A two-weight world champion believes he should have been the man to defeat pound-for-pound great Floyd Mayweather.
Known for his extraordinary defensive skills and ring IQ, Mayweather is often credited with being one of, if not the greatest fighter to have ever graced the sport.
Mayweather would go on to become a world champion in five weight classes along the way, producing victories over the likes of Canelo Alvarez, Ricky Hatton, Oscar De La Hoya, Shane Mosley and Manny Pacquiao during his career.
Another highly-rated fighter that Mayweather defeated along the way was two-weight world champion Zab Judah, who had a short reign as the undisputed welterweight champion back in 2005.
When tasked with revealing his top five greatest fighters of all time, Judah shunned former rival Mayweather as he claims his countryman should not have walked away as the winner when they fought back in 2006.
”There’s no disrespect to Floyd. I love Floyd, but how am I gonna put down a person as the greatest person in the world that I competed against and felt that I (defeated). If anything it could have been a loss (for him), I mean he knew going toe-to-toe with me early, that was career suicide.”
Mayweather comprehensively outpointed Judah when they locked horns for the IBF world welterweight title at the Thomas & Mack Center in Las Vegas back in April of 2006, handing ‘Super’ the fourth defeat of his career in the process.
Judah ended his career with a record of 44 wins from 56 fights, also having two spells as super-lightweight world champion.
