Again, this is unbelievable! Mayweather-Judah still on for April!

[masterdirector]

I was just using Chico's combos has an example. I wasn't saying that he's more skilled than Castillo.

Diego has short arms though, especially for a 6 foot tall guy. He just wanted to smother Castillo and not let him get his shots off. Castillo flipped the script in the 2nd fight because he was moving in and out.

These guys are world-class fighters and are extremely skilled. You have to admit, it's just not a style you like. Which is cool.
But every fighter has to play to his strengths. Corrales happens to be his punching power. So he's either going to walk you down, a la Frietas, or stand inside, Castillo.

It's kind of unfair to compare every fighter to Floyd because he's a boxing genius. But the whole "in the pocket" thing wouldn't suit Corrales strengths. He has to use whats there for him.

I disagree with how skilled they are. athletic, sure. strong, definitely. skilled? limited skill. both guys just come forward and throw punches. neither are very calculated. neither are very accurate. both has horrible, sometimes non-existant, defense. yeah, they're skilled compared to club fighters and journeymen of course, but compared to many other good fighters, they're limited.

you're right, Floyd Mayweather is the top guy, it isn't fair to say someone sucks b/c they're not as good. it is similiar to saying someone sucks because he isn't as good as Michael Jordan at basketball.

Judah has no 0% chance of beating Mayweather. I picked Baldomir to beat Zab and he did. This fight will just be another LOSS for Judah and I predict by KO.

ok, the match still being on, doesnt really suprise me. the match being on PPV DOES suprise me, it also disgusts me. we all know zab judah is a fraud and is nowhere near p4p caliber like floyd. this fight should not happen, should not matter, and most importantly, should NOT be on PPV.

ive heard of rip-offs, but this is ridiculous!

[Manny_P]

I aint buyin this PPV, but shyt imagine if Judah DOES beat Floyd.

EvilSaint, I like you so this isn't a shot directly at you although it seems that way. My question if everyone hates this fight...THEN WHY TALK ABOUT IT? IF EVERYONE THINKS ZAB JUDAH IS A FRAUD, THEN WHY IS ANYONE TALKING ABOUT HIM? I keep seeing the same people saying the same thing over again about this fight. If you really wanted to teach Don King and Bob Arum a lesson then simply don't order it and stop talking about it. Your giving them what they want! Its almost like people that believe its a bad fight have to keep establishing it over and over again to make themselves feel better. Alright I'm sure everyone that goes to these boards understands now, everyone hates Judah now and the fight sucks in everyones eyes besides me and maybe two or three others. No need to keep repeating...lol

I know this is a message board, but people have already their point this, and they just keep repeating. It gets a little bit annoying after a while...

If Hatton fights Castillo and Cotto this year then he has automatically achieved more than PBF, and should be regarded higher in the P4P rankings (that is, if this fight goes ahead)...

If you think about it.

Hatton
- Tszyu
- Maussa
- Mandatory (Ben Rabah isnt it?)
- Castillo
- Cotto

Is way way way better than

Mayweather
- Gatti
- Bruseles
- Mitchell
- Mandatory (Witter)
- Zab Judah

That is, if the plans are correct, and if indeed PBF DOES fight Zab and Hatton DOES fight Castillo and Cotto this year like he said he would....

In fact Hatton could still fit in PBF, right at the end of 2006 if he does that, and if he destroys all 3, im sorry, but he will be simply... the .... best.

part of the reason why people talk about it is because it shouldve boasted two of the top p4p fighters in the world going head to head for a title.

but much like hopkins/jones, this is a great fight that could not have been made at a worse time. judah has been exposed and has lost 2 of his 3 titles. that eliminates more than half of the luster that this fight once had.

we talk about it cuz we feel cheated. it couldve been a great fight, but it also couldve been made under much better circumstances.

Well Boxrec has the fight listed for the IBF welterweight title. Seems convienant since the IBF chose to let Judah keep it's title despite losing to Baldomir. Money hungry for sanctioning fee's looks like!

I hear you, but I still think its a good match up. Its just not a great one anymore.

[DIEGO DA HITMAN]

WHOAAA! That's an awfully bold statement.

I see your reasoning as far Floyd's boxing brilliance. But if the Corrales/Castillo PPV was on the same night as Mayweather/Mitchell which would you watch?

Damn good point. Unfortunately, big names are what sells a PPV, so this one will make plenty, but good fights don't always make that much. Look at how ****ty Tyson is, and then look at the # of buys, then look at a good matchup like Corrales-Castillo, and I guarantee the Tyson fight makes 10 times as much on PPV... ridiculous.
