Does a Judah win over Matt setup a fight w/Ricky?

[- JCHING -]

No more southpaws for Ricky lol he clearly doesn't know how to handle them..

[Hooded Martyr]

Sadly, that is true. Judah has gotten more mileage out of accomplishing nothing than almost any other fighter around now.

undisputed champion of a weight class

wonder how many fighters would love to accomplish that nothing

[Joe2608]

I'd watch it as a farewell fight for Ricky or something.

Zab Judah has become the ultimate gatekeeper of the welter weight division but he's still considered by some folks a top contender. Whatever the label, Zab always comes to fight and makes his opponent work hard for the victory. That's why he always seems like he's in demand...

Zab Judah is just a waste of space and talent, nothing more, nothing less.

The guys deserves a little more respect than you're giving him; the boxing universe needs guys like Zab, not everyone can be a superstar or champion...

hes been a genuine world champion

yes he didnt fulfill his potential but he still achieved alot more than most.

5 defences of IBO title before losing to Hall of Famer, kostya tsyzu.
2 wbo title defences before losing close decision to cory spinks
rematched cory spinks and won WBC, WBA and IBF titles which he defended once before losing to baldomir [when he started to decline]

Yea in boxing solid opposition (gate keepers I guess) has a place in the sport. most people either view guys at the poles (bum or godlike) but people never give the mid level guys any respect (Rocky Jaurez is another example).

Yeah, we need a "gatekeepers appreciation thread" here in NSB. You can add Edison Miranda, Jameel Mccline, et al to the list...

[Hooded Martyr]
