Why the HELL is Zab Judah even being considered for Manny Pacquiao?

[Scott9945]

About as much as Clottey,Margarito & Mosley did.

At least two of those guys had already beaten Judah before they fought Pacquiao. Zab has been one of boxing's most overrated fighters for at least 10 years now.

He's a Mayweather leftover, of course. It is obvious what Team Pac is doing, have as many common opponents with Mayweather as they can, while trying to beat them in a better fashion, although older and not considered half the threat they were when Floyd fought them.

That's true,but what I don't get is how did the Mosley fight backfire so cold,then his hood somehow finds a way to blame Mosley.

Any fighter with speed+power is dangerous for Amir. But after the first couple of rounds Amir is gonna start beating Zab up real good.

I agree i do see Khan winning but for the first few rounds Zab will be very dangerous.

What does beating Judah years ago have to do with him being discussed for supposedly boxing's greatest fighter now though??

Cotto,Margarito and Clottey are 3 guys Floyd would avoid fighting at all costs. I do agree that team Pac is trying to beat all of Floyds opponents in more impressive fashion than Floyd did though.

What has Zab done to get a shot at Manny? Please somebody explain this to me.

I'm not even talking about what Zab has done recently but what has he ever done for him to be considered fighting Manny.

I know Manny and Arum like to fight fighters coming off poor performances but this potential Zab fight is on a whole new low level.

Please somebody explain to me why Zab is being considered?

What did Clottey, Margarito, and Mosley do to get a shot at Wapakman? Judah is old and shot that's why Wapakman and co are considering him.

I'm waiting to see what the PPV results for the Pac-Mosley fight are. If it has really sold 1.2 mill PPVs as Arum says, then it means that Pac can fight anyone he wants. If you can sell 1.2 mill PPVs against a shot fighter than it means you have become so big that your opposition doesn't even matter. Zab Judah? Sure.

And this whole concept of 'deserving' **** in boxing exists in the fantasy of some boxing fans. Don't you know your sport?

Like Cotto, Margarito and Clottey?

If this fight gets made, it'll be because of the money, same reason as the Mosley fight was made. It's nothing to do with Mayweather and everything to do with the $$$.

And wazaa, Judah is the last guy you should want Khan to fight, he has the power and handspeed to finish him early just like Prescott, bad match-up for Khan.

Because Judah still has no wins which qualify him for such a high level fight. I can see Khan or JMM for him, but he has no credentials to fight Pacquiao. The other three at least had the size and strength adavantage. No way Judah can be competitive with Pacquiao, and unlie the others he won't even come close to going the distance.
