    I love Zab, I think he's actually a much nicer guy than he portrays himself.

    I also have NO problem understanding him, although I'm a Brit. Americans annunciate very clearly as a general rule, so perhaps they're not used to hearing people chew their words. Try understanding what a glaswegian says, or even my family from the black country. i struggle with them.

      I've been lucky enough to meet Zab and I have nothing bad to say about him. He's a fun-loving guy who enjoys what he does...quite the opposite from the PERCEPTION (note emphasis) of Tyson, who many believed to be a jerk and of course, as we've all realized, didn't necessarily loved what he did for a living.

      Love him or hate him, Zab makes for great fight intrigue. Personally, I'm more excited about this fight than I would be for Cotto-Margarito or Cotto-Williams. The only opponents Cotto could face that I'd be more excited about would be Floyd or Oscar. Even Mosley wouldn't excite me more than Zab, I guess it's just the unpredictability factor combined with the power and chin issues.

      I think it will be a fantastic fight early, and the atmosphere should be unreal. It may even approach Tito standards.

      However, I have one nagging concern. If Judah gets hurt to the body early or starts running out of gas, does he get on his bike and make it a stinker? He's fully capable of that, kind of like what he did in the last half of the Floyd fight.

        I saw him and most of Prizefight Boxings' team at the airport yesterday, as they were flying up to NYC, I was flying into Memphis where Zab has been living/training for this fight. He said "yo you on this flight too yo?" I said no, I am just arriving here - so he says "yo come get on this plane let's go!"

        I explained I had biz to take care of in Memphis, so after a quick handshake, hug, and fist daps I said to Zab - "WIN THIS." Zab immediately said "I got this JD." I looked him straight in the eyes, and I am telling you right now, he is definately serious - he is going to win on Saturday...

              I met Zab at Kennedy airport a few months back....very kool guy and surprisingly wasn't traveling with an entourage or anything. What surprised me most was how big these welters look on TV, but looking at Judah in real life he looks as if you can pick him up and throw him across the room with no problem.

                LMAO ! I've got him by about 60 lbs., but you know, at 45 years old, I don't think I want any of that quick little dude. He is not only fast as hell, he has bigtime power too and I have no doubt in my mind that Cotto is in over his head in this one.

                  thats how i felt when i met mayweather in SF after he beat chavez.

                  i'm still in awe, pac was on that undercard and no one gave a **** about that fight, who knew he'd be so big, i'm tellin' ya you couldn't tell from that fight.
