But Judah's so called too much speed was posed to destroy Baldomir, PBF, Cotto, and the other 2 cab drivers Judah fought on ESPN. Gomez reminds me of Baldomir. I don't think much of Baldomir and so there you have it, he still beat Judah.
I wouldn't mind seeing Gomez knock out Judah. Just to end this Judah circus once and for all. I just don't see it happening.
I'd love to see the end of Judah now too. I thought it came with the loss to Floyd,then Cotto. Shame really. I used to think he would add to the WW division but he doesn't.
Ah a little harsh he's still one of the best fighters out there on his day, he did completely dominate Cory Spinks and knock him out after all.

I think his mental strength has been eroded and he no longer truly belives he can win the big fights. Maybe he needs some softer opposition for a while instead of just trying for the big fights.

I still think that fights with guys like Margarito, Cintron, a Spinks rematch, maybe Hatton at 140 would all be very entertaining and competitive.

I've always found Zab entertaining to watch in the ring, irrespective of whether he wins or now.

I remember posting over a year ago that he was in danger of becoming the next Fernando Vargas, a whupping boy for the world's elite. Sadly that prediction has now come true, but he's still going to be an excellent gatekeeper to the truly elite level and I suspect guys such as Berto, Cintron, Williams and Margarito etc will have to come through him in order to be considered worthy of challenging the likes of Floyd, Cotto and Mosely.

And I still think he has one great performance left in him and a chance to get back in the mix.
I'd much rather see unification fights and fights between the up and coming stars/fighters that have not had a chance. Zab get WAAAAAY too many shots for 0 reason. 1 win over Spinks and losses to Spinks,Floyd,Baldo,Cotto don't equate to getting more title shots? Yet the more he loses,the more shots he gets. He needs to work his way up just like everyone else.

It's time for guys like Clottey,Margarito,Collazo etc to get their time to shine. And why would Williams,Cintron,world champions need to get through Zab They need to unify,and guys like Cotto and Mosley will fight them.
Yes well I agreed with you regarding that! I'm saying Zab should avoid the mega fights for now and fight some of the up and coming fighters out there acting as a gatekeeper to the elite level.

I don't see how you can not want to see fights like Berto vs Judah, Margarito vs Judah or Cintron vs Judah?

All of them great matchups, let's be honest Zab is rarely in a dull fight hence why HBO still love him.

He won't be getting a shot against Floyd, Cotto, Mosely or De La Hoya anytime soon but if he can win a couple lower key fights then he still becomes a big name, and exciting opponent for the likes of Berto, Collazo, Quintana, a crossroads fight with Margarito etc.

And I'd actually like to see a third fight with Cory Spinks. Considering Spinks usual level of competition when defending his titles, Rodney Jones for example, a third fight with Judah would be good business.
Judah is too small to go to 154 and it would be pointless for 1 fight and Spinks is too big for 147. Those fights you mentioned with Judah involved don't interest me apart from the Berto fight. There are far better fights out there for the names you mentioned(Cintron Williams Margarito can all fight each other and the winner of Cotto Mosley).

I just want to see Zab have to work his way up. He has gone past the point of getting title shots automtically and is in danger of being a punch bag if he persists in challenging better fighters/champions.
