Margarito is to big and to strong for Zab. Zab has a glass jaw and is not even a true welter. Like Floyd he is small at 147. Besides everytime Zab gets a a big shot or a major fight he melts down and is never mentally prepared. I swear this guy has had so many shots and after his last two losses I think he should have to start over and not be given a shot at a title. What has he proved to deserve a shot. If Tony wins, what does that prove and how does that help him? Zab has lost his last two fights and alway melts down in big fights. If he knocks Zab out or beats him so what!!! I don't see anyway this can benefit him. The only one this helps is Zab if he were to win. It's lose lose for Tony. If he wins everyone will be like "so what" and if he loses than it is a set back. I feel if Zab wants another title shot he should be made to work his way back like he did last time.
I know it seems like it's a Catskills post where I say something and flame anyone but disagrees, but I am really interested in debating this. I can see a point for Zab with people saying he wasn't prepared for Baldomir but I have a feeling that relentless style with an iron chin will always trouble him. Margarito's big punch will only add to the trouble.
I can see Zab decisioning him, possibly, but more than anything I see Zab getting laid out here. He just doesn't have the inner strength to fight someone who isn't afraid of his power.
Baldomir was also much smaller than Margarito and doesn't hit nearly as hard.
I will admit, That actually is one plodding puncher that zab has problems with, however, i will say that Zab came out like an idiot and paid for it. I think against margarito knowing what he can do, i think hed be much smarter..for about 8 rounds, haha.
If Zab comes back fresh,gets his shit 2gether and comes back as a boxer like he used to be,he wins easily man,Zab was good,lets not forget,Zab could probly even hurt Margarito,but if Zab shows up trying 2 please the people and show off then hed lose
Speed doesn't save you forever. Margarito has a very sturdy chin and mentally may be one of the toughest guys in the sport now. He will keep coming and it will only take one good punch to put Zab on queer street.
We dont know how mentally sturdy he is because he shown all of that against C class competition, i know this is a tired argument, but being big, mexican and taking a punch doesnt equal having a mental edge, lets see how he deals with the frustration of a moving left handed puncher like judah who wont stay in one place and trade.
We only know about judahs mental toughness because of his A competition, lets see how margarito performs under these circumstances. Although id agree AT THIS POINT Margarito is mentally tough, but i have my reservations about him until i see otherwise.
Judah's consecutive losses must have made people forget that Judah is faster and more skilled when he wants to. Tony is stronger but Judah wins this...Margarito too slow.
Judah fades in the later rounds, badly.Margarito is a slower starter and ups the ante in the later rounds.Judah has natural ability,hes a lefty,speed power,etc.But I dont think hes very skilled,he has a few tricks,like the uppercuts,but thats it.
And dont forget baldomir was slow as molasses and not a big puncher for the WW division.
Judah was is and always will be a punk bitch. He's a frontrunner who's never come back from a hard situation in his career. Tsyzu, Baldomir, and Mayweather let us see his true colors.
there is this other fighter who fits that description,
i think his name i mike

Have you all forgotten that blatant lowblow, rabbit punch combination? Fucking disgraceful. A desperate illegal attack from a sad little man.
ive yet to see judah have problems with a plodding puncher who comes foward, if you wanna bring up Tszyu, Tszyu sets up and actually has a jab and a straight right hand that is effective. Margarito woul dhave to follow zab all night eating up right hands. Margarito has no jab and barely has the IQ to even cut off the ring. Margarito would have to win by brutal KO cuz he sure as hell aint getting no desicion.
I think Margarito wins by a brutal knockout in around 5-6 rounds. Too tough, relentless, and hard hitting for Zab who lacks a chin and heart.
Well yeah.
agree - Judah needs a result in a big fight badly right now
Wow. Judah may be dumb, but not that dumb so as to sign for this.
If Tzysu didnt kill him on the right, then Margarito cant either.
