    Does Anyone Think Zab Could Give Margarito Trouble?

    1st I want to ask did Zab get another trainer to help in this camp? I know people were saying it a few months ago but I havent heard it lately. Will it still just be Yoel?

    When I think about a Zab-Margarito fight, Im 50/50. Part of me thinks that Margarito will eventually kill him because Zab isnt big at WW, he easily loses focus, and you just cant trust him. With that being said, he is as talented as anyone in the game, he's southpaw, and he's mad quick. I think styles make fights and I could see Zab being a hard matchup. Margarito is super super super slow while Zab is super fast. I could see him catching Margarito alot with that speed and Southpaw style. You look at the troubles Margarito had with Cotto & Clottey's quick hands and Santos southpaw style.

    Zab isnt a huge puncher at WW but he's still explosive and Santos hurt Margarito a couple of times in that lefty stance. Im actually really surprise that Cotto didnt use that more since he's solid at it. I know that people will say that Baldy walked through Zab but that was still a close fight, Zab clearly underestimated him, and I think a prime Baldy has a even better chin the Margarito with more overall boxing skill. He doesnt have the punch output of Margarito and the relentless style though. None of this probably matters as Clottey could easily beat Zab this weekend but I wouldnt mind seeing either of those guys against Margarito if he dodges the Williams fight.

      No. Zab would be a Mayweather to a lesser degree. He would bring his running shoes but eventually get gunned down. Isnt he fighting Clottey this week? I think Clottey will stop him as well, or win a pretty easy decision

          Zab is the type of fighter you want to keep beleiving but yet lets you down in every fight. He can give Margarito problems with his great hand speed, im not sure that he can hurt him at all, but Zab is known for fading late in fights & that you just cant do with Margarito.

            No there's nothing in Judah's arsenal to keep Margarito honest. He will walk through everything. I'm sure Judah would be able to avoid Tony for a while. But after a few rounds he'll slow and Margarito will finish the job.

              Yea he could. Problem is, he FADES. And has trouble with intense pressure. But Marg will have a hard time finding him early.

                  And you aren't as confident about Clottey?

                    Jesus Christ no...

                    Margarito can take Zab's shots. Early knockout for Zab is out of the question.

                    Zab can kick anyone's ass in the middle of the ring if they are trying to box and pick their shots, but Margarito doesn't do that. High speed chess match decision victory for Zab is not in the cards.

                    What kind of opponents has Zab Judah been beaten by?
                    Kostya Tszyu, which actually didn't say a lot about Zab, just that he couldn't take a right hand from Tszyu, which most people can't.
                    Cory Spinks, which was a real close fight that a lot of people think went the wrong way, and Judah avenged it in a rematch.
                    Baldomir, Mayweather and Cotto ALL lost the early rounds until they started coming forward, which Zab seems to have extreme trouble fighting against. Seriously, the trick to beating Judah is pressuring him and making him go backwards, because he just seems incapable of fighting effectively if he is being pressured.

                    What does Margarito do 100% of the time? Come forward. Judah gets knocked out in this one, 100% guaranteed. And there is never a fight that I feel is a 100% guarantee, but, seriously, this one is it. No ****ing way in hell that Judah can or will win this one.
