Why did this fight never happen?

I think Judah wanted a rematch badly, but Tszyu didn't. I think it was partly because Zab was so loud and obnoxious before the fight with the "no rematch" stuff and Tszyu sincerely hated him, but I also think it was because Tszyu nearly got ko'd in that first round and he knew Judah was a dangerous rematch and there was probably more money elsewhere. More than that, I think Tszyu probably thought Judah was going to tear up the division and his ko over Judah would look that much better as time went by. Remember, Judah was supposed to be the next big thing in the sport before the Tszyu fight and the only thing that derailed him was one perfectly landed punch on the chin.

I'm not. That huge shot off the ropes in the first round had Tszyu hanging on for dear life. If Judah had been able to land one more shot, Tszyu would have gone down. I don't really know how that's even debatable.

Its certainly debatable because it didnt happen. Judah had his opportunity and didnt get it done. KT was good enough to take Judahs punches and get out of the round. Whats not debatable is that 1 well placed shot put Judah on queer street. They could of fought 100 times and in each fight Judah would of been put on queer street because he had no chin and no defense.
