Paul Williams will be looking to rebuild but September may be too soon.

What are the odds for Judah vs Williams in December though

[SalTheButcher]

if williams gets KTFO by margarito he probably will want none of judah, if he gets a close decision loss then maybe he will want judah, and judah will fight anyone, especially a guy who is ranked as high as williams would be at that point

One think I'll say about Judah, he's never been one to dodge the big fights.

judah v tszyu II

will happen.

[THE THIRD MAN]

Tszyu will never fight again, why would he comeback to fight a guy who hasn't won a fight in over two years and who he knocked out in two rounds in his previous fight with him?
If Tszyu did comeback it would be against a bigger fish than Zab Judah.

[NuthaPug]

I doubt Kostya will return to the ring, but if he did, I'm not sure that starting with Judah would be so out of the question. It would not be the easiest of warm-up fights for Tzyu, and I don't think it would be a given that Judah would lose to him.

Tzyu was always one of my favorite boxers - next to Hopkins - but I'm not sure there is any point in a serious return to boxing for him now. If he were to return, however, I'd like to see him fight Judah. It would probably be a far different fight than the first time out. Would be interesting. I know Zab would welcome it. I think Tzyu has too little respect for Judah to fight him again, though.

He's never been one to win them either

Make no mistake Judah is a threat to anyone out there. He has all the tools. It seems as though he has a tendancy to unravel mentally & that's usually his downfall IMO. But all it takes is one night that he shows up & keeps it together & he will deal most guys in the world a beating.

I like Zab as a fighter & I do hope that he can get another big name fight & fulfill his potential. Even if it's only 1 fight.

Eh, not really. Definitely not to the truly elite guys.

[El Gamo]

Is it premature to say that Judah could be used by others to showcase their skills? I'd like to see guys like Berot,Julio fight him at some point. However,I think Judah will have a tune up and fight Cintron for the IBF title.Or he will fight the loser of Tony PW. I'd favour both Cintron and Williams over him. Too big,too strong.

Let's see. Judah........

1. Got careless and got KO'd by Tszyu, after totally dominating the first round.

2. Lost to a hard-fighting Baldomir who Judah TOTALLY underestimated and fought one of the worst fights of his career.

3. Lost to PBF (the # 1 p4p in the world) by decision, after taking it to him early in the fight.

4. Lost a war to Cotto, an up-and-coming, undefeated WW star.


In my book, Judah is still a threat to any WW out there today.
And mind you, I'm not a Judah fan.

All losses though.

The Tsyzu fight he did well in the first round and then absolutely nothing the second round, got KO'd at the end.

Any truly elite fighter should have no real problem with Baldo IMO. Maybe I underrate him but he's just not that good to me.

Yes he did do pretty well early against PBF but as usual faded as the fight went on. One thing if you watch enough fights with Judah he almost always fades, at least to some extent. The one fight he didn't was against Cory Spinks, a better fighter than Judah IMO but a perfect matchup, a guy with absolutely no power and a guy that Judah could take the fight too.

I didn't find the Cotto fight to be nearly as close as most people did. I thought it was pretty much a beatdown after the first round or two.

Judah is what he is. A good puncher, although not as good as some make him out to be, and great speed. Great athlete, but his technical skills are way overrated, anybody with that much athletic ability should be MUCH harder to hit. He's not good against pressure fighters at all which is odd considering the tools and style that he has. Also mental problems are a problem, there not just something that's going to go away.

Is he going to get any better? Not likely, he's a guy that if matched right can look great. He always looks good early, then fades, its just what he does. I guess he's a threat in the sense that he can punch but that hasn't been enough against the top guys. And I don't see any reason to think it will be different in the future.

I've always though he was overrated, and I think he continues to be overrated even after its become clear he's a step below the top guys, which is confusing to me. I gained more respect for him after the Cotto fight but just don't think he's an elite fighter.

These guys sure fight more after they lose. Almost as though losing makes it so that if they fight alot more they will have less to lose when and if they lose again. He should take a break after the Cotto fight.

its just wrong to say something as horrible as julio being able to beat him
