Apparently Felix doesn't think so and said Zab would knock him out in 4 rounds ;D
Can you give me a link to that please, I think that is hilarious because usually Puerto Ricans stick together and Zab is not an A class fighter.

That's just Zab talking shit but Tito has been known to be an asshole before, but I thought Tito could not speak english and Zab could not speak spanish, that shit is confusing but funny. Maybe a translator just pulled some shit.

Zab can speak spanish, Mayorga is one of his best friends ;) And I'm pretty sure Trinidad can speak English if he wanted to but just chooses not to. Like Duran ;)
Re: Is the Prince of Puerto Rico ready to step in and become the king
I don't think Cotto will ever be as legendary as Tito but he certainly has the tools to make his own legend. He does not want to be the new Tito,he wants to be Miguel Cotto and leave his own legacy,which I believe he will. I too believe that he can beat everyone at 147 although Margarito and Mosley would be tough tough fights. I fully expect him to beat Zab.

I think Tito would have put him to sleep if they would have fought against each other at 147. (Even to this day if Tito could make weight)
Re: Is the Prince of Puerto Rico ready to step in and become the king
Yep totally agree,I don't see anyone at 147 or 154 that could beat Tito right now especially at 147,he would KTFO everyone there.
Re: Is the Prince of Puerto Rico ready to step in and become the king
What about If it was Tito vs Juah in either 147 or 154 what do you guys think it would be the outcome?
Edited:
oops I see you opinion in your post. The problem is that today most of the people know the blueprint to beat Tito I think that is the main reason he retire. But for me HE can put to sleep Williams, Margo, Super chin Baldo only boxers like Cotto among some like that could get away  losing by UD. One of Tito abilities that most don't realize is his stamina is very hard to throw Bombs with both hands for 12 rounds non stoping.

Re: Is the Prince of Puerto Rico ready to step in and become the king
Zab Judah could beat Miguel Cotto but i dont think he will .
Cotto has a certain will and self belief that puts him onanother tier to the likes of Judah whom whilst talented doesnt not posssess the mental aptitude to be an elite fighter.
You can see Judah having his moments and a chance of ko early but honestly i dont see him living with the pressure Cotto brings , Judah has a chance for sure any puncher does against Cotto ( Torres ) but id back the class of Cotto to shine through after a hard nights work
I prefer Cotto to relax sometimes he is a bit sqaure and front footed and gets hitwith straight punches and uppercuts whilst going for the kill .
He's made reference to using the jab more and id aggree with him .
So far so good .
MC is his own man there was only one Tito let the kid develop into a great figther .
Tito had to live with being compared to Benitez and Gomez

A little late on the answer.... Sorry! :(
Re: Is the Prince of Puerto Rico ready to step in and become the king
I may be missing something but wot is the big deal with Zab Judah he lost to spinks / baldimer / and has a glass jaw i think Cotto wins inside 3 myself.
As for Mayweather id love to see him and Cotto get it on :)

That's just Zab talking S*** but Tito has been known to be an asshole before, but I thought Tito could not speak english and Zab could not speak spanish, that S*** is confusing but funny. Maybe a translator just pulled some S***.

Zab has said that he and Tito are good friends. I don't know if this is true or not but if it is then it might just be a case of a guy rooting for his buddy and nothing personal against Cotto. Although, if Tito was smart(major doubts here) he would not allow that statement to be made public so as not to antagonize all of Cotto's puertorrican fans.

Felix Trinidad set the standard for boxing in Puerto Rico and the Ricans are dying for Cotto to reach that status. Of course he is his own man but he has big shoes to fill so he has to start taking big fights. Tito did a damn good job with his accomplishments with comparisons to Benitez and Gomez

You ain't missing a thing, it's them (the Zab believers) who are missing a few brain cells..... I like to call them 'delusional'.......
