Interesting Zab Judah quote about Mayweather.

[-Kev-]

I was watching Sworn Enemies(countdown to Mayweather/Judah) and came accross this little quote from Zab Judah.

"I think the only reason this fight is made is because Mayweather saw an opportunity, he thought I was vulnerable, he sat there with his friends and watched my loss to Baldamir and said you know what I can beat him now. This is what Mayweather does, he goes in there and fights fighters when they're finished". - Zab Judah

HBO was paying big money to Floyd for this fight. BHopreign basically ended the thread in 2008 because Mayweather and Judah signed to fight before the Baldomir fight. Baldomir was just an 'easy' tune up for Judah, that didn't go exactly how it was planned.

Same with Pacquiao vs Morales. Morales beat Pacquiao then lost to Raheem and still signed to fight a second fight with Pacquiao, and a rubbermatch.

Happens all the time, Mayweather gets picked for it though he only did it once.

thats funny because didnt they have the fight set up before baldi but it fell through?

His next 3 fights disprove that theory - he took on Baldomir who was on a hot streak, ODLH who was thought of as hot after destroying Mayorga, and undefeated Hatton who was thought of as hot after destroying Castillo.

Rep

I mean if this is what he does, why he fight Baldo who just beat you Judah?

May took the fights that put him in the position he's in

"and undefeated Hatton who was thought of as hot after destroying Castillo"

i dont agree witht hat at all. castillo looked like the crypt keeper.

You are the one grasping at straws.

You are saying that all those guys "looked" or "probably" were dehydrated but you can't say it as a fact.

Manny had to move up 2 and was one fight from saying 3 divisions when he fought Delahoya. So 147 was a compromise. Manny was the underdog in that fight.


What did the brave Floyd have to do (compromise) when he fought Hatton? Same goes with Marquez in which he didn't even want to make the intially agreed weight!

You were making the excuse that Mosley was shot and the layoff effected him (even though Floyd simply boxed his ass off like he always would have) and I responded with what could be said against Pacquiao and his opponents.

It's simply to say that those arguments can be used against any fighter, ****ting on every good win they ever had, and debating it is pointless. And the more you do it, the lower your IQ drops.

Apparently that's your shtick on here.

What? You are using some weird logic to state that Hatton would be better off fighting Floyd at 147 when history has it that Hatton fought well at 140 but was mediocre at best at 147. So this was advantage for Floyd.

I will tell you what Hatton had to do. He should have stopped impersonating James Toney when he was off from his day job as a boxer and looked after himself.

As for 147, Hatton had to first prove to the world that he belonged there before I or you can say with confidence that he belonged at 147. You on the other hand appear to think otherwise. Why? After the Floyd fight, Hatton went down and fought 3 more times instead of staying at 147. Hatton was and never would be a 147 fighter and the records prove it 100%

End of story!

Your rigid logic is astounding. I'm done repeating myself.

Oh i see now. PBF sits there with his friends and watches Pac destroy Cotto, Hatton and DLH, and dont think he can beat Pac anytime soon.
So is not ready for Pac. When he watches Pac fight one day, and Pac seems to struggle he will say you know what i can beat Pac now.

There is a big difference between Manny and Floyd.

When Manny moved up 2 to 3 divisions to fight these WW he was not favored. So the risk factor was higher. You keep on bringing up Oscar but Oscar was the clear favorite.

Against Floyd, Hatton and Marquez were not .... Mosley wasn't ....

Yes, every fighter has a some questionable fighters but the point is that Floyd has been very consistent on this point....

but of course, you do not see the difference so what can I say.
