    mate, you can be part ***ish in heritage, the same way i am.
    oh and im right:
    'Religion

    Judah has been referred to in the press as "the best ***ish fighter of all time." Judah's father is an avowed Israelite, or Black ***, and Judah's family has declared themselves ***ish.' - wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zab_Judah

    i too have one ***ish parent

      If contests were six rounds Zab would be one of the very best in the sport, period.

      As it is they're twelve, and he needs to train for twelve and fight with a view to going twelve, instead of thinking he can roll people out. If he manages to do that he can get back on that top spot again. He has the ability, thats no question, and although his chin isn't the best its good enough to get him through if he can sharpen his defence and learn how to fight going backwards. His counter uppercut can be devastating, damn near took Cottos head off in round 1 when they fought (think it was Rd 1, could be wrong, it was early anyhow) and landed several times later. Two-weight world champion, can't knock it, but the mans got some mentality issues

        yeah, it seems that he doesnt have the mental capacity to be as good a fighter has he could be and as we all know is pretty immature at times. I just think id like to see alot more of him because I think hes a great talet that is often times overlooked.

          i remember he looked to be beating tzsyu easily for the first round and a half till that big right hand!

          i cant believe he still questions that stoppage!

            yeah, thats probably another reason who people look past him, because of the Tszyu fight, and I dont blame them it was a pretty poor performance but I still think that if his mental abilities caught up with his physical abilites he really has the potentional to because an all time great.

              If Zab could keep his focus 100% for 12 rounds, he'd be a World Class fighter and a threat to everyone.

                Not as good as he should be.

                  Judah is one of the most overrated fighters in the sport. If you isolate the quality fighters he has been in with, his record is terrible. The only big win is Spinks, and even that was after he lost to the guy. Bottom line, another overrated New York boxer.

                    He has incredible natural talent. He's so fast and has good reflexes and respectable power. He can't seem to stay focused though. Whenever he gets in a tough fight he can't seem to dig deep enough to win. He is a bit of a front runner like Mayweather said after their fight.

                    He did well agianst Mayweather for the first 4 rounds and then Mayweather started really kicking his ass. Floyd planned to lose the first few rounds. He (Judah) did score a KD technically although it wasn't ruled that way.

                    Mayweather still would have won a UD even with the knock down but it should not be overlooked. Knocking Floyd down isn't an easy task.

                    I like Zab now, I used to really dislike him. I would have routed for him against Mosley. I really like Mosley too but for some reason, I would wish for Judah to win that fight.

                      I'd like to see Judah-Malignaggi. If Paulie and Hatton do business and Paulie wins they should have a big NYC fight with Judah
