    Those favoring Judah..

    Simply put,why are you favoring him over Cotto?Im not trying to disrespect or call you a moron or anything.Because Zab's certainly got a good chance of pulling it out.There's no denying his physical skills.But unless your predicting an early knockout(which is his best shot IMO),I just don't see it.Do you really see him staying focused for twelve rounds against someone like Cotto?When he's failed to do that so many times in the past.If it does go the full twelve rounds,and Zab doesn't hurt Miguel at all in that time,do you think Zab will be active enough to get the nod?He seems to have some trouble letting those hands go in the later rounds when he's been discouraged in anyway.Your thought's please...

    Cotto is too slow for Zab, his punches can be seen coming from San Juan, he is a fighter who comes in the front door at all times, doesn't present any latteral movement, little head movement, and doesn't have the chin to withstand a Judah left hook. This is a very bad matchup for him.

      Great Matchup

      This fight seems like an even match to me. The truth is, they're both first-rate welterweights! Zab's a bit faster, Cotto's a bit stronger, but neither has any serious weaknesses in the ring.

      This is going to be one of the best fights of the year.

        Peoeple act like Zab is some sort of defensive wizard. His defense is simply his speed and moving in and out very fast. You cant do that for 12 rounds. Cotto is also very good at stocking his opponents. I mean Baldomir walked Zab down, and he is 10x's as plodding. And people saying saying "Chin" will be a deciding factor and still favoring Zab is totally hilarious. The thing that make Cotto special is he imposes his will on a fight and cant be taken off his game, even if his opponent has early success.

        Zab is like a Jaguar, he is nice to look at, but he will always breakdown in the end.

          Good points,but Judah's chin seems worse IMO.He was rocked by Baldomir for god's sake.Cotto's also the harder puncher IMO.

                baldy didnt "drop" him tho, thats the diffrence... cotto was DROPPED by a bum... Baldy didnt drop judah, he just landed a square shot on the chin, that will Stagger just about anyone... if its a perfect shot

                Ill rate they chins about even

                  I still give Cotto the slightly better chin.But yes it is pretty close.Which is why this fight is so interesting.

                    I see Zab winning because of his speed in hand and foot. Paulie boxed Cotto pretty well and landed well as well. I think Zab is faster and definitely hits harder than Malignaggi. But i don't know if he has Paulie heart or if he can stay focused and stick to the plan if faced with some adversity. And i don't think Zab's chin is weak. He has only been hurt really against Kostya and Baldomir hurt him from fatigue and Zab not traing properly. With all that said, I think Zab is too fast and too athletic to lose june 9th.
