Why Does Judah Keep Getting Chances When He Doesn't Deserve Them ??

Seeing the thread about Oscar vs Judah in the works and im just getting tired of Judah getting chances over and over again when other fighters in Welterweight division deserve these shots way more than Judah does anyone else agree ??

Name recognition. Many people have heard of Zab Judah who are casual fans. Plus the sincere fans usually want to see him get knocked out so he draws those too!

I concur with both of the above.

It's all down to name recognition I'm afraid.

It's the same thing that kept Mike Tyson's name up in lights, a full FIFTEEN years after his prime years! :-X

The name recognition along with the fact any fight with Judah will either be good or have drama....either way it sells tickets......sadly enough in boxing at times ticket sales are more important then anything...Eventually he will be used up and gone for good...we hope

Zab has gotten chances in the past because he has a big name, and no matter what people say, he is an exciting fighter who many people (including myself) enjoy watching. That's why he got shots against guys like Mayweather and Cotto. In the Cotto fight, it was also because Zab is from Brooklyn, which was a big selling point since the fight was in NY at Madison Square Garden. He had a lot more drawing power in his hometown than someone like Margarito or Clottey would have.

If he fights DLH, then this is basically the same situation as the DLH-Mayorga fight. Oscar wants an opponent who has name recognition, but who should also be an opponent that Oscar can look good against and beat by KO. I don't think people should complain about Zab getting a shot against Oscar, it's not for a title belt and Oscar is the one handpicking the opponent, it's not like Zab getting a shot is robbing someone else of a shot.

I got tired of this guy a while back; though I still watch him fight hoping someone will put him to sleep. His name draws fans, so I guess it's good for boxing that way. I wish he'd fight some guys like Margarito or Williams, maybe Berto or Cintron, so their names can be more recognized. He'll be a regular contributor to FNF's next season I'm guessing.

if your talking about oscar, then iono y he chose judah to fight.

maybe he wants a warm up fight with a NAME, which will lead to a title fight with the winner of cotto vs. mayweather/hatton?

lol iono but i like zab judah i think he still has sumthing to prove, u guys are just to down on him

I was tired of Judah the very first time I saw him interviewed.

But as a boxer, he's a wasted talent as has been expounded time and time again.

I concur with SweatPea's comments.

Zab's a skilled boxer who really should have a shot against ... well, at least provide a very competitive fight with Oscar. Oscar's been in the position for a while that he's not fighting to establish a legacy. That's been done. Now he can fight if he wants. who he wants, when he wants. For money, for the sport of it. If Oscar didn't enjoy boxing, he wouldn't go through all the work of training for a fight with Judah or anyone else. He's obviously not struggling financially. I really do think that Oscar enjoys the challenge. He likes to box. No particular reason why he shouldn't fight Zab.

And Zab ... I don't mind seeing him get the opportunity. There's an appeal about Zab based on his under-achievement. Always a "what if?" quality about him. That undercurrent, the sense that he could have been one of the outstanding greats in the current era, it makes you always wonder what he might do this time out.

If he comes to fight and brings an A-game it will at any rate be a durn good fight to watch.

Two down on him ???

No im just realistic correct me if im wrong here but Judah has alot skills but terrble mental game and has lost all his major fights except for Cory Spinks what is he going to prove in future and against whom ?? Judah is basically a stepping stone now for the elite level.

Judah keeps getting chances because everyone feels he is an easy Win just like Gatti was. No one will keep giving him chances if they truly thought he was a great threat.

i agree. judah seems to be getting rewarded for getting a ass kicking

About time someone was paid for getting their ass kicked.

1 fighting ODH is IN NO WAY (other then financially) a reward at this point, if he wasnt ODH he would have been forgotten after bhop KTFO him

2 judah is fighting on some bullshit channel that NOBODY has

Are Margarito and Williams invisible? or do they have the worst management in the history of Boxing?
Is Forrest totally unmarketable? I find it strange that DLH fights only once a year and he wants Judah?
Time is running out for DLH and unless he is planning to fight twice in 2008 this talk is pointless.

Forrest is very unmarketable. He\'s a boring fighter
