    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

      Shawn Porter doesn't have the embarrassing losses that Zab has

      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.

        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.

            Floyd didnt struggle with Zab. Floyd had him figured out by the 4th round and cruised after that.

                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?

                  Zab should go into the Hall of Fame for "The Best Chicken Dance "

                      I saw him in Boca Raton like 3 years ago and he looked like he was in shape.
