    Does Zab Judah have any good fights left?

    Zab Super Judah is one of my all time favorite boxers. He had/has all the talent in the world but hasn't quite been able to harness it. At times over his career he has shown brilliance. IMO he was tremendous for the 1st half of his fight with Mayweather (whom I hold in very high regard). He consistantly beat Floyd to the punch and knocked him down (even though the ref didn't rule it one).
    He has also showed up flat many times (Baldomir, Kostya Tszyu, etc). I didn't know which Zab was going to show up in the Clottey fight and I must say he looked solid. Not quite as good as he has been in the past, but solid.
    So I must ask the question.

    Does anyone here think Zab has anything left in the tank?

    I think he can still be a force at 140, I can't see him beating most if any of the top guys at 147.

      zab is exciting as hell, he definitely has a few left in him if he can find the motivation within himself.

      i love judah but he loses every big fight he gets into. id like to see him go out with at least one more brilliant victory.

        Judah needs to stay away from big punchers, and guys who are bigger.

          Zab had alot of talent but I think he was so concerned about acting like a mini-tyson that he wasted his gifts. He probably hates it but I see Judah being a division gatekeeper or a name to pad a resume. It's a shame because he probably should have been one of the best around the 140-147 classes for years.

            This is the question that has kept him relevant for God knows how many years.

            If you're referring to him beating mid-level opposition then yes. But maybe not because he nearly lost to the ancient Rafael Pineda.

            But if you're referring to good match-ups...NO. Hell no. And I don't know how many times he has to get beat up before people realize that.
