FightHype.com recently spoke with former undisputed welterweight champion Zab "Super" Judah, who surprised us with the news that Floyd Mayweather reached out to him about the possibility of joining his camp as a sparring partner to help him prepare for his highly-anticipated clash with Manny Pacquiao.
"I mean, we're already talking about it. Yeah, we're already talking about it and it could be happening," Judah revealed.
Although it's nearly impossible to find a sparring partner who can emulate the movement and quick footwork that Pacquiao possesses, Judah does fight in the same southpaw stance and arguably has just as fast, if not faster, hand speed as the Filipino superstar. Not to mention, thus far, Judah has probably had the most success against Mayweather in recent years.
He started off strongly in their 2006 bout, winning the early rounds with his own speed and precision, even scoring a knockdown in the second round that was incorrectly ruled a slip. In the end, however, Mayweather's ability to adjust would eventually allow him to take control of the fight and ultimately walk away with the victory.
Although Judah has yet to accept the offer to help out, he made it clear that his services would come at a price commensurate with the magnitude of the event. "I mean, it's gotta benefit both us; it's gotta be good, but, you know, yeah, we already discussed it."
Floyd Mayweather sparring with Zab Judah? Now that's definitely something worth watching on an episode of 24/7.

nice vid... the fight is close pro panalo pa dn si yabangweather
That's a KNOCKDOWN, Floyd touched the canvas. It should have been ruled a knockdown. Was it?
It should be agood fight Manny should keep throwing a lot of punches ,but he need to control how he throw them,because he will be fighting a man who is good with his legs and strong he is a defensive fighter,Floyd will need to throw more punches, both guys are studying each other,so they will meet in the center of the ring.May the best man win. PEACE.
Is this what Lil floyd does? F*** Pacman will kill him in the ring.
nice vid.. Mayweather got owned! much more if he figths pacquiao!
judah scores a KD in this fight...
mayweather learn how to pray.
I predict a double black-eye for Pacquiao. First,Mayweather will beat him so bad that he will lose with a broken nose. So severe that it will put an halt in his campaign for congressman in Saranggani. And second, he will lose in the elections. LOL! Peace y'all!
shame on yon a**hole yabngweather. you're definitely A LOSER to zab judah...hak hak
what if judah was not choked? would it make a difference in the result? judah obviously got damaged when he was choked by on of mayweather's trainers. that's how mayweather's camp play! if they see that they can't fight an opponent straight up... they'll do anything just to win. tsk, tsk... a good example is what they are doing now to hinder the negotiations of the fight. he can't handle judah, he WILL NOT get manny!!!
is that the only game Gayweather can do??? Pacquiao will smash him in less than 6 rounds...haha
Bottom line is thaht Mayweather is the best fighter out there p4p. And on march 13th the world will see who Mayweather really is, then he will get the respect that he deserves as p4p king. So to all the Mayweather haters out there get ready because after march 13th you will really hate him! He's the best the U.S has to offer at 147 lbs. and I am dame proud of it.
Bottom line is that Mayweather is the best p4p fighter out there at 147lbs. So come march 13th all you Mayweather haters will really have a reason to hate him. As a fighter myself I give Pacman credit for what he's done in his past fights, but what he doesn't understand is that Mayweather is a totally different fighter. I just don't see Pacman even coming close to beating Mayweather. The way they say good pitching will shut down good hitting, so in other words good defense will shut down good offense...meaning expert top of the line defense like Mayweathers. And Mayweather is the best the U.S has to offer at 147lbs. and iam dame proud of it. I didn't want to be anonymous because I nothing but love for the sport of boxing and I express all my opinions. Bad Boy Ramirez 3 time golden gloves champ, 2 time silver gloves champ, 2 time national champion 147lbs - 154lbs. out of HOUSTON,TX
good point ramirez,but the thing is manny evolve from a slugger to a boxer,meaning floyd can be as technical as much he can manny can still hit him.manny can throw 200 and land 110 of those with 80% of those are power punches.floyd is not used to being hit that much.and besides floyd talks too much trash.after the fight i hope u could still post a comment here.manny is the best boxer atm in or outside the ring.
dyepri
as long as mayweather is faster than pacquiao and that will do the work of mayweather's defense but unfortunately mayweather doesn't have that speed to sustain 12 rounds of their fight and manny speed will kill him when he blinks his eyes...mayweather has to prove his speed readiness that fight because when he gets hit, i will sure to you mr.sr073079 ur best bet will kiss the canvass 3x.....
i think mayweather is vulnerable to hit in his body un kasi ang nkikita ko na laging open kay duckweather kapag naka defense stance sya but im not sure magiging key factor para talunin sya ni pacman..
oo nga pla nagkaroon nga pla siya ng rib injury baka pwedeng sundutin yan ni pacman baka dun matapos ang fight...
tnx nga pla sa nag post ng video hindi pala ganun katindi maglaro si mayweather pag nakakalaban talaga siya ng may maraming suntok mauubusan din ng ilag yang maangas na yan at yun tatamaan din sya wala rin mangyayari sa kany kung puro ilag gagawin nya at tatamaan sya masisira lang diskarte nya wahahah...
