Can Zab Judah be a factor at 140?

I've always been intrigued by Zab. I have no idea what he'll look like next week, but nothing would surprise me. I think his biggest flaw has been maturity and he still has enough talent to be a champion if he can focus. Eddie Mustafa is in his corner now so maybe him and his dad realize this is their last shot.

What would Zab need to show to make people think he can still win big fights?

He is 32 years old and it may be too little too late. Fighters don't normally age like fine wine.

He mentally breaks down after 5-6 rounds if he isn't dominating. That wasn't a big problem when he was facing lesser competition, but once he got to the top level, it has plagued him.

It has always been mental with Zab Judah in my opinion.

I think he can make some noise if his head is in the right place, but time is running short. As mentioned by another poster, 32 years old may be too late for him to really change his ways.

Zab could beat some of the guys at 140. He has the talent. But I don't see him doing anything consistent. At the highest levels, the mental game is very important. Zab doesn't have it. If the fight is tough he loses all confidence and then he wilts.

4 years ago hell ya

not sure anymore

I do think Zab would have beaten Shane Mosley

I think Zab should of aimed for Berto, best shot at getting back into the picture at 147 taking that hyped fighter's strap

zab will make 3 good paydays then fade into obscurity where he belongs.

To late for him at this point. Bradley, Khan and Maidana would all beat him, as would Alexander, who he already said he won't fight because of Don. Zab had almost as much talent as Floyd, just could never put it all together.

Until Zab actually makes 140lb I won't be able to tell if he'll be a factor, he's been saying for the past year that he's going back to Jr Welterweight but keeps fighting at catchweights of 144lb.

I think we've seen the best of Zab Judah. To make a long story short, he could never win the big one. It's really hard for me to see him making any noise in the 140 pound division with the talent they have there.
