Mayweather-Judah not dead!

Friday, January 13 2006

There is still interest from promoters and HBO executives in staging an April 8 showdown between Floyd Mayweather and Zab Judah. Judah's shock loss to Carlos Baldomir on January 7 took some of the luster off the proposed matchup, but he may just get a pass from that lackluster performance as boxing powerbrokers believe Zab lost mainly because he was not focused or motivated for that bout. That isn't expected to be a problem against Mayweather. It isn't unprecedented when a popular fighter is upset, that he still moves into a big fight soon after. 'El Terrible' Erik Morales himself is coming into next weekend's superfight with Manny Pacquiao after dropping an HBO-televised showcase fight against Zahir Raheem and that event is doing big business. Also, who can forget Julio Cesar Chavez' shocking loss in a tuneup to unrated Willy Wise in 1999? He not only got his title shot against Kostya Tszyu a few months later, but kept his #1 WBC ranking.

I knew that would happen, people have been wanting to see Judah and Mayweather for a long time. The reason there is still interest is because Mayweather knows now that he can beat Zab Judah.

He knows Zab has a very questionable chin, meaning he has no chin at all, and that Mayweather is going to exploit that. If a lot of people land straight rights on Zab a lot, you know that Mayweather is going to land 10x more straight rights on Zab.

Not only a straight right, but punches in bunches is what Mayweather throws and I don't think at this time Zab should take the fight since he isn't up to the caliber of professionalism that Mayweather shows when he fights.

When he came to my gym he said that hes already got fights with De La Hoya and I believe B Hop( although I may be wrong about Bernard, I am certain he said Oscar). I heard about the conversation second hand, but I know he said he was making close to 50 million for 2 fights in 06.
