snuffbox 0 Report post Posted December 24, 2005 I think Zab has the best chance of anyone yet of beating PBF...he has the power advantage and his technical skills are pretty underrated. I do think Floyd will win, but Id put cash on Zab if the odds hover over 3-1... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Agent of Oblivion Report post Posted December 25, 2005 Floyd's just blindingly fast, though. Not to mention viciously accurate. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
snuffbox 0 Report post Posted December 25, 2005 I think Zab can at least come close to matching PBF's speed...certainly not the accuracy though. To me, this fight is as intriguing as De La Hoya-Trinidad was and I can only hope its better than that fight turned out to be. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Agent of Oblivion Report post Posted December 25, 2005 Floyd/Hatton would be killer. Hatton fights dirtier than shit, and that could take PBF off his game. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
snuffbox 0 Report post Posted December 25, 2005 Zab has a far greater chance of beating PBF than Hatton... The way Floyd embarassed Arturo Gatti showed he shouldn't have much trouble with a thinskinned slugger like Hatton. Zab has some of the same attributes as Jose Luis Castillo (the one fighter to really test PBF) only bigger, stronger, faster but less cagey. Now, if Zab were to somehow beat Floyd...Hatton-Zab would be classic stuff. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dh86 0 Report post Posted December 28, 2005 I think the only way Floyd loses in his prime (right now) is to a fighter thats the opposite to him...Zab is too smiliar to Floyd without the power Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

snuffbox 0 Report post Posted January 21, 2006 The fight is still on. Judah will probably be taking a paycut, and it will still be on ppv. I have no idea why anyone would pay money to see this...Zab was hurt by the soft-hitting Baldomir and with that loss this is no longer a 'superfight'. This could be more one-sided than the PBF-Gatti massacre. Next this year for PBF - Oscar De La Hoya or Ricky Hatton. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lt. Al Giardello 0 Report post Posted January 22, 2006 Judah took Baldomir too lighty, he wont make the mistake againest Floyd. Look at his 2 fights with Cory Spinks, 1st fight Judah took Spinks lightly and lost a desicion, 2nd fight he dominated Spinks. I still think Floyd knocks him out though. But I will say this, I'd rather this fight then another Floyd againest a tomato can. Floyd Vs. Hatton wont happen until the fall, because Hatton wants a tune up, so I'm all for this fight.

snuffbox 0 Report post Posted January 23, 2006 The most important things we learned from the Baldomir fight were that Zab has a truly bad chin (getting ko'd by Tszyu aint bad...but Baldo isnt a really hard hitter) and a lack of heart. If you cant prepare for a fight (any fight) then it shows that no matter what the guy might say...hes just not in it all the way. $50 for this shit is ridiculous...bring on the PacMans, Castillos, Cottos, and later this year Ricky Hatton.

Lt. Al Giardello 0 Report post Posted January 23, 2006 Are you suggesting Mayweather Vs. Pac-Man? That would just be an massacare. Floyd is too fast, too skilled, and is pretty much an natural lightwelterweight now so that makes him to big. That fight would be more lopsided then Judah-Mayweather. Miguel Cotto aint ready for Floyd yet, give him a few more fights, Castillo-Floyd already happen twice, 1st fight was close, but Floyd already proved he was the better fighter the 2nd fight.

snuffbox 0 Report post Posted January 24, 2006 No, not PBF-Pac...bring on fights that feature guys like Pacquiao, Castillo, Cotto, etc. And later in the year, hopefully, a big Hatton fight(vs PBF). Fuck Zab. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lt. Al Giardello 0 Report post Posted January 24, 2006 Floyd Vs. Hatton IS the fight the public wants to see, and problay will happen in the fall. But in all honesty, I'd rather see Floyd fight Judah, then some tomato can like another Gatti or Mitchell. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
snuffbox 0 Report post Posted January 24, 2006 Zab 'should' definitly be more competitve than Gatti or shopworn Sharmba were...too bad HBO plans to charge 50$ for it though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lt. Al Giardello 0 Report post Posted April 9, 2006 Mayweather dominated Judah. Judah got out to a good start, but Floyd adjusted and nailed Judah with body shots and right hands. Judah showed his true class when he lowblowed Mayweather and hit him in the back of the head. Luckly no riot occured, despite Roger Mayweather getting ejected because he ran into the ring after Zab did that. I have trouble seeing anyone beating Floyd, espically because he can adapt to any style. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lt. Al Giardello 0 Report post Posted April 9, 2006 fight went exactly like how I thought it would...hopefully Floyd dont duck Cotto or Hatton What do you mean, duck? Cotto's people know that Cotto is not ready for Floyd, and would likely get embarassed. And Hatton's people said that they want to wait unitl 2007 to fight Floyd. Floyd is likely going to move up to lightmiddleweight to fight Oscar De La Hoya, if he makes it past Mayorga. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Floyd, but Floyd shouldn't have to wait for Hatton. Hatton's people stated they don't want to fight him until 2007. Mayweather has different plans, he wants to fight De La Hoya, and Winky Wright after. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
