How the hell has Zab Judah fallen from grace so much ?

[Pugilistic]

Zab Judah was a fighter with awesome talent, his combination for speed and power was very impressive imo and at his best and most foused he could compete with alot of top fighters.

The problem for Judah is he loses his focus when pressured.

In his fights against Baldomir, Mayweather, Cotto and Clottey they all applied pressure on Judah, once he cracked they were able to break him down and beat him up.

I do think Judah would be better suited to move down to 140 which i think he could make easily with a bit more discipline. I think a move down to 140 would suit him better because he would be fighting guys closer to his size where at 147 he is at a disadvantage in the size department.

I doubt Judah could beat the likes of Bradley, etc at 140 but he would certainly be a tough test for guys in the top 10.

He stopped moving his feet. He thinks he is so slick that he can dodge everything, and maybe he can when he spars, but once he gets in there with a guy like Cotto they start picking him apart because he doesn't move, and his defensive posture is similar to Floyd's but Floyd ties guys up, and he is orthodox which works much better with the philly shell against other orthodox fighers.

He needed a good team to get his head right and keep him focused..

You see in fights after a couple or rounds, his whole team is complaining to the ref.. Zab would fight for 1 minute, and because of his lack of focus and his team never keeping him focused either, he's probably spend 40 seconds of that minute thinking about the one bullsh!t low blow that the ref didn't see.. Waiting for another one so he can complain..

He had the skills, and I think how he ended up fighting, he would have been better off at 140 where his lack of focus wouldn't have cost him fights so easily,
BUTTTT I think he belonged at 147 and should have won there with what he had.. He had the potential, but if he had a team that put his mind on the right things coming into and during fights, he could have actually won there... If by round 3 your corner is telling you how bullsh!t all the fouls have been so far instead of telling you that your jab is owning the fight if you'll just keep using it, then you gotta get another corner..... He had a certain attitude of lack of focus, and he kept people around him to long with the same problem..

therby, the waste of incredible tallent that is now Zab Judah...

Most of the time he starts strong. But for some reason, he gets discourage and tend lose his focus.

Judah has so much talent that it's sad that he's not up there with the other top guys. I often forget that Judah was WW champ at one point.

Well I agree with what most of you are saying, he has a total lack of focus. It's like he almost doesn't give the sport that has given him so much, any respect, because he doesn't seem to have any real dedication in trying to improve himself, and doesn't have the drive to make the most of his skills. It's like he's just skating along for paychecks these days.

I mean, you know he's on a down slide when a shower door gets the best of him.

One right hand from Kostya Tszyu and it kept going down hill from there.

You know dare I say it, but I notice a little bit of fat around Cotto's midriff. He has a bit of a pokey tummy.
