Zab Judah Reportedly Heading To Square Ring?

[Mr. Ryan]

I agree he has been on the slide, but at his age its not impossible for him to do some damage at 140. Like you said, they just need to promote him in winnable fights at that weight, and there is a lot of potential for that at 140. Still, I think when he fights one of the upper level guys he will lose again.

If he can make weight at 140, which is unlikely given his advanced age, why would he go there when he clearly needs to make the most money as soon as possible? Hatton is the only money fight at 140 and there is no guarantee Hatton would take that fight, so instead he'd be fighting guys like Timothy Bradley for short money and taking an L. I think he'll do what he normally does, take a few wins in small club fights and then get blasted by a stronger welterweight.

he weighed 147 on fight night against clottey i think he can make 140

So how about Salita vs Zab? Probably no chance of that happening.

[youngswish23]

he should fight paulie at msg! that 'll sell out. try in put danny jacobbs on the undercard. make it all brooklyn.

Nobody can lift Zab outta the doldrums. Dude will forever lose to anybody he don't KO w/in 6 rds. If only the man had 12 rd endurance.

You might be right but a move to 140 can hardly be a bad thing for him.

Just because he might make that weight doesn't mean he'll be effective at it. Ask Chris Byrd.

That isn't the whole story on whether or not he can make 140.

What are you talking about? 1+1 is always 2 in boxing. /sarcasm

[ReadyUp]

Well....since it's at MSG they could always ring up Wayne Martell again so Zab can look good.

he weighed in @143

So how about Salita vs Zab? Probably no chance of that happening.

i think the article says somewhere down the line, but not november. everyone @ 140 would want to fight him for money and recognition so he can prolly get anybody he wants... i hope torres or holt vs judah on undercard that would be sick
