Super Zab Judah: I'd beat Manny Pacquiao senseless
August 28, 6:46 PM NY Boxing Examiner Michael Marley
CLEVELAND--While he is a marvelously skilled boxer, Floyd Mayweather's real talent away from the ring is the playground game of dodgeball.
The alacrity with which "Money May" ducks aggressive interviewers (I'm blushing) and hard questions (Brian Kenny, take a bow) is even more impressive than his hand and foot speed within the squared circle.
That can't be said for the Bigmouth from the BK, Brooklyn's own Super Zab Judah.
Ask Zabby Dabby a hard question and you will get a snappy answer. You might be offended by the reply but you will get it raw, BK style.
Judah knows no other way.
So I was chatting with Judah after the Hector Camacho-Pito Cardona PPV TV weigh in Friday after Zab and his Pops, Yoel Judah, informed that "friend" Mayweather was "Money Too Low" in his purse offer and that thus Judah will not fight veteran Antonio Diaz on the Marquez-Mayweather show Sept. 19.
"Floyd is my friend and he was getting me on the card out of friendship," Zab said, "but the money they offered is just too low." We got to chatting about possible opponents moving forward and Judah mentioned Andre Berto and Juan Diaz, who Zab said have similar styles and would be "easy work" for him.
So, being a troublemaker (as the Mayweather camp or Golden Goys), I mentioned Manny Pacquiao.
Judah sneered.
Judah snorted.
Judah breathed fire on a hot late August day in downtown Cleveland.
"His brother, Bobby, is a straight up bum and you know the saying about how the apple doesn't fall from the tree," Judah said. Does that mean you want to fight Megamanny, I said, wanting no misunderstanding.
"Tell him yeah," Judah said. "Go tell Bob Arum to gas him up. I won't just beat Pacquiao. I will beat him senseless!"
Judah also said that he's sure Arum will lose no sleep if Miguel Cotto beats Pacman on Nov. 14 since he has both under his Top Rank promotional tent.
"Arum wants Cotto to win and he will. My father and I disagree because he says Pacquiao will win. But Arum has Cotto in New York, in Madison Square Garden every June in connection with the Puerto Rican Day Parade and they draw 19,000 people. Why would Arum want to give that up? Pacquaio can't draw people like that."
(All dialogue guaranteed verbatim or double your money back!)
