    Zab needs to go to 140

    He still has all his skills, still explosive, he's just too small for 147. He weighed 143 at the weigh in and 147 come fight night, he could make 140 pretty easily. There is nothing left for him at 147 but at 140 i don't know who could beat him.

    Agree. Paul Williams, Margarito, Cotto (again), Berto, Mosley would all likely hand him his ass.

      I think he would be a lot better fighting at 140.

        If he does he would reak havoc on the 140lbs division. I don't think Hatton would have a chance against Zab but he has disappointed me in the past.

          he would be much better served at 140 in my opinon...

          i dont see him being THEE champ at 140 but he's second at best...and 3rd at worst...

          i'd like to see him get to 140 and fight paulie, hatton, etc...

          it would make for some good fights in 09.

            140 would definitely be a good choice for Judah.

                well assuming Hatton get by Malignaggi this upcoming November.

                Malignaggi vs Judah @ 140 at the Garden would be a heck of a fight

                I recall after the Judah/Cotto fight Paulie was talking some smack about Zab saying his performance vs Cotto was better then Judah's since Judah got stopped.

                  Zab is like a magnet for championship fights then if he gets another title shot... when was his last quality W?

                    i dont know about that...he would have to get pat hatton and paulie first and i think those would be two good fights that wouldnt be easy...

                    hatton (even past his prime) is still a FORCE at 140...a powerhouse to be reackoned with...he's (excluding his inability to be as crafty of a boxer) the miguel cotto of 140...he's relentless...keeps moving forward and rips through his opponents...

                    judah would have to outlast hatton and take him deep into the fight and win a decision (in my opinion)...even past his prime i have a hard time seeing zab ko'ing hatton...

                    paulie v. zab would also be a really good fight...that (in my opinion) would be a 12 round chess match; something similar to spinks v. judah and/or mayweather v. judah...(without the brawl)...

                    it would be a fight where the only real stat that matters on compubox is the jab count...

                    i'd be very interested to see these two try to out think and out box each other...
