    Zab Judah-How would you rate his career?

    It seems zab career might be over or at least almost over. I have not seen him fight in awhile. If it is indeed over how do you rate him?
    Is he an ATG or HOF in your opinion?
    I would like your thoughts...............

    Nice initial spark, but went to turmoil after that. His sore loser mentallity lost him a lot of credibility. He was a solid journeyman before Khan beat him like he was chewing gum in Singapore.

      He shouldn't have moved up to 147lb. Anyway, I'd probably give his career a C: notable accomplishments, gave a good account for himself against an ATG (Mayweather) and HOF (Cotto).

        Underwhelming considering his natural talent.

          One of the more underrated boxer but by his own account. With some many natural gifts and talent he lacked the disappline to become Great. He had the ability/skills/gifts to of had a ATG career but allowed it to become a possibly forgettable career down the line.

            Nothing but a bum. A good bum though.

              The list of opponents itself speaks for itself.... But the fights he should have won he lost, other fights the opponent was just too much and often seemed to no longer have the drive yet continued to fight.

                He was a great 6 round fighter.

                  Zab should have hooked up with Ariza in his prime.

                    Zab had a fine career,,, no he didn't end up living up to the huge hype that he had as a prospect in the late 90s, but 99% of fighters would kill to have a career like zab's..

                    Multiple time champion at 140 with title reigns over a 10 year period

                    Lineal welter champ

                    Major fights with tszyu, khan, cotto, floyd, danny, spinks


                    Best wins Ward, Corley, Spinks, witter

                    Zab isn't a hall of famer, but is probably one of the most successful non HOF careers ever
