Re: So where does Zab go from here?
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.
They want your @$$ beat because upsets make news. News brings about excitement, excitement brings about ratings. The objective is to bring you up to the tower and tear your @$$ down. And if you don't believe that, you're crazy.
