Zab - Floyd, who are you ROOTING for?

[JDizzle79]

I don't root for either of these thugs, but Floyd is ripe for an upset and ducked this fight last year. On paper it's all Floyd, but Zabby seems to be geared up for this and may well score an early KO.

all you people who think like this are gonna be posting excuses for a month after he loses

I'm rooting for PBF and I know he's going to finish Judah as he will destroy Hatton

Zab Will Get Anihilated!!! Kill This Thread Now!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh really?

Is that because Floyd has a weak chin? Is it because he's inferior to Judah skill wise? Is it because he's beaten worse opposition than Judah? Why is he ripe for an upset, and how exactly will Judah knock him out.

Is it one of the reasons I named?

What excuse? Zab is a nothing champ in history and Floyd is the hyped current p4p champ. Worse upsets have occurred, and the guy who pushed for this fight for 2 yrs and finally got it is Zabby. If Floyd wins, well he was expected. If Zabby wins, it means Floyd has been overrated and will have every journeyman on the planet calling him out for a scalp on their record.

The difference between us is that you think it etched in stone that Floyd wins. I wouldn't be surprised a bit if he wins, but I can see he's ripe for an upset. You thought Zab would beat Baldy too. Upsets happen for a reason. We will see what your excuse is if one happens.

Uh Oh... I may have a change of opinion...Judah WINS over Mayweather by KO

I said on 01-26-2006 that..

"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."

Well part of that is true that I picked Baldomir to beat Zab and he did. The rest about Judah having no chance I now disagree with and here is why...




It's all about size, speed and punching power. In this fight Judah has the natural size, speed, and punch to dominate the smaller Mayweather.

Over the course of the last two years Judah has matured not only physically, but mentally as well. He's coming in focused on a seek-and-destroy mission in this fight in order to prove that the Baldomir loss was a fluke. Judah had the same mindset in the second Cory Spinks fight, but more than that he's finally grown into a true welterweight and you can tell by his performance in the second Spinks fight. Judah practically manhandled Spinks, who is still one of the 30 best fighters in the world.

It takes a while to grow into a new division and coming into the first Spinks fight Judah had never fought as a welterweight and he still had enough to hurt Spinks and keep the fight close. Some people might feel that the distractions associated with fighting in front of his hometown are what affected Spinks' performance in the second fight, but I think it had more to do with the fact that Judah had almost year to acclimate himself to the weight, unlike Mayweather, who really hasn't had enough time to acclimate himself to 140 pounds, much less 147.

Beside the natural size advantage over Mayweather, Judah hits a lot harder and has always been stronger than Mayweather. And even though Mayweather will still have an edge in speed, his advantage in that category will be considerably less than at any point in his career.

Seriously, who has Mayweather faced that's faster than Judah? Also, when looking at fights, it's good to look at fighter's weaknesses and strengths and Judah's one true weakness is his chin. He's been knocked down by Jan Bergman, Terron Millett, Spinks, and was knocked out by Kostya Tzsyu. Judah was also stunned by Baldomir, but Baldomir might even be able to pack a bigger punch than Mayweather at 147. Mayweather can't even crack an egg. That's probably the only department where he's lacking and it's really going to show at welterweight.

He won't be able to hurt Judah and Judah is going to be in there throwing bombs without worrying too much about what's coming his way. And that's why I think Mayweather-Judah is a great fight.

Zab shows up in shape and often overwhelms his opponents with an intimidating mixture of speed, power, and punching angles.

But just as quickly as he’s dazzling does something strange happen: he begins that frustrating fall into dreamland. What he is thinking about we don’t know, but in an instant he can snap out of his daze with a vengeance; like a sleeping baby awaken by a loud noise.

Jose Luis Castillo gave Mayweather all kinds of trouble because he was able to match Floyd in one major department: focus. Zab’s major weakness is a lack of focus but ironically he can match Mayweather in the speed and reflex category like no one else. And he also has a decided power edge.

Think about it: DeMarcus Corley rocked Floyd a few times and he isn’t as quick as Judah. All in all, Judah’s physical ability could trouble the sport’s best fighter to a degree he has not yet experienced. For years Roy Jones Jr. got away with fighting boxers who simply were not as fast as him. What if he had someone to match his speed during his prime? Would he have been able to cope?

I believe that Zab Judah has a great chance to win this fight. And not just win but shock Mayweather with a quick stoppage. If he attacks early and hard, maybe he gets Floyd to return fire and catches him flush with that left hand.

For Mayweather this fight is just business because he has always won every fight and expects to win.

Zab Judah now has the missing ingredient which is pure focus to add to his speed, power, and natural strength advantage. Zab Judah in this fight has the desperateness of a cornered cat, motivation to avenge his recent loss, heal his wounded pride and put his career back on track.


My New Prediction: Judah WINS by KO over Mayweather

[Easy-E]

floyd has power at welter, and corley "rocked" floyd once with one lucky looping punch

[opethdrums]

i can't say i want zab to win or think he will, but i think he has more of a chance than most people

How do you know he has power at 147?

What has he exactly done at 147 that makes you think he's a power puncher? Mitchell would have been DESTROYED by Cintron or Margarito.

If Corley could rock Floyd at 140, I'm sure Judah can do much worse at 147...

I don't want Judah to win this fight, but I'm just stating the facts.
