Comments Thread For: Zab ?Super? Judah: Once overhyped, now underappreciated?

[STREET CLEANER]

Zab would loose concentration for long lapses in a fight.

You had nothing else in the landscape of modern boxing to write about other than Zab Judah.... who gave us great fights (win or lose) and great boxing fodder... what a piece o chit...

He'll be known as allegedly having testicles where his stomach is.

i blame zab for mayweather going into full duck mode. floyd knew he was cherry picking an exposed zab who couldnt even beat a bum journeyman...and floyd still struggled and lost 4 rounds while getting dropped. that mental realization made him turtle up and is probably why we never got the elite fights against guys like margarito, cotto, pac. he told himself well if i struggle against a guy like zab i dont have much chance against actual elite fighters. a very realistic and sober analyzation by floyd. he certainly understood boxing as well as anyone and what he could or couldnt do

Marg cotto and pac were literally all bob arum fighters at that time, that's exactly why you didn't get those fights and you KNOW it

We need to thank Eric Raskin for another piece of crap article that reads like a phoned in Timberlake concert . The insulting headline was especially a nice touch and consistent with Eric's long list of hateathion letters.

Zab was a great fighter who relied on his gifts too much. He never took the time to stick with his basics because his speed and reflexes were uncanny. To me he should've been trained by Floyd Mayweather Sr. I would've liked to see him train harder and stay more consistent with his mental conditioning. He was a great B level fighter was his career was over.

He was lightning fast but had terrible stamina.

Honestly he should have froids 0. Froid shoulda been disqualified for his uncle jumping inside the ring to pick a fight.

Molina got disqualified for his trainer just setting up the stool for his corner 3 seconds early against Kirkland.

Should have could have but nothing.

He wasn’t disqualified. Period.
If anything Zab started it all with the blatant two punches (to the groin and back of the head) and got what he deserved.

He knows. He’s just blinded by toxic hate.

Going in there and starting a fight with the other guy cause of an accidental low blow is definitely means for a dq lmfao moron bu but it was stopped

The ref knows more than you and his decision was final. How do you like them apples?

I don't think Zab is really underappreciated as much as he's "liked" more now as he's gotten older and more mature. I've seen him in some interviews where folks catch him at venues and he seems like he really mellowed the hell out. If I'm not mistaken, isn't he also a full time nurse or something as well? To me, that's bonkers that a fighter who has to have made a few millions at least would be working a full time "normal" job. Granted, we know it can happen to many fighters who squander all their money early.

So him being a bit more mellow and perhaps working a full time nursing gig would definitely win fans over who may have previously not liked him.
