    Mayweather vs Judah was an underrated fight

    I'm not a "Floyd Boy" by any means but I do enjoy the majority of his fights. When people talk about guys who gave Mayweather a good fight, usually the only ones talked about are Castillo & Hernandez... I think Judah did a hell of a job and I think he was the only fighter to ever be on Floyd's level as far as speed is concerned.

    The fight was MUCH closer than it was scored. Zab knocked floyd down (his glove hit the ground) when he got rocked with a lightning fast counter. Also Mayweather was well on his way down another time when he hung on to Zabs neck to keep him from falling. Neither of those were scored or recognized. Then to top of it off Zab's lowblow and rabbit punch sealed his fate on the scorecards.

    All in all though I think Zab had the right formula that it takes to beat Mayweather. When he fought Castillo the first time he completely didn't look himself. But Zab was really hanging and ****ing with him unlike anyone I've ever seen.

    Does anyone agree with me on this?

    Zab vs Floyd was close, Zab vs Clottey wasn't.

    Does that say something about Mayweather?

      It was a decent boxing match, definitely not anything too exciting sans the melee.

        Don't forget Zab vs Cotto.

          Zab looked good the first three or four rounds. After that Maywether broke him down and dominated. You must have been watching another fight to see it any other way.

            Zab Floyd wasn't close. Either way, What does Mayweather say for Ricky Hatton?

              I didn't forget the way Zab busted up Cotto's face

                Whoever said Hernandez gave Floyd a tough fight is lying. Hernandez lost every round and was completely dominated.

                  zab is dangerous but he just doesnt have what it takes to go 12 rounds it seems agaisnt top tier guys, i had zab/clottey 4-4 but had to score round 9 to josh giving him the win, if they didnt score round 9 then that fight was a draw (im pretty sure 2 score cards had it the same way i did 5-4 josh but without round 9 it was a draw) and why does it always seems that round 7 zab gets hurt or rocked>?
