. He lost focus against Tszyu but IMO could've handled him, he almost beat Mayweather if he just fought two more rounds like he did the first five, he fought a close fight with Baldomir, redeemed himself against Spinks and caught Cotto early in the fight. I'd probably give Cotto a better chance on second thought, but he did fight a great fight.

            The best thing for Judah is either fight Margarito who is looking to get back to the top just like him or dominate at 154 and look for the smoke to clear in the welterweight division (seeing as there's a lot of important fights scheduled right now)

              I think Zab has almost no chance against Vernon. Too big for him in my opinion. He might even lose speed going to 154. I'm wondering why he doesn't go back to 140 where he belongs. He'll be in there with guys who aren't so much naturally bigger. I sometimes wonder if it's because of his lack of discipline he's moving up. As far as making the weight. I've heard he loves the night life and such. (cant blame him on that though.)

                It's a one time thing. Just trying to stay active with out having to cut weight is probably what it is.
