GL: My understanding is that Mayweather and Arum have agreed to their terms and now that you and King have come to terms, the fight appears to be a done deal as long as you take care of business of January 7. "Well, that's easy, it's on then. I'm ****ing happy right now, this is a dream come true. I love this ****, I'm going to be able to go to his backyard and beat the hell out of him, there ain't nothing to it, this is what I do."
GL: You lost your last two major fights in Vegas, other than the personal satisfaction you'd receive from beating Floyd, would a victory clean the slate of what happened to you in Vegas against Tszyu and Spinks as far as your concerned?
Zab Judah: "Definitely! I'm looking at this as an opportunity to redeem those situations and show the people who the best pound for pound figher in the world is. This is my opportunity; I know the mistakes I made in those fights and that's just made me a better more complete fighter coming into this fight. I'm older, I'm more mature and the stakes are higher. Whenever I'm rolling dice I always win there's the most money on the line and this fight ain't going to be no different."
GL: In your opinion, does a victory over Mayweather solidify you as the best pound for pound fighter in the world?
Zab Judah: "It's not just the victory, it's the way I plan on winning. After everyone sees what I do to Floyd there's no way you'll be able to say I'm not the best pound for pound fighter in the world. This is going to be an ass whooping right here. It's going to be a definite ass whooping! I don't care Mayweather talks about how he's going to knock me out or what happened with Kostya Tszyu. The bottom line is everyone who got in the ring with me after the Kostya Tszyu fight got the **** knocked out of them. Anyone who steps in there with me is going to get knocked out. Floyd Mayweather says he's going to knock me out, but I'm the king at welterweight, I'm the puncher here and if he doesn't respect he's going to be nice and sleepy don't worry about it!"
GL: Are you more concerned about suffering a cut or an injury than Baldomir than anything he brings to the table as far as skills are concerend?
Zab Judah: "The only thing I'm worried about on January 7 is going in there and taking care of business, that's it. I'm more inspired now to go in there and take care of business now that I know what's going to following that fight after I put Carlos to sleep. I'm not looking past Baldomir, I'm looking directly at him and I'm going to destroy him on January 7 and give my fans at the Garden what they want to see. After that I'm going to bust Floyd's ass on April 8 and give the entire boxing world what they've been wanting to see. Mayweather on his back! January 7 is going to be an explosive event, it's a homecoming for Zab "Super" Judah as undisputed welterweight champion and we're going to start the year off with a **** and then get everyone ready for April 8."
GL: Not to look past Baldomir, but do you think there's guys out there who could give you proper sparring to prepare for Mayweather?
Zab Judah: "Definitely. Mayweather's no puzzle. I got Mayweather's style down pact. I've been around Mayweather so long that he's my son, trust me. I mean that literally, he's my son. I got Mayweather figured out and this is going to look so easy for me."
GL: Will you temporarily unrevoke Floyd Mayweather's pass so that he could sit ringside at your January 7?
Zab Judah: "Now that we've got confirmation that he's getting his ass whooped on April 8, his revoked pass has been waived. He's now able to come to NYC and see what's going to happen to him first hand from ringside at the Garden. I'll let all the goons know, let him have his time and let him walk around. As long as he doesn't get ****** he is no longer revoked. Whooping his ass is worth a lot of money to me so nobody out here's going to to do anything to him."
GL: Even though this is a non title fight and none of your belts would be on the line come April 8, should the winner of your fight with Mayweather be considered the man at welterweight regardless of who's holding the belts?
Zab Judah: "Definitely. Being that I gave Floyd what he wanted, God forbid, Floyd Mayweather would win by whatever grace of God, should he be called the undisputed champion of the world? No. He didn't get the titles, but as a man, hell yeah the winner's going to be considered the man. But I'm telling you right now, there's no way Floyd Mayweather's going to beat me. It's going to be an ass whooping, trust me. Floyd think **** is a joke and thinks this is about boxing. Ain't no boxing here, welcome to the terrordome, I'm not playing with him and this is the real deal. He's talking about what he's going to do to me and where he's going to go from there, but his career is going to get put on hold come April 8. This is your last stop homey!"
GL: I know the deal, but can you tell **********.com readers what you bring to the table that none of Mayweather's previous opposition does?
Zab Judah: "Everybody out there and all of my fans on ********** know that I'm hungry. This is what I've been waiting for for years. I'm going to expose Pretty Girl like everyone wants him to be exposed. I know what it is and I'm going to give the entire industry what they want."
GL: Are you hoping that a victory over Mayweather leads to the HBO deal that has eluded you thus far?
Zab Judah: "It should, but I don't think it will. I could knock Mayweather out cold, I don't see HBO giving me no contract, I know what it is already, but eventually they're going to have to wake up and they do they're going to have to pay up! I want to let everyone on ********** know that my phone hasn't stopped ringing with people telling me how happy they are that Floyd's going to get his ass whooped on April 8. Tell Floyd, Ellerbe and all of them that the pass has been unrevoked and they are okay to come to NYC and watch my fight."
