Comments Thread For: Zab Judah – Older, Wiser, But is He Still Super?

[Russian Crushin]

He never was super. He's a talented fighter that lacks the intangible factors needed to deliver against the elite. Zab crumbles mentally when fights don't go his way. His stamina is terrible. And he can never mount a comeback when needed. He's had enough chances to prove himself and squandered all of them. He makes a good filler opponent for guys who are waiting for something better to come along, but any opportunity Zab had to be super is history.

Damn, you just took the words right outta my mouth. I agree 100%

Most skilled southpaw but lacks heart and focus.

I hope hope hope hope Eddie can get Judah focused. I think Judah should drop his father all together. Say, "thank you dad for everything but I have to go in a different direction." I hope Eddie can keep Judah focused 110% because that's all he needs.

huh??????????????

Judah has lost to a lot of good fighters in the past few years. He could still be a good fighter, but he's not durable. It's not out of the question he beats some of the top 140 pounders.

I think around the cotto fight, maybe just after,he started to become a gatekeeper.I would like to see him against ortiz to see how Vic deals with his style.

I always loved Zab but much like James Toney of the last 5-6 years hes just been disappointment after disappointment.

Zab had the skills to be as good as anyone and he showed flashes of that ability against Floyd,Cotto and Spinks but just could never put it together for an extended period of time.
I wish him luck though

I would like him to fight Khan I think that is a winnable fight for him.I think Ortiz stops him.

Pretty much spot on as far as I'm concerned.

Zab Judah is the greatest example of how the Americans can overrate such an average boxer and make him seem more special than he actually is.



All Judah ever going for him was that he was black and had fast hands.Any black boxer with fast hands gets the hype and is instantly compared to real greats of the past.



Most likely the most overrated fighter of the last decade.Stepped up in class many times and only succeeded once

Nah, Zab didn't live up to his potential.

Zab can fight alright , he is a disappointment..... but the dude can fight bro.

A focused Judah will always give an elite fighter some trouble, unfortunately he's never that focused, and he tends to lose focus as the fight goes on. to bad cause he had a lot of potential.
