Will Floyd have an easier time with Zab than Diego?

[kallsop]

Zab looks a lot stronger at 147 than 140, and this fight may happen, if it ever happens, at a weight above 147. His one punch triple KO by Tszyu was as funny as it gets but he got clocked clean by the hardest puncher at 140, maybe the hardest P4P puncher in the sport. With a little more epxerience, he would have taken a full 9 count and continued with a little more style

PBF could TKO Zab on an accumulation of punches, not likely by a single shot KO. Obviously there is a lot of interest in this fight - let's get it on!

60/40 split in Zab's favor, 147 belts on the line. Make it happen.

zab is a much slicker boxer than diego and has much better defense.

as confident as i am in a mayweather victory, i dont think this victory will come easy.

[Soliloquy]

I'm looking forward to Zab/Floyd like everyone else. But when I was driving home, I heard on ESPN radio a brief mention about negotiations.

I then thought of Floyd/Diego and realize the similarities between Zab and Diego.

*Strong punches
*weak jaws

Zab hasn't been down as much as Diego but his he hasn't fought as many top fighters as him either.

I think if Floyd lands solidly it will be lights out for Zab. Diego was hit with quick, short punches by Floyd and went down but was never really hurt.

Terron Millet hurt Judah. Spinks knocked down Judah. Took two fights for Zab to figure Spinks out.

Remember on Friday Night Fights Max Kellerman had to sit between Zab and Millet, because they really hated each other. And from the pre-fight interviews, Zab has that same disdain for Mayweather it seems. I can see pride/confidence hurting Zab like it did with Diego in a sense because Floyd really got under the skin of Diego with the whole wife-beater insults at the press conferences.

I see Floyd cruising to an lopsided win, but it won't be easy. Sharmba hit Floyd with some good shots in their matchup a month ago. I can only imagine what some of those shots will do to Floyd.

You really don't know **** about boxing? Comparing Judah (a boxer who can punch) to Corrales (stricly a brawler) is very laughable. Millet & Spinks knockdowns were flash knockdowns, they don't really tell the story of his chin being weak, just balance issues, which I think he has sorted out.

In fact, I think Judah will win because Mayweather has never faced someone just as fast as him, a lot stronger (Zab walks around at 160, Floyd at 145), and a huge punch, who can box or slug. Zab might even be a little faster at this weight.

Floyd vs Zab! This will be a very good and interesting match-up because both moves like a cat, they are slick, though they have different styles of boxing... Floyd is like Sugar Ray while Zab is like Pernel Whitaker... Both fighters will be having a hard time figuring out how to deal with each other the fact that Zab is a south paw... Both having power punches, on the otherhand Floyd has the most effective counter punching... Floyd will watch out for Left cross and Zab will watch out for Right cross...

Apparently I will go for Floyd, why? because of his vast experience with great fighters such as corrales, castillo, gatti, etc... all of these fighters were annihilated by Floyd this is because of his craftmanship on top of the ring... defensive strategy, counter punching, and offensive stance, all in one...

You're going to see Floyd walk him down all night (go to his right) just like he did with Sharmba Mitchell.
Zab will never get a chance to land that lethal left hand.
I don't think the fight is going to be quite the shutout Diego Corrales fight was simply because Diego Corrales was perfect for Floyd's stick and move style at that time.

PBF-Castillo first fight, Castillo was annihilated by PBF? Hardly. Second fight was clearly better for PBF, but again, annihilated?

Did you really mean to put Gatti in your list of great fighters? He is fun to watch - usually - but hardly great.

i belive pbf will win this fight easily....he will have a bit of trouble with zab's speed but the same goes for zab because he has never faced someone with pbf's speed ...pbf just has alot better boxing skills than zab ...pbf is a smart fighter he knows that zab's only chance to win this fight is the k.o ..he will not let zab land a clean power shot the whole night ...pbf by late tko (accumilation of punches) or ud..

[TOPitBull]

Since these two are bum chums, I think it's going to be an intense sparring match, with PBF winning a UD.

I think Zab will be a little bit tougher to hit then Corrales.

No. Mayweather can see Corrales' punches coming. Judah is just as fast as mayweather. Speed is a bigger problem for mayweather than power

[Ta Khent]

Zab's biggest flaw is that when he backs up, he keeps his hands down opening himself up to whatever targets his chin. He did that against Tszyu and Spinks and was floored both times. If he does that against Floyd, he will definitely taste the canvas.
