What do u think is Zab's should do if he loses to Joshua

[toogood4u]

obviously ALOt of you ppl are going to say retire (but i doubt it hes too young)

i think he should take one last fight, move down one weight class, and maybe try to fight david diaz?

He lost to him twice in like 1996 and i believe he should atleast try to fight him one last time. (i think he'll do better one weight down anyway cause he cant compete with these welterweights nowadays)

[p4pking]

All depends how he looks against Clottey, really... I thought he was looking kinda shopworn by the time he fought Cotto and should've done better in that fight, and I haven't even seen his fights since then. The fact that he went the distance both times with average fighters could be a bad sign? Dunno. I've thought forever that he would have always done better to stick at 140, but then I guess he wouldn't have had the names to fight. If he still looks good, but Clottey beats him(I really don't see both happening) then I would say he should try to drop back to 140. I'd actually give him a great chance to beat anyone there, including Hatton. Judah-Malignaggi would be a good Brooklyn showdown, and interesting matchup. He could figght the winner of the Holt-Torres rematch, Tim Bradley, even Witter again... A lot more winnable semi high profile fights for him at 140 I'd say.

Zab is getting knocked out in this one.

Yes he is; well hopefully.

If Zab loses I was hoping he'd go away, but I see a couple of tune-up fights on ESPN then getting another title shot.....again.

I don't see why Berto isn't put in with Zab; at least if he loses to Clottey. He'l' be nothing but a gatekeeper as far as I'm concerned. He could always fight Yoel in the shower again

[toogood4u]

GATEKEEPER??/

he'll probably get run over half the time, or run away...lol

But see that's the problem. If he loses he gets to fight for another belt? Whether Berto is ready for it or not, he's a champ now and Zab's upward-failing streak has to be broken if he loses to Clottey. Clottey won't knock him out, by the way, but he will beat him up. Zab is gonna look perty for about 5 rounds but he'll turn into a dud when he sees all that speed and power not doing anything for him.

I would happily take a sig bet on this, unless you're scared.


I already got a user name change bet on the line with the Rock.
















I'm sooo gonna clean house on this fight.

I honestly forgot Berto has a belt now My bad.

This thread is moot because the thought of King Judah losing to Joshua Clottey is laughable.

[amat]

It won't happened. A determined Judah is 5 levels above Clottey and even if he did somehow lose, we all know it's just because he wasn't as focused as he could have been. But that will not happen unless Clottey hits low like he did against Baldomir that's his only shot.


JJJUUUUUDDDDAAAAHHHH

[Canvasback]

Zab should retire if he loses.

[killersheep]

Go back down to 140

[LEGION]

Go back down to 140

That's what I was hoping he'd do for a long time now. Judah/Hatton should have happened already IMSO.

[Macho]

I he lose , he would have to auto-evaluate himself and then has the option to move down , then he has to think what should do in his career.......

I would absolutely love to see Hatton / Judah I think the are very close in their careers as far as being past their primes a bit and are both running low on options for opposition (Hatton because hardly any 140 lbers can fill 5 seats in a stadium, and Judah because he has lost to most of the top 10 welterweights.)

Hatton would have problems with Judah's uppercuts and Judah would have problems with Hatton's hooks. honestly it's a pick em fight for me.
