Everyone could win if little things happen differently.
Little things? I'm curios... expand on that? Little things like if Zab had thrown to the body when he had Mayweather hurt with his guard up? I'm not sure me and you are talking about the same 'little things here'.

Some fights cannot be one by small details... what little things did Mike Tyson need to change when he was beat by Lennox Lewis? None... big things maybe but if he'd ironed out the imperfections in what he brought to that fight he still would of lost... he needed to bring something bigger.

Zab had the tools on the day... just didn't deliver them properly... the details weren't right...


he lost. I am not a Judah fan.
I think it's more complex than this. Had the fight continued as it did rounds 1-4, Judah had the tools.

Fact is, it couldn't have possibly continued that way for various reasons. For one, Judah can't stick to his game plan once he starts to get hit. He is psychologically screwed from his Kostya and Baldomir experiences. He doesn't want to do that dance again. Another thing, Floyd is a masterful boxer and so if something is not working, or he is puzzled about the fighter infront of him... he will adjust, lay back even if he has to, figure his opponent out, and then execute an effective plan.

That is the difference between Zab and Floyd. Zab had his game plan and he was successful while it worked. When Floyd countered Zab's temporarily effective plan, Zab was clueless as to what to do next. They are on similar levels physically, Floyd is on his own level mentally. It is impossible to realistically think that the fight could have continued in the same fashion... Floyd, or any good champion would not allow that to happen.

Simply put, it isn't just a matter of Zab stopping what he was doing, or not making a few changes. It is the fact that those changes and adjustments are beyond him, and Floyd is ahead of Zab in boxing IQ.
