Hate Him or Love Him - Zab's Got It Made
After losing to PBF I feel Zab although lost, has found his place in boxing. And I dont think its a bad place to be at.
Zab will never be the best, although I feel he will still win world Championships. Just not in anyones minds will he be the best.
What he does have to his advantage, is that he is still a massive draw. Either love the guy, or detest the guy, he has massive entertainment value.
You dont know what he is going to do next.
For me he is kind of like the new Arturo Gatti.
Good but not great, yet put on PPV's simply because of what he will bring....$$$
Gatti put on fights that have to be seen to be believed. He has etched his name in the memories of most boxing fans. Not because he is a true great, but because he had great fights and was 100% entrtainment value to watch.
The promoters were not stupid in putting him in massive fights, to have an all out war.
For me, Zab cant lose, he can make a lot of money riding on the fact that...nobody quite knows what he will do next.
The guy can fight, the guy will win big matches, but the guy also trash talks, does things out of the ordinary, and keeps you on the edge of your seats.
I admit not everyone will want to see him, and will be glad when he has gone, I suppose like gatti, if your a true "Boxing!" fan
But Zab can use all the hype and hysteria to make alot of money for himself, without truly being the best boxer around.
If he uses his mind, which he clearly cant half the time, he can have a major crack at a few more World Titles and a good run, but he will never seem to beat the very best.
Hatton wont want him, PBF doesnt need him.
Gatti Boldomir wont want him.
Cotto could possibley take his profile up, but then again, can Cotto beat Zab? Would be a good fight.
Either way, if Zab loses again, we expect him to because we are not quite sure which Zab will turn up.
Therefor Zab can get away with most things, as he has lost his IBF title twice, most likely get it back and still no-one can stop talking about him.
Zab Judah = 100% Entertainment value, whether its in the ring or not.
