Mayweather brings in Judah to emulate Pacquiao in training
When Floyd Mayweather Jr. fought Zab Judah back in 2006, it was anything but cordial. The fighters' entourages engaged in an all-out brawl in the ring after a low blow on The Money Team don.
It appears they've now put those differences aside so Judah can help Mayweather train for his upcoming mega-fight against Manny Pacquiao on May 2.
"Come Monday, we're going to work," Judah told FightHype.com. "He's a dominant fighter. I have a lot of respect for him and I want to see him do good. And if I can be of help, that's what I'm here to do."
Judah is often noted as one of Mayweather's only opponents who was able to compete with his hand speed at the time of their fight.
"A Zab sparring session is a Zab sparring session," Judah told Lyle Fitzsimmons of CBS Sports.
"I go hard. Anybody that knows me, they know that Zab is going to bring the best of his ability. For me to go in there and give Floyd so-so work is not helping him. If you're going to help him, come in there and give him the dominance that Manny is going to bring - the good power, the good speed, the good angles, the good movement - and allow him to learn from those things."
