Zab Judah as lightweight

[Zerwas1]

He weight in at 143 and at 147 at fight night, if its true what they said.
1.) why making 4 pounds? If he weight in at 147, Clottey thinks he rehydrates up to 150+ and doesn't try to walk him down as much, what works better for Judah's boxing fight plan.
2.) Why fighting guys weighting 160?

He could easily make 140 and maybe even 135, that's just 12 pounds
@135 he would knock out guys left and right.
He could start with Amir Khan.
Maybe a fight at 140 first and then 135. He should avoid guys with a tight defense, he's a better fighter against elusive boxers.
Malignaggi would be a good fight for him.
It's really sad but at least I won my bet

[LOLORSKATES]

If he could make 135 I'm sure he would have done so already.

[revs1227]

140 he would do very well he seems 2 small 4 147 ...mallinagi judah would be a nice speed matchup

[Domain]

Zab Judah can easily be dominate at 140 he only weigh 143 and he didnt even look drained.
I am pretty sure he could suck down to 135 and be the king of the division and not everyone silly.

Zab at 135 would be the number 1 guy and at 140 he would be a top guy.
If pacquiao comes to the ring at 147 then zab could make 135 or 140 easily.

Zab Judah 143 at weigh in 147 at fight night
Josh Clottey 147 at weigh in 160-170 at fight night
Manny Pacquiao 130 at weigh in, once 147 at fight night

People have different types of bodies, but these numbers tell me Judah could possibly make 135.

Zab is taller than Pacquiao and at this advanced stage of his career it would be suicide to drain to 135. History says that older fighters moving down in weight don't fare well.

[Dan...]

Yeah I don't understand why Zab doesn't fight at 140 either personally.

Theres no money at 140 outside of Hatton, and you know Hatton won't fight him.

There you are right, but Zab is not that old and he also is only 1 inch taller.
Pacquiao started at what 112?
He also made 130 by weighting 147
Zab just should make 135 by weighting 147

[Joan_Guzman]

I think he could make 140. 135 would be too much. He rehydrated to 147 so he is clearly a welterweight. But, about weigh ins Clottey weighing in at 160 is aubsurd. Guzman rehyrates to around 147 too.
