Poor Training Regiment or Too Bigheaded = The Downfall of Zab Judah

[Jim Tom]

I was thinking...Zab was one of my favorite fighters to watch...he was exciting, he was mouthy (in a entertaining non-disrespectful way), he had boxing ability and had a killer instinct.

He appeared in Hip Hop videos (Jay-Z - Do it Again) and had name recognition....

So what is the explanation for the downfall of one of the most talented fighters of our generation....losing to fighters he shouldn't have lost to (Kosta and Baldomir)....yet showing great heart and determination against fighters he was expected to lose against (Cotto and Clottey)....then totally lose his mind on the biggest stage of his career (Floyd).

It just doesn't add up...and that's why I have come to the conclusion that it has to be either of the two.

I'd like to see what others think about Zab...please refrain from dissing Zab as overrated and a chump....becuase you don't just GET to fight all the above fighters by chance....you EARN the shot.

All play and no work makes Judah a losing boy.He doesnt have a good team either and DOn King didnt help.If Judah trained like a pro he would be the best fighter today because Judah has the speed and real power.What lacks is conditioning which is the reason his body prepares to die the moment he gets hit.

Cotto is another unconditioned fighter.His 2 hour training times are not enough.

skillwise, he's got it all imo.....great offense,decent defense...but judah lacks heart and determination!

whats his current training reg?

[Jim Tom]

whats his current training reg?

He started off by running 3.5 miles then increased it to 5.5 miles four weeks before the fight.He does sit ups a lot but he actually struggles to maintain his rythym.When he gets on the heavy bag he hits with one shot,dances around like a tired person to regain his breath whilst praising himself then throws another shot.He obviously does quite a lot of training but his conditioning is terrible.

Ive always thought that Zab was equal to Floyd in physical ability, but didnt have the focus. He allows himself to be pulled into other fighters gameplans, he is too easily distracted, and by time he gets the mental part down he will likely be past his physical prime.
