So where does Zab go from here?

[Saddo]

i think he can move on from this loss... would like to see him in with Cotto

[Kev]

Probably a rubber match with Cory Spinks is his most likely move. Spinks must surely be looking at a way back into the boxing limelight and he'll want revenge on Zab.

You never know, he may even make a move for Hatton, although Hatton probably will not be interested as Zab holds no titles.

After Collazo I think it's a near certainty that Hatton will be chasing the winner of Baldomir Gatti to pick up his 4th world title in successive fights!

[cockey cockney]

Probly just have a few tune ups and go back after a title again.

[smashcrusher]

Since Zab's finished I figure he can start by selling his gold fronts on ebay.

[Bigsexy]

He should go back to the 40/40 club with J-zee and continue to drink louie th 15th hennessey every weekend like he normally does.

Well with floyd hurting his hand and the intentions to fight De la hoya, other challengers could be in for a wait. Zab might do well to take advantage and steal as many paydays from floyd as he can in that time and see if he could get hatton and margarito to bite. He's shown the vulnerability to look beatable for opponent in top condition and focus and hes got the skills to still upset those guys. Its a win- win situation for Zab. He's got nothing to lose and everything to gain. If he loses, he still gets more money that he probably would to fight anyone else. If he wins, he clears out the division and sets up a possible rematch with mayweather down the line where he can have everyone thinking hes more focused. At the same time if Mayweather beats an aging de la hoya, but has his major competition wiped out by zab, he can look less spectacular and that would seemingly close the gap that made the difference in this fight.

Yeah, but c'mon guys. I was thoroughly entertained by Zab's "EAST SIDE!" move.

Yeah, he's a dirty fighter. We always knew that. Choking Jay Nady is lower than low.

Zab did good. And should be proud of himself yes.
But in all honesty, he shortchanged himself, rather than proud, he could be drunk with joy at dominating Floyd, had he kept up his output.

C'mon. He matched Floyd in everything, except he had power.

But Mayweather had focus, something Judah has always lacked.

I have not seen the fight yet so I cannot really say but yeah, it does seem as though had Zab continued as he did with the first few rounds, he could actually have won?!? I heard his corner wanted him to let his hands to go, he should have just gone all out, I mean this was possibly his last big big chance!! I would have just put it all on the line!!

Zab is not a dirty fighter BERNARD HOPKINS is a dirty fighter But Zab isn't. The only fouls I have seen him do is.

His low blow of Mickey Ward in the first round in which Mickey returned the favor.

And his low blow of PBF.

Thats it, you say he's a dirty fighter because he reacted badly to a loss The Nady incident doesn't mean he's a dirty fighter, he was just a sore loser. and his recent losses he hasn't exploded like he did against Nady so I really don't think thats a case anymore. Why do ythe Zab detractors only hold on to that moment?

[p4pking]

Zab could do well to fight anyone but Mayweather at 140 or 147.. Cotto, Hatton, Margarito.. Those are all fights he COULD win. I don't care what anyone says, if he fought as well as he did last night even he would have a good shot against any of them.. But now that he is coming off of 2 losses and with the foul incident and all that, will ppl want to fight him.. Will that still make money as well? If so then he definetly has some options.

Um reality Check. Not for nothing but Zab has volumes of stuff hes done that speak negatively about his character. Aside from the Nady incident, Slapping baldomir on the thigh before the fight (i think he tried to hit him on the glove but he missed, but he is responsible for any people that may have misconstrued that...) Lets not forget hitting david Sample while he was down in the corner (I'll wait for you to bring up Roy vs. montel I, as expected before we get into that). I still never got the full story on what happened with him and Bustah rhymes. Either way, he has a string of stupid little things like this that shown hes acted like a Thug and a punk for the longest time. His tyson-esque behavior was predicted by Roger Mayweather. He hasn't bitten anyone yet (I hear bloods a b*tch to clean out of platinum settings) or put anyone in an armbar... So use that if you wish to add merit to your arguement that hes not a dirty fighter. There should be no question about him being a dirty person. His act stinks of desperation, false bravado, unprofessionalism and lack of character. I used to be one of his biggest fans, but now I have absolutely no respect left for him or Yoel. I'll reserve any judgements on Daniel Judah as I havent seen him fight yet...

[El Kabong]

Seems like a good starter for Hatton or Cotto at 147!

No I won't. I will instead say that many fighters have hit fighters when they are down and that includes PBF and Bernard Hopkins and Bell, but many fighters do it. I don't have to bring Roy Jones into it because I won't single him out for things many boxers do like you are doing to Zab

I still never got the full story on what happened with him and Bustah rhymes.

Nothing happened, otherwise he wouldn't be working with him now. Whatever happened wasn't as big as they made it to be. And I won't bring up Roy Jones and Fat Joe

All you did was mention David Sample which are things many fighters do and then mention outside stuff and it still doesn't mean he's a dirty fighter since you can only name about 3 fights. and please, if you breakdown every single fight in which a foul has happened and try to pin Zab as the only one to do it then you're really deep into the Haterade

There should be no question about him being a dirty person. His act stinks of desperation, false bravado, unprofessionalism and lack of character.

What act? He hit Floyd low and then hit him in the head. I still do not see it as intentional(the low blow) but I will give you the back of the head shot. I don't think Zab is a dirty fighter, or a dirty person. And nothing you say is going to change that if you've never met the guy.

I used to be one of his biggest fans, but now I have absolutely no respect left for him or Yoel.

I don't see how you can make that broad a statement. No respect for him? I respect your opinion on that. but after alst night to make THAT much of an impression on you, surprises me. It really does.

[smashcrusher]

Seems like a good starter for Hatton or Cotto at 147!

I agree. Zab is officially now a tune up fight for any and everyone seeking to move up from super lightweight to welterweight. He should change his nickname from 'super' to 'stepping stone.'

Dont see how i can make that broad of a statement based on last night? Thats just it. You don't seem to get it. Its not just based last night. Where you would like to take every incident and separate it and treat it as some sort of isolated first offense and start an argument with "its not horrible as...." or end it with "...but lots of people have done it", many people tend to judge a person for what they have done cumulatively. This is represents his whole punk attitude and lifestyle. To be honest, I would like to say i saw it coming prior to last night, but i never actually thought he would resort to something like that when he was losing. All the other things hes done seem to come when he had an advantage because he figured it didnt matter since he would be winning anyway and wouldnt have to pay for his behavior.

When I refer to his act, I am referring to everything. How he conducts and represents himself as a professional fighter and sportsman. Its the means by which he makes his money, supports his family and gained his notoriety. I had little respect for Yoel as a trainer before but there is no reason Zab has the talents near the level or a mayweather or jones and acts in a way that makes him look like a Tyson or Golota. A fighter like mayorga needs that kind of stupidity to try to intimidate and agitate his opponents to make up for where his talents fall short. Zab doesn't.

For the record, when zab hit sample. Sample had already went down and was trying to get back up and hand his hands on the middle rope on the corner and was looking up when judah beat the inexperienced ref over to the corner, stood over sample and got in a shot for good measure. It was blatant.

I am not saying he was always bad, he seemed like a decent confused kid with a bad trainer. But hes had that influence so long that he's started to think with the same mentality. I'm pretty sure Don king whispering in his ear doesnt help either. But its not like hes 17 or 19. Hes old enough to think for himself and start acting responsibly.

By the way, roy jones approached fat joe in a club and confronted him about the lyrics and Joe apologized and it was squashed... even if there wasnt i doubt there would be a fight. Maybe a reply track or reference to joe somewhere ona body/head record but I doubt seriously that It would have came down to fisticuffs as reported in the zab/bustah incident.
