    Coin toss on zab and Gamboa Leaning towards gamboa because zab was weak between the ears. Broner was just good. Nowhere near as talented as those 2.

      Cory spinks was a journeymen??

      Judah also beat witter which is much more impressive than beating demarco

        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."
        Listen, I'm not against a little clinch work, and rough house tactics on the inside, because I do agree that you have to know how to combat it, and even do it yourself, but what Hatton did wasn't normal boxing grappling, and clinching. He was on some UFC ish for that fight.

          Cory Spinks was essentially a journeyman WHEN JUDAH FOUGHT HIM. Yes.

          Witter was basically a bum when Judah fought him. Constantly going the distance, two draws...LOL...then fought a bunch of setups until he ran into a brick wall named Timothy Bradley.

          Bradley fought Witter at Witter's peak. THAT is a decisive win.


          Let's try this again. Name a fighter - SEASONED FIGHTER - that Zab Judah beat IN THEIR PRIME, DECISIVELY, that is a better fighter than Antonio DeMarco. You won't find any.

          Judah either beat them when they were bums, beat them when they were journeymen, or got beat by them.

              So was Grabomir Clinchko yet he continues to be heralded as one of the greatest Heavyweights.

              We can't have it both ways. I'd rather just say, if your opponent doesn't do anything to stop it, keep doing it.

              I remember Mills Lane once DQ'ng a guy for excessive clinching when he did a fraction of what Grabomir would do. I'm glad those days are gone.

                      I went with Zab Judah. There was a time when he had the potential to reign at the top. He still had a very good career but he could have been one of the best of his era. It's weird that Zab got stopped by Amir Khan later in his career. A prime Zab would have fncked Amir up bad.
