    ....Well, I think he's a ****in idiot for one. But the real reason is that I think Cotto will be too strong, Zab is waaaaaaay overrated, and he's also on the decline. True that I do hate him, but I also truly believe he's gonna get his ass kicked. In fact, he may quit on his stool or do some other ****** **** to get out of the fight via DQ.

      Zab isn't a 12 round fighter, Cotto is. I'm sure "focused" Zab came in for the first 2 rounds against the slower Tszyu, but that didn't seem to matter.

      Even if Cotto dominates this fight, which I'm pretty sure he will, it will be another "Zab wasn't focused, prime Judah does so and so, blah blah" type deals.

      Just like Roy Jones at the end of his career, Zab fans will continue to use excuses for him.

        ....And in that fight Tszyu figured him out pretty quickly. People try to say it was a lucky shot that started the chicken dance but Tszyu was starting to reach him prior to that, and Zab was in deep ****. It was an easy fight for Kostya.

          At his best, Tszyu beats damn near everyone in the division and that includes Cotto. For the division, when he ruled he did it with ease against some pretty good fighters, Kostya was one bad ass little dude in his prime....

            Funny, I was just describing this "hatred for Judah" thing to my partner..


            Personally, I think Zab Judah is a goddamn prick.



            However, it doesn't get in the way of me picking fights.

                Have you ever trained for a contact sport? Ever been to an actual boxing gym?

                If a fighter looks drawn up in the face as Cotto does in the pics I saw, it is because of a lack of fluids. Now, since I have explained that, I will also explain to you what happens to a fighters' brain when he doesn't take in enough fluids - HE GETS KNOCKED THE F_CK OUT!

                The reason for that is, that the fluid sack that protects the brain gets depleated, thus making the fighters brain rattle in his skull. So, the normal amount of fluid protects the brain from slamming into the skull, the dehydrated fighter is at much greater risk for not only concussions, (KO's) but brain bleeds as well.

                Class dismissed, you may go back to your video games now...

                    i will take that over my head but i still know a excuse when i hear one and that is a prefight excuse is it not??? if he lose saturday u would point to that instead of giving full credit to Zab


                    excuse - justification blah blah blah "to excuse" means to grant or obtain an exemption for a group of persons sharing a common characteristic from a potential liability

                      I think there's a misunderstanding..

                      SoundTraveler has had Zab Judah since February and has never once wavered - the "excuse" argument you're making is utterly anomalous.


                      Why would he make excuses for a fighter that he says will be knocked out?
