I couldnt beleieve all the hate I saw in the other threads. If you want to hate him as a person then thats fine. If you want to hate him as a fighter then thats fine. However, I totally disagree with the fact that he shouldnt get another shot at a big time fight.
I say this because I think people are looking at this too much in black & white. By that I mean they just look at him losing and they automaticaly say he's a scrub that doesnt ever deserve to get a title shot again but look at who he fought. People make it sound like he lost to bums who were smaller then him. Zab's biggest problem is that him & his team have too much heart. They shouldnt have took half those fights. Even before all those fights, pretty much everyone picked against Zab but now you clown him for not winning. Was he really going to beat a Mayweather, Cotto, or Clottey? Even Baldy was a good fighter when Zab fought him.
We all have admit that Zab shouldnt even be at WW. He looks like a little boy next to those guys. I just think everyone on this board is smoking if they beleive that just because he lost those fights means that he cant beat the boys at 140 or shouldnt get a title shot at 140. Name one single guy at LW or 140 who was going to beat Floyd, Cotto, or Clottey? I bet none of them wouldve beat Baldy either. Zab is like Floyd with his weight. He claims he couldnt make 140 anymore but yet he looked super small at WW. It was just a total mismatch. Basicaly what Im saying is that I still wouldnt be shocked one bit to see Zab KTF out of Campbell, KTF out of Hatton, beat Pac, and so on. Until I see him get whipped by someone his size who isnt the best fighter in the world like Floyd then Im not going to totally call him a bum like you guys.
Dont get me wrong, he is a clown alot of times. He fights dumb and shouldve been got rid of his father. He is a big time under acheiver in some ways but in other ways he isnt. I totally disagree with people who call him an under acheiver because of his recent losses. Again, he just shouldnt have been fighting those guys. Alot of people clown him about being a 4 round fighter but no one even called him that until he lost to Baldy. He went 12 hard rounds twice with Spinks. Maybe he's a 4 round fighter just because thats how long it takes for the bigger guys to enforce there will on him. Maybe his skill can hang with them for 4 rounds but after that there size is just too much for him. That wont happened at 140. I just think that HBO should give him the Campbell fight because I bet anything this whole board would change when they again see how Zab looks at 140 against guys his own size. Then everyone would want to see him fight JMM, Pac, Hatton, and Bradley. It would change in a snap. I think he deserves one more shot but only at 140. If its at WW then he's setting himself up to lose. He "may" can beat Quintana but thats about it, so why even fight him?
Besides, am I the only one who thinks Zab-Campbell is super sexy? I swear I do. I cant beleive so many on here threw that fight away. That seems like one of those special kind of matchups that you never thought would happened because they were far apart in divisions not too long ago. Then you think about Zab vs JMM, Bradley, Pac, Hatton, and it gets even sexier. I mean Floyd is a beast but he could fight at MW 5 times right now and lose 4 of them. Does that mean that he is an underacheiving clown who should never again get a title fight at the lower weights or should fight on HBO? Does that mean that he would automaticaly still lose at WW or 140? No! Give Zab one shot against a 140 pounder and then you will know for a fact if he's an underacheiving, 4 round fighting bum, or if he's a guy who was just facing top tier fighters who were too big for him anyways. He deserves that shot and I think if he got it then he may surprise all of you
