I must admit...

I used to hate Zab Judah...but seeing him on HBO last time (knock out some bum) where he apologized to the world for being an idiot when he fought Kostya, and basically saying he's a new person...I have newfound respect for him. And yes, I believe other fighters are dodging him, and yes, I believe his skills have improved after learning some humility from Kostya and Spinks, I think he should be put right up there with the elite fighters again.

I have always been a big fan of Judahs. He seems to be getting a little sharper now, maybe he will continue to improve.

The Tszyu fight was a lessoned learned, and I too have newfound respect for the guy.

I think his chin may be suspect... but damn, this kid can really fight.

Well, I like him 'cause he's from Brooklyn, like me but the kids I like are Cotto and Corrales who seems like he has really matured a lot...I think he was yet another criminal turned boxer; however, he seems to have grown a lot...Goosen seems like he helped him a lot

I remember watching him in the Golden Gloves and thinking he was going to be something big later on. I also have a new found respect for him, for the same reasons you all have mentioned. I was just having this same discussion with a co-worker and he was telling me how he used to see Zab hanging out partying all the time when he was first coming up. Yeah, I hated him after the Tszyu incident, but as they say: that was then, this is now.

I am not a huge fan of Zab's but i have to respect his skill and great talent.
