Miguel Cotto-Zab Judah Collide on June 9 in MSG

[wmute]

I predict a KO

it is going to be a good fight while it lasts

Judah is going to be in the best shape (and focus) of his life, maybe better than for mayweather. If he loses he becomes a gatekeepe, if he wins he is back in the mix.

Cotto is going to be all business too: biggest fight of his career so far

i understand where you're coming from dioni. if zab was fighting mosley or mayweather again i'd deffinitly lean towards your logic.
but cotto is'nt proven to me. and i think that even a rusty hungry, on his best behavior judah will win in a dirty fight where he gets hurt.

just to reiterrate. i don't think cotto is going to be exposed. but judahs going to put it together and end on a stronger note.

I think Cotto missed a lot of good opponents when he was at 140; now one he is available to him again at 147 - this is a good fight. Cotto gains a little more credibility with a win; with a win for Judah, he shows he's more than just a future gatekeeper, that he's still an elite at welterweight...

Zab toe to toe with Cotto is a nightmare because Zab hits and moves out of the way, not to mention, that left cross is far more likely to knock Cotto out than Zab. Also, Zab is a true welter, and hes actually bigger than Floyd, hes just not some ridiculous 6'0 welter with a ridiculously long reach playing it to his advantage.

Zab has been in there with the best of them, and i mean p4p best, Tszyu, Mayweather and Spinks.


Cotto's best chance is to take the fight past round 6 in which he should be in perfet position to likely take him out. Anything before round 6 is dangerous territory.

Zab has yet to show that he can show up in the big fight. He has all the talent in the world, but withouht beingh able to mentally put it all together that talent doesn't mean ****. It should be a good fight but I don't see Zab beating Cotto. Cotto is stronger at 147. If Cotto beats Zab everyone will just say that he was damaged goods.

beating cotto won't make judah an elite welter in my eyes. but it will add statis as a comeback, like a heavy tuneup.i think he'll pickup a cheezy belt and decent money,several times more than espn.this cotto is
overrated imo.

dont really know why judah would take this, if he loses he miswell retire

its a bigger money fight for him and cotto is an easier opponent .

Zab lost to a slower, older, and much less powerful version of Cotto in Baldomir...

The Spinks fight was actually very huge, in front of a packed house in his hometown with that gay ass long nelly intro. to date, thats the only fight where he actually did show up, against p4p material.

I wouldn't necessarily call Spinks P4P material. Still he has shown against Tsyzu,Baldomir, and Mayweather that he is not capable of holding it together through a whole fight when it is on the biggest stage. Yet he continuosly is given these oppurtunities after major losses. I have never seen a fighter given chance after chance. I especially couldn't beleive the fact that he still got the Mayweather fight after the Baldomir loss. I think that was more on Floyd taking the safer fight knowing that Zab would flame and despite his talent was the lesser threat given his track record.
