Why is/was Zab Judah ever so highly rated?

[chirorickyp]

4 great rounds against Floyd to begin a fight is pretty amazing. Then Floyd really raised his whole career to a new level after getting mugged at the end of round 4 with the low blow. Uncle Roger snapped in a legendary moment and Floyd became Money instead of Pretty. Life changing for both fighters

Oooo different way of looking at things

Zab also did better than manny when faced with Floyd

[Real King Kong]

He was highly touted coming out of the amateurs. That’s where the lofty expectations he never quite lived up to came from. He’s a multi division champion and an undisputed champion...not bad at all. Right there he achieved more than 90% of fighters who ever laced me up.

Floyd kicked Zab's @ss and he kicked Marquez's @ss for every minute of their fight. He did nothing offensively against Manny in the most important fight in the last 40 years. The whole world was p(ssed off. A black eye for the sport that he could have stopped from happening but he chose to be safe when he could have risen to the highest level of stature. He blew it.

People NEVER stopped holding on to him beating Cory Spinks to become undisputed welterweight champion as some kind of proof that he had finally figured it out. So every time he let people down afterwards, they never stopped saying "if the Judah who beat Spinks shows up..."

He's not too different from Khan in that regard, except Khan at least has some solid wins over better opponents than Judah ever beat.

how many of you keyboard warriors ever won a world title let alone undisputed title

Flashes of brilliance, glimpses of greatness.

Zab was a excellent world-class fighter

Zab did more offensively VS Floyd than manny did

Sneaking that Str8 left hand in

Knocking Floyd down with right hook

Landing some inside body shots

Hitting Floyd once or twice with left uppercut

Zab made Floyd work to figure him out

Floyd had manny under control and in the bag right from the opening bell

Zab would've beaten Cotto if not for the blatant low blows.

but when he lost to Baldomir that crushed me as a Zab fan back then lol. his fight vs Floyd was supposed to be for the undisputed welterweight championship. Zab ruined history, that fight was supposed to have so much meaning.

[STREET CLEANER]

He was a solid top fighter. Too bad that he did not have that mental toughness at times.

His fights were fun and he was good to watch because of some of the God given talents he had. A credible name at those weight classes that he fought.
