Zab was always in that club of fighters who are “world class but with world class vulnerabilities”. By that I mean Zab was a handful for anyone but the best fighters would figure him out over the course of a fight and Zab lacked the ability to adjust against these top level opponents. Great career and was an important player for what was a great era at his weight. Other fighters like Zab for me would be Amir Khan, Paul malignaggi and the heavyweight Zhang. Fighters with some magic in their work but clear weaknesses that could be exploited by those good enough.

Terron Millett had one of the best nicknames, "The Tramp". Terron had some power but his chin was a bit suspect. Always liked Tramp and remember his stoppages loss to Gatti.
As for Zab, he was a flashy and entertaining fighter. Hand speed, boxing skills, power but way too many lapses in focus and suspect stamina and chin. Still remember the hype leading up to his fight with Tszyu and he gets clipped early and his brain short-circuited.real raw likes this.

Underappreciated?
Zab Judah is still a household name in the black community.
For a guy who lost every big fight after being up, he had a successful career
remember when he and mosley had fight talks?

Shawn Porter is a few rounds being rewarded in his way from beating prime Keith Thurman, Kell Brook, & Errol Spence.
Only Crawford really gave Porter a definitive loss.
