Speed. Power. Flash. Cockiness. All of that describes both “Pretty Boy” Floyd Mayweather and Zab “Super” Judah. These two fighters have a lot in common. They also have many things that make them different. Floyd is undefeated and recognized as the best pound for pound fighter in the world. Zab wishes he was and thinks he is. Too bad he’s the only one that thinks that.

Mayweather is 35-0 with 24KO’s. He is known for making top fighters look like they have never been in the ring before. He is well known for his work ethic and determination to be the best. It shows every time he steps between the ropes.

He is one of the most arrogant fighters around, but backs it up like nobody else in the sport.

Zab Judah on the other hand has been embarrassed on a few occasions by top notch opponents and some other not so big name guys. Kostya Tszyu made him look silly.

Carlos Manuel Baldomir beat him in what was supposed to be a tuneup fight. The funny thing about Judah is he has looked amazing at times. He ran through Corey Spinks in their rematch. There is no doubting his talent and skills. It’s what is between his ears that seems to be the biggest question mark.

All that being said, come April 8th at The Thomas and Mack Center is Las Vegas all fight fans could be in for a show. Super Judah usually looks his best when his back is against the wall. There is no bigger badder wall than Floyd Mayweather. Zab knows his reputation and future paychecks ride on this fight. Floyd is the king of the mountain and can be on to much bigger and better paydays if he keeps his perfect record intact.

I am looking for this to be a slugfest. These two guys have some of the quickest hands this sport has ever seen. The first guy to make a mistake is going to get punished with a flurry of shots. I believe that Mayweather is too polished right now. He is the stronger of the two and I don’t see Judah being able to hurt the elusive Pretty Boy. I am predicting a mid-round TKO. Mayweather is going to unleash a barrage of punches on his former friend. There is some bad blood between the two gladiators that will go toe to toe come April 8th. Floyd will make Judah pay early and often and force the referee to step in and raise his hand in vicory for the 36th straight time.
