    Default Zab's in wrong weight class

    Is it just me or is Zab a smaller guy trying to handle the Welterweight class I think he should move down one class and fight or retire he will never be champion anytime soon.

    exactly he shouldn't fight at 147 he should fight at 140 he'd have a better chance

    Definately some interesting fights at 140..

    hes having a tough time breaking into any sort of rythm and continuing his career at 147.. if he doesnt want to take a new direction it may be over..

    see what he wants to do i guess

    I didn't think Zab Judah could make 140 anymore but if he can then he should for certain go to 140..........

    He could beat majority of the fighters at that weightclass because there isn't any real good pressure fighters to break his will at Jr Welterweight except Ricky Hatton........

    But Ricky Hatton has been struggling lately and does have problems with Southpaws so who knows.......

    I think Zab Judah could of rematched Junior Witter when Junior Witter was still somewhat of a name but it looks like that match up has been flushed down the toilet with Junior Witter losing to Timothy Bradley........

    And if Ricky Hatton beats Paul Malignaggi then i can't see Ricky Hatton fighting Zab Judah so who is there really for Zab Judah at 140......

    Its not like its a deep division its one of the weakest divisions in boxing at the moment.

    If he can make 143 he can make 140 no problem, and even being in that division, weak or not has to be better than getting smashed agaisnt bigger blokes

    Can see him beating most at 140 as it happens.

    Don't think he'd beat Hatton altho i wouldn't put money on it.

    I say he should go for it because he won't get anywhere at 147.

    Ever since he lost to Cotto I thought he should move back to 140. He has a great chance of beating most at lightwelter. Picks up a belt or two - Hatton-Judah would be a BIG fight... he's probably running out of time now though

    Why is that wrong?

    Judah would be more competitive at 140lb, Hattons weight class. I had him winning the fight against Clottey but he was tiring and would have lost the fight if it went the full twelve.

    It is unfair that Zab was effectively fighting a middleweight but that is the rules today and sometimes it does not pay off.

    Well... no matter. He'll be fighting the rest of his career on ESPN.
