Hwo did "Super Zab" reach mainstream success so quickly???

[Head-Butter]

It seems like as soon as he turned pro he was part of mainstream. Kinda weird since he never even made olympics.

Then u compare him to floyd. PBF took a LOOONG time to get any real recognisation. Why be that???????

Don't tell me floyd was not entertaining enough. Just go have a look at his fights 130/135/140!!!!

new york hype.
before he stepped up he had a fairly entertaining style as well. incredibly fast hands and legit 1 punch ko power.

Believe it or not ..Zab was incredibly and still is very gifted..he has blazin spped, Power, and he was a south paw..Those combos can be unstoppable as long as u have a decent chin or great defense..Zab was mayweather with gatti fighting syle..that's how he was so popular..I wouldn't call it hype cause he was good..his chin and focus just turned out to be poor...he is still world class just not elite

[TOBYLEE1]

Before he turned Pro the Judah family had a lot of good fighters and were known within the boxing circles in the tri-state area. A lot of opportunities came from this and Judah has talent (but no dicipline)

zab has just this beatiful style, he was/is talented as hell. he's just 1 slick southpaw and is very gifted!

love watchin his fights makes it look EASY!

[Earl-Hickey]

Zab is one of the most talented fighters in recent years, the shame of it is that his mindset just isn't right.

His chin isn't great, but if he had a good head on those talented shoulders it wouldn't matter, his assets would offset that problem.

Sadly though he has wasted his talent, it's criminal really.

[joeboy1983]

yea, I agree, I get so tired of people on here saying he's a bum..the truth is..because mayweather beat him, people just assume he has to be a bum cuz they dislike mayweather and try to discount him..I even think that with the right trainer and something to prove, Zab could make 140 and unify atleast 2 belts, I don't know if he caould beat bradley now, but he is still very talented. one punch changed his whole career..from Kosta..he could have rebounded harder and possiblty won a rematch and fought a trilogy but he just mentally went the other way....u guys should go watch some early u tube fight of him.

Zab with JCC heart, scratch that, any kind of heart = ATG, HOF fighter.

[Doctor_Tenma]

He was being compared to Pernell Whitaker.
