if zab fights smart, picks his spots and avoids some unnecessary exchanges, maybe he can make a case for himself and get the "W"...
but then again, i can't just forget a younger and closer to prime version of him losing to tata...
Margarito was actually faster than Baldomir.
At the end of the day overall, Baldomir wasn't fit to carry Margarito jockstrap.
I disagree. Margarito was good for what he was but give me the guy who has better technique and the one guy in boxing who Margarito's pressure wouldnt bother. I think Margarito does better than Baldy against a guy like Williams or whatever but if you are not fast, skilled enough to move away, or box then I like Baldy in that matchup.
He's very underrated in that regard. I was impressed with him. I wish he didnt chase the money fight wiht Floyd that he had no chance of winning. I thought he had other winnable fights out there
It's the Floyd Mayweather syndrome. Floyd beat him so now Floyd fans make him out to be better than what he really was. In reality he was a journeyman at best.
im one Floyd fan who never does stuff like that. I truly like Baldy's technique. He was just slow but we are talking about Margarito who was even slower with horrible technique
i like zab...could go both ways
i think judah should fight garcia next....and rios should fight marquez....but i think judah has enough 2 beat rios@140....all these fights are good fights
Good Goad, the brutalization that Judah would get :lol1:
It would give fans an idea on how a prime Margarito would have destroyed a prime Judah. It wouldn't be pretty for Judah.
margarito was a WW as a teenager. he's one of the biggest WW ever
rios is a big kid, and probably no smaller than judah, but he's not the size of margarito
punches he walks through against the LW he's been fighting would hurt him if they were coming from zab judah
rios would need to kick it up a gear and keep from getting hit
i'm not saying he cant, but he's going to have a more difficult time coming forward at 140, especially against a guy like judah who still has decent legs and could always punch
I'd love for Zab to win, but in reality it would be like every other big Zab fight. He'd land some big uppercuts in the first few rounds then get knocked out in the later rounds.
im pretty sure this fight is a pick'em. i would have to see how rios does against bigger fighters. him bullying fighters hes much bigger than does not equal to him bullying judah.
lol wtf.....
Hell yeah. Can't be hurt, more skilled, better techniques, better inside fighter. Also one of the few guys Margarito wouldn't have a size advantage against
honestly it's a bad style for rios
if he looks better than he did against murray at 140 i'd give him the slight edge
i went with pick em because that's honestly how i feel it would go.
the closest thing rios has fought to judah was acosta (you can perhaps argue that it is peterson, but i'd go with acosta,), and he touched rios up until he slowed down
I think Baldy is sooo underrated on here. He just went for the big money Floyd fight. I still to this day say that Baldy wouldve owned the prime Margarito
lol wtf.....

I agree, Baldy was my favorite of mine back in the day. Him and Margarito is pure war, but Baldy had decent boxing skills, but was one of the slowest guys around. Margarito's pressure would him problems, but I don't see Margo hurting him. Would've loved to see it.
