    Zab Judah dubbed himself "Lucky Lefty" during the lead-up to his fight with Joshua Clottey. And while he found himself on the wrong end of a technical decision, Clottey's bicep injury means Judah might just get the call against Antonio Margarito.


    At least Judah brings fireworks and he CAN crack. We'll see Tony's chin tested.
    We've already seen Margarito's chin tested by harder punchers than Judah and it's no secret that he can take a punch.

    I don't see how people would want to watch Margarito vs. a dude who lost to Baldomir & Mayweather in 2006, Cotto in 2007 and Clottey in 2008. All his biggest fights in the past 3 years. A win over him at this point would do nothing for Marg's resume or legacy.

      Luis Collazo is available...

      Now we're talking about a Nov 1st fight...that's only 3 months from Marg's last fight, which is sort of short notice for another PPV card to be built...and since HBO seems to be a better choice anyway for a "showcase" fight to the viewing public who still aren't convinced of purchasing a Margarito headlined PPV event, the only fighter I can think of who will provide enough challenge to please hardcore fans and entertain casual fans both is...

      Luis Collazo

      Zab did not entertain last night enough to warrant another title shot, he did not show any attributes against Clottey that would even entertain the thought of pulling off an upset against the Tijuana Tornado, and he has not shown blazing power since 2005...3 years ago

      I like Zab for his athletic talent, I still believe he's mentally unstable and has very questionable stamina. I'd love to see him in against a fighter such as Carlos Quintana, Isaac Hlatswayo, or maybe even Alfonso Gomez just to keep his name relavant enough to avoid "gate-keeper" status.

      As for Clottey, I was wondering why they were constantly rubbing his left arm, and he should not rush into anything...there's plenty of talent in this division, no need to put your future in jeopardy, there's PLENTY of challenges here at Welterweight, your time will come.

        Judah stands no chance against Marg, it's going to be a walk in the park.
        It's funny how people who have never worked in boxing pull remarks like "He brings more money to the table" out of his ass. If you never worked in boxing or are privileged to that information, how do you know?

          Judah is fast, but he doesnt have the power to keep Tony off him, he will get walked down with relative ease.

            This is a ****ing travesty. Hope Clottey returns better than ever. He did a real good job of hiding the injury.

                really?...

                This goes for anybody

                If Marg/Judah gets made, I'll bet everything I've got that Marg beats Judah
                I've never bet before so I'm not sure how things go down, but I gotta take this opportunity

                  He got cut you fool. He didn't **** up. He fought on even terms with a big, highly rated welterweight and was unfortunate to go out on a TD. If anything Zab becomes more relevant after this fight. He showed he's still got a lot left in the tank.

                  That said Margarito is a bad style match for Zab

                    I can't believe how Judah can remain relevant after all these years.

                      If he fought on even terms with Clottey, then why was Judah's face ****ed up and not Clottey's?

                      This fight showed that he should be on a club show in Arkansas fighting for tickets, not on his way to his seventh loss.
