That's Zab.. He's always treated like a man one fight away from the title or the top of his weight class... I'm sure it's because of the potential he always shows in his losing fights.. He's better (well is probably better) than the the prospects and most of the contenders, so unless he goes backwards and fights prospects then what is he to do?
The general concensus I guess is that maybe he should pick bouts with 1 or 2 really decent contenders.. Win those fights, and have his shot at a champ.. He's just stuck at that A- level.. A tough place to be.. Ahead of the pack, but below the leaders...

Well, for his sake, as long as he keeps getting these big fights, he can earn $ and sleep well in his retirement if he's smart....

But Pac will destroy him, and there WILL come a point where he has to stop getting decent paying bouts... So he should make the most of them while he can, and make sure he manages what time he has left very well.

Maybe he needs a drastic change in training team.. If anyone still thinks he has the potential, then he needs a very good trainer to bring that out now before it's to late..


Finally, I think he may as well just try to make weight and stay at 140 and at least try to rule that division..
