The fight was pretty one-sided other that quick stun in the first round by judah. I see no reason for cotto rush to give a rematch to a guy he dominated.
We're all very grateful for your opinion.
I don't give a shit about the rematch, the point is that zab didn't beat him in their first encounter. Rematches don't change the fact you lost to a certain boxer. Wlad's win over brewster doesn't change the fact brewster beat him. Lennox's win over rahman doesn't change history that ge got ko'd by rahman
Joe Frazier will forever be known as a better fighter than Muhammad Ali because he won the first match. Sweet logic genius.
Judah would win.
Joel Judah asked Bob Arum for a rematch with Cotto and Arum made an excuse and said no.
What does that say?
Cotto's handlers are nervous about putting him back in with Zab Judah.
Judah would defeat Paulie.
What ppl are forgetting is that Cory Spinks has no power and he beat zab already
And did Cory have the last laugh? Zab was leading on all 3 scorecards when he knocked Spinks out in their second fight as well.
zab would definatley win. i see zab beating him for about 7 or 8 rounds and malinaggi winning the last few rounds only because zab will get tired but zab will out class him in a unanimous descision.
I think Zab wins this one....but not because he is a better fighter.....i say pound for pound Mallinaggi is a better fighter because he at least seems to me to go out and consistantly perform up to par...Judah is a head case to say the least...
Unfortunately for Paulie he has little power in any weight division...so there is no risk of him knocking Judah out, which could hopefully allow Judah to actually let his hands go....
12 rd UD for Judah....but CLOSE
Zab won't deteriorate behind no heavy lumber. See BOTH Spinks fights.
My first thoughts too. Judah can fight like a fucking beast in the first few rounds before he gets hit hard and shells up, but Malignaggi is strictly a technician who cannot hurt anyone. Judah would show up and look excellent, getting the UD most likely.
Malignaggi gets his ass handed to him by all the top Welterweights, however, Zab no longer fits in that bracket but should still have too much speed and agility. Plus there's no chance of Zab getting a beat down from Paulie, so he'll go all out.
Malignaggi lasted through Cotto, he doesn't have a weak chin. He's more consistent than Zab, he could pull off a win, just land a bunch of jabs and Zab will deteriorate through the second half like he frequently does.
Zab...no reason to think Malignaggi can move up in weight and keep his speed, plus with no power Zab shouldnt be afraid to get in their and mix it up. Plus Zab has superior speed. Though I'd be rooting for Paulie.
lets say malignaggi moves up to 147 for some big money fights...what happens when "cotto's whores" slug it out!!
Zab Judah would easily win. Malignaggi has no power behind his punch. Just by looking at Malignaggi u could simply tell he doesnt have the power to hurt anyone in the welterweight division. He doesnt have a good build. The size of his arm is like feather weight seriosly. Malignaggi has alot of heart and speed and can go many rounds without getting to tired. If he manages to survive Zabs power till the 6th round then MAYBE he may stand a chance but i still dought
