    As we like to say about Chocolatito it's easy to look dominant and amazing against straight up bums over a decade.


    Meanwhile Broner has quality names on his resume from 2011 onward and only recently has started screwing up. Skillwise, a focused Broner stops Judah worse than Tszyu did.
    I'm talking purely of their talent in the ring, and Broner never had any real names on his resume before he started to lose. He just fought way way smaller opponents. At leas you can say Zab never had mismatches on that level.

    And dude, Kostya could catch anyone with that right hand. He's one of the greatest ever at disguising his punches. Bambi shot? Really? And Kostya was NOT well past his sell date.....WTF......

    That fight was looked upon as the best vs the best, and one of those slickster vs puncher type matches. You don't remember the hype going into that fight?

    You're basically saying Broner's resume was better than Zab's, when Broner not only had a who gives a crap type of resume, but they were much smaller. At least Zab was knocking dudes out left and right, that were around his size.

    And if there was a fighter out of the 3, you wished would live up to the hype, it was easily Zab. The guy literally fought like a young Mike Tyson in a smaller frame.

      In terms of talent it was Zab and Gamboa. In terms of superstar potential it was Broner.

        I'd go with Gamboa, Zab then Broner.

            2. Zab

            3. Broner- broner would never bear someone like Cory spinks 04
            Agree with you both. And yeah, Gamboa had talent and ability that is about as rare as they come. A complete waste.

              Name one guy better than DeMarco on Judah's DECISIVE win list. And don't you dare say Cory Spinks who was a straight up journeyman when they fought.

                Tszyu went down to fighting once a year after beating Judah and faced setups until Hatton brutalized him into retirement. You can't compare the Tszyu that fought Judah against the one that beat Uncle Roger. No, Judah fought ****** and got caught.

                  LMAO Hatton didn't brutalize a damn thing. He mauled him with wrestling, and cheap ass little rabbit punches. It didn't even look like a boxing match.

                    At some point you people need to understand that a fighter's job is to NOT allow their opponent to do that to them. We need to stop whining about roughhouse tactics, Mills Lane is retired and ill. Those days are gone.

                    Don't want to get wrestled? Do something about it. He didn't. Manny didn't. Choco didn't. That's their fault.

                    "No matter how...you...cut it, slice it or weigh it, he LOST to Ricky Hatton."

                      Judah had the most potential and lived up to it more than both Gamboa and Broner.

                      Gamboa showed talent 50% of the time. But everytile he stepped up he seem to lose that specialness.

                      1. Judah
                      2. Gamboa
                      3. Broner
                      lol...yea it was hard for me to because i love Gamboa and Broner..but Judah was on another level in my opinion..
