    Judah was an undisputed champion at one point. Pretty damn good.

    Just not as good as he thinks he is. Which is with the PBF's of this world.

    That's what I get from Zab anyway, that's why he takes these fights against bigger, stronger men, where he doesn't have the strength to compete or the defence to overcome it.

    That said Hatton would probably beat him at 140 anyway,

      I agree hatton probably would beat him. Sometimes it seems like it's easy to break his spirit.

            Who would you say is a has been or past their prime that some disagree with?
            Zab Judah can't be a "has been" when he never was. He was a journyman with potential that wasn't able to break the elite barrier. He got more shots than he deserved and failed over and over again.

            Stop making these threads as if this kid was some sort of ATG. There is no shortage of up and coming boxers like Judah that just don't make it and become forgotten. He is insignificant.

                Bull****. I see far to much of this crap spouted about Judah on the internet.

                Of course he tried and tried hard. He just doesn't have it. It's that simple.

                    Exactly. That sums it up perfectly.
