    Can he still manage to achieve greatness?
    If he can beat Mosley then maybe that will ressurect him somehow, but if he loses to Mosley that will be every big fight hes ever had then i cannot see him getting another big fight but i bet he still will get one its nuts.

      Zab may not have beaten everyone he's fought but thats because recently he has been in there with the best of the best. No shame in losing to the people he did (minus Baldo).

        That is very true, but to lose all the big fights and still get opportunities is kinda odd, i can see if he won one or two of them but the only good fighter he ever really beat was Cory Spinks who beat him the first fight.

          I think Zab Judah's biggest problem is Zab Judah.

          I think his team doesnt help him stay on top of his business in the ring.

          Look at the Kostya Tszyu fight.

          He went out and dominated that first round. He had this guy figured out. he really did...

          then he got ****y in the second round and tried to put together a showcase for his next fight (by dancing around attempting to make Tszyu look completely outlassed...and zab admitted it) and what happened? Kostya Tszyu caught him and he got knocked down...

          now his second problem was he had too much pride and bounced right up after the knockdown without regaining his balance and what happened? (you've all seen the dance he did by now) and it cost him the fight.

          that was all zab...i believe had he not gotten overly confident in the second round he would have probably Ko'd Tyszu in around the 8th round or beat him by a UD...(if the first round was any indication).

          His loss to baldomir...was his fault to...zab (i believe at the time was probably the better fighter...i dont know how he blows that fight...and then something like 3 months later he still gets the floyd mayweather fight).

          His loss to mayweather...

          Zab Judah had his moments where he looked good against floyd but the deeper the fight went zab started breaking down and it all came to a head with the low blow and the ring riot...

          Miguel Cotto is a similar story...he looked good in the first 3-4 rounds and when cotto started landing some body shots and started to look good against zab then zab had a breakdown and eventually got stopped rather than taking his time and trying to employ a new strategy he just got beaten.

          I think Zab has all the talent to beat some of the guys he's lost to (with the exception of mayweather and cotto...i think he would have lost to those two either way but the fights would have been much closer if he buckled down instead of breaking down)...

          but looking at that he should only have 2 losses... not 5.

          Who knows maybe after his recent FNF's maybe he's learned that if he keeps blowing opportunities that all he will be able to get is bouts on FNF's...

          i think he's really lucky (to be honest) to get a fight with mosley (on ppv at that)...

          if zab loses against mosley it better be a close fight (zab better hope its close if he loses) or he might not get other opportunites...

          best scenario for zab's career is a convincing decision or knockout of mosley and i'd like to see zab make a comeback in his career (he is only 30...he does have a good couple years left) but i dont think it'll be against a guy like shane mosley...

                  I like Zab, I especially like his self destructive nature, theres something about him that makes you feel a bit sorry for him but at the same time you know it's his own fault. I think he learned a lot against Cotto though, hopefully he's matured...but not too much I'd miss him.

                    The only thing that keeps judah coming back is money. Dont forget he's basically broke. What pisses me off is that people will just sit there and pay for this crap. I'll catch the free version. Oh, moseley by vicious ko

                      Zab is Zab. I am glad he is still in the mix. He is entertainment like no one else and is now showing heart. He faced Cotto and now wants Mosley. Also did pretty good for a minute against PBF and even knocked PBF around a few times. I don't think Zab can beat Mosley but it should be an interesting fight. Zab realies too much on that uppercut. He needs more diversity than that. Also lacks patients, he thinks just because he has a fighter a little stunned that he has to jump all over that fighter and that works for him sometimes but it wont work against top tier fighters like Cotto, Mosley or PBF.
