I just hope Judah was listening.

judah has heart, more than anyone in the sport right now.
but there's absolutley nothin he could have done against cotto, his arms are just too short. cotto would have broke him down either way. the only time judah could shine, is when cotto left himself open inside by way of lack of defense or by way of a lazy punch. wich cotto does rarely of both.
styles make fights, and it was a ****** fight for judah to take. he should have waited for hatton, castillo, margarito, or williams. -
I do not agree. He has the speed to take Cotto down, but he lacks the heart to stay in there and trade. And also like Sweet Pea said, he should have been circling to this right all night. That keeps him at an advantage. His corner should have been telling him that.Comment

maybe, but somthin tells me if judah would try to trade with cotto. cotto would just be too much for him to take.
zab's hardest punch is a loaded up left. his flurry's and his right hand never were really that powerfull. i think he knew it, cause he's fast, has incredible instincs and reflexes, but yet he was hesitant to counter and trade all night, even with those amazing speed, instincts, and reflexes. i think that's cause he knew what might come back at him from cotto if he decided to try to counter or trade.
thats what seperated him against floyd, floyd can pot shot all night, flat footed, and at angles.
judah cant, he can only throw a loaded left. that left is probably the fastest punch in the sport hands down, but when it's taken away, or when it loses speed after he gets tired, zab cant really do anything else. i really dont think he can even set up a modern great fighter for that left hand of his late in the rounds. atleast not with his dad trainin him.Comment

Did Sweet Pea say anything about Cal Brock, the boxer he's now training?Comment

Judah COULD and CAN beat Cotto. That is a well known truth and anyone that knows boxing knows that. I think it's time people start being completely objective. Cotto won, but Judah is CAPABLE of beating him. That is to take nothing away from Cotto. Cotto definitely has promise and he seems like a decent man.
Just because you won the fight does not mean your opponent was not capable of beatig you. He just did not beat you.Comment

your not hearin me, any fighter with reach and a sense of boxing can fend off cotto. the dude's primary punches are quick powerfull hooks, BUT they're hooks,and when cotto throws straight punches, his arms are always hangin out and his chin is just sittin there afterwards for a brief moment. torres confused cotto with straights and hooks, and so did chop chop. even pinto stung cotto with his reach. they all got away with it, because they had decent reach, and in each of those fights...you knew cotto was gonna be hit with somthin hard. you could always feel it comin.
zab doesnt have a reach, doesnt have a great jab. wich makes zab judah's little non reaching body, meat for miguel cotto. zab looked like a ****in heavy bag all night. just sittin there, gettin smashed.
williams has a slow load up with both hands (from the only 3 fights i seen him in.) he's too big for his own good, he throws punches like lurch. zab gets a split second inside of williams, and i'd personally bet williams would get dismantled, and id bet that zab can get inside williams pretty easily. of course if im wrong, id eat my own words, but ill take that risk. with my eyes closed. with one leg tied to the back of my thigh.
zab's got the speed and reflexes to get past that lurch ass jab and right hand.
if sharmba mitchel can land a full power right when he's tryin his hardest too, lol my common sense tells me zab can land lefts just about when ever he pleases, zab can do that and probably more.Comment

why didnt he beat him then? if cotto was right there for the picking?
lol cause zab couldnt afford to see what was comin from cotto after whatever he threw. cotto's not the fastest, but hes fast enough to catch the quickest. he's brilliant at placin shots, zab's infamous head movement was useless. cotto knew wich way zab was gonna turn and dip. lol that's what makes cotto, cotto.
forget about his power, you should be more concerned when his gloves are up and he's just lookin at you. cause he's not waitin for you to hit him, he's watchin where your god damn head moves lol, and if its out of reach, that means a quick ass sledge hammer is comin for your body. before you know it, your quick ass reflexes your use to depending on, dont mean ****. cause he's fast enough..
you add that to the fact his body shots feel like medicine balls, and that will leave you hesitant all night. so now do you focus on your head movement? or do you prepare for body shots? oh..well...you dont know? and you wanna try to protect both by bracing yourself for both?...well, thats how you get broken down.
especially if you cant fend cotto off with a jab or a significant right or left. wich zab had neither of.
only way zab was gonna win that night, if he he was on some sweet pea typea ****...runnin 3 or 4 yards backwards after a single jab lol, and THAT would only work of zab had a jab to begin with.Comment
