Will Floyd have an easier time with Zab than Diego?

Honestly, I couldnt even take a guess, but if I had to bet, I'd put my money on Floyd. Zab should have went for the KT rematch, even though I think he'd lose that as well.

As a huge fan of Corrales and Judah, I gotta believe Judah will do better than Corrales simply because Mayweather is at least somewhat afraid of Judah. They'll be VERY conservative for the first 3-4 rounds, but I think Mayweather is gonna win a decision after putting Judah down a couple times. Expect mad fireworks late in the fight, especially if Judah has been down. We all saw what Judah did to Spinks after realizing the danger he was in during the 12th round. The tension surrounding this fight will be insane.

Judah is fast as hell and can box too. Corrales has neither of those attributes going for him on the same level as Judah. Remember Corrales didn't try to box Mayweather at all. He was headhunting the whole fight, but he wasn't fast enough to land his money punch on Floyd. Judah might have more luck. I also think if Floyd gets floored, he'll get up like Roy, but be waved off like Roy as well.

Coralles isn't in the same league as judah in the legs department, Judah moves much better. I think PBF-Judah will be a great fight, and I think PBF will be tagged somewhere in the fight. For me it's a pickum.

Yeah its hard to do much worse than Diego given that he was shutout of every round and hit the canvas 5 times. That said, Diego did hit the body well but it was speed that he lacked and that killed him. Judah won't have that problem. This will be a great fight

no way,

diego cannot box (relative to other champs) and has a serious problem in defending himself,

judah can box, he is a lefty and very fast

I'm looking forward to Zab/Floyd like everyone else. But when I was driving home, I heard on ESPN radio a brief mention about negotiations.

I then thought of Floyd/Diego and realize the similarities between Zab and Diego.

*Strong punches
*weak jaws

Zab hasn't been down as much as Diego but his he hasn't fought as many top fighters as him either.

I think if Floyd lands solidly it will be lights out for Zab. Diego was hit with quick, short punches by Floyd and went down but was never really hurt.

Terron Millet hurt Judah. Spinks knocked down Judah. Took two fights for Zab to figure Spinks out.

Remember on Friday Night Fights Max Kellerman had to sit between Zab and Millet, because they really hated each other. And from the pre-fight interviews, Zab has that same disdain for Mayweather it seems. I can see pride/confidence hurting Zab like it did with Diego in a sense because Floyd really got under the skin of Diego with the whole wife-beater insults at the press conferences.

I see Floyd cruising to an lopsided win, but it won't be easy. Sharmba hit Floyd with some good shots in their matchup a month ago. I can only imagine what some of those shots will do to Floyd.

they are similar, but i believe zab will be tougher because hes faster than corrales. floyd will tko zab imo however

To be fair, Zab's harder to hit than Chico. And if Tszyu's right hand didn't render Zab unconscious, I doubt that Floyd could turn his lights out.

I had a dream last night and Judah got KTFO by Floyd.
It seems like my dreams never come true.
Therefore, I'm going with Zab to KTFO Floyd.

I think Zab is totally different fighter after Kostya fight,
and he gets stronger and punches harder as he moves up in weight.
Floyd is great but he will get knocked out IMO.

Will Floyd have an easier time with Zab than Diego?
