Besides Baldy (who I think is underrated), he did lose to all great guys and guys who were way way way bigger than him in the ring. The only one who wasnt way bigger was Floyd but Floyd is the best. I dont think any 140 pounder wouldve beat Floyd, a prime Cotto, and a prime Clottey, e****ally coming into the ring at 146 pounds like Zab was. He had no chance
i just can't give zab the benefit of the doubt for someone of his skills i mean if someone else had zab skills and actually threw some punches i think he'll win those named fights. i mean yeah weight is a factor into it to cause he really shouldn't fought at 147 so soon. however i just can't give him the benefit of the doubt when he come in and fight and doesn't even try to win when losing. and he didn't do it once it did it multiple times. so i can't aggre that it was just he had no chance cause he had alot of chances.
but least it was to great fighters in their prime tho i can give him that

well make no mistake about it, it wasnt just the opponents. Zab is mentally weak and I think he shouldve left his dad years ago. He may genuinely be shot now because its hard to lose that much in a row and then still be great, e****ally when they were against tough guys. I thought his managment was bad for him losing and then they kept going right back to top fights. He wasnt going to win. Thats why now I kinda respect the way he's turning these guys down and saying that he wants 1 or 2 more fights. Its risky because he may not ever get a shot again but I think he knows that he would lose if he takes those fights before & now. He wants to build himself back up. Thats smart.
Now the only question is can he get down in weight because he will never be great at 140 unless he pulls a Floyd and starts packing on some weight which I dont see happening. I remember Shane use to say that he could never ever make WW again but now he fights every fight there. Zab said he cant make 140 but I believe if he gets the right guys around him that he can get down there. If he does then we have to see what he has left because if he's the old Zab then I think he can hang at 140. People clown him for the 4 round stuff but that was still mostly all at WW where the guys were just big and started to wear him down. No one called him a 4 round fighter before WW or when he was fighting light punchers like Spinks at WW
