Zab just needs to be focused.. do his business.. hes got the skill just put the work in and seal a legacy thats based on how great a fighter he was not how much of a tough, new york minded brutal underachiever he can be..Lol

frankly i gotta see if they can pair zab and berto once berto takes the vacant wbc that could be sweet :)

P.s..Fucking NICE sig VD

clotteys in the exact same boat, think theyre called nearly men nowadays.

Zabs always just lacked that little bit of skill required to get him over the line. He has the stamina the heart and the power to hurt anybody between 140-147. But in order to beat your cotto`s, mosleys, mayweathers etc you have to throw 60-70 punches a round and make your opponent think about what he is doing.

Zab was really hurting cotto early on with that straight left lead in, but by 5-6 he seemed to just puff out of steam and cotto had completely worked him out.

This could either be the potential springboard to a world title for zab or the beginging of the end. Clottey will stand there and trade punches for 12rounds and zab has to be prepared to do likewise!!

I don't think Judah hurt Cotto AT ALL in the early rounds or in the fight, for that matter. I do think, however, that Juda, because of his power, made Cotto think twice before committing to a punch in those early rounds. That's what Judah is going to have to do against The Cotto's the Mosleys, and the Clotteys and do it, as you say, more often.

I agree.. i think jaz was doing real well early in the cotto fight..

But the thing i really liked was zabs left uppercut.. He would just keep a few punches out there and try time bringing it up so hard when cotto came in.. caught him good with that counter a few times early!.. But also you gotta admit thats not even really zabs style.. zab is supposed to blow through you.. he comes strait off with fast straits and gets great range with putting strong hooks on his combinations as he walks through.. just very fast.. but theres not alot of fights left for zab right now to be honest..

I dont think clottey is really make or break right now.. i think he has longer then zab tbh ..

Im pretty sure he fights outta the bronx does clottey and i thoink he only really had his coming out party with his good performance against margarito so.. its just hes been spotted late but has a good few fights ahead of him..
Its always been tough for ny fighters to get fights to be honest.. So now hes got more of a name i expect he'll make the most of it while he can..
Clottey and zab is good match making in my opinion though.

Judah probably won't do enough. Although its not like Clottey's a real busy fighter either.

An irrational hatred of clottey????

Ive always enjoyed his fights, your typical african boxer - great punching ability, always fighting on the front foot and never say die attitude.

---

I'm all for irrational hatred for certain fighters, for example Wlad. I could say he's boring after his last fight with Ibragimov but honestly I started disliking him a long time before that. I'm impressed with the irrational hatred of certain forum members around here, for example Bilbo with Christian Mijares. He probably has me beat there.

With Clottey I'm not sure its irrational. I just find him to be a boring fighter. He cruises through fights, he's a bit lazy and I just don't like his fighting style. There may be something irrational about it (its not really hatred, these are just boxers) but there's also just the fact that I don't like his style.

This is all a bit disturbing in a way though. What's next, me and TitoBHB sitting around talking about how under appreciated Paulie Malagnaggi is?

Now you with this Zab talk... :shakehead:

Ouma, don't listen to Mick.

The only thing cooler than Zab himself are the people who root for him. Mick knows this and is insanely jealous. ;)

I'd have to say this is correct.

I don't hate anyone.

But i'll never understand the love for powderpuff.

Claim to fame (his fans cite) - Cotto smashed his face in.

I just don't get it :-\

;D

Daxx Kahn told me one time that any true boxing fan has to enjoy the way Paulie fights. I think I gave him a sad click. Other than that I guess Daxx was all right. :confused:

Who the fukk is Daxx?

Why does Clottey suck all of a sudden? I think he's one of the best 147 pounders out there right now.

He looks to me to be going through the motions as of late & watching the clock.Solid fundamentals but could be more definative with output and good bodywork.....He does not Suck but should light a fire.

according to clottey's record it just doesnt tell me hes going to win by KO or TKO, he doesnt seem to be able to KO top welterweights.

if he wins its going to be by decision of DQ (which is a possibility since we are talking about zab)

Hmm, well for me I've already gone through this on here, I don't think he sucks, I just don't like watching him fight.

Spicoli's right about him totally though.

I agree he has things he should work on. But he is effective with what he has. Yeah he has been looking stale lately but no one at 147 has wanted to fight him. Ever since that Magarito fight he was avoided like the plague, only someone with as much heart as Corrales took him on and now Judah is taking him on.

You guys want to know why Zab Judah always gets these shots? he seems to be the only guy who is giving someone a shot.

No one else was calling out Clotteys name. Not Cotto, not Margarito for a rematch, not anyone else.

This fight is gonna show how talented Clottey is, and if Judah is on his A game(which is like asking Paris Hilton to not have intercourse for a month, she may be telling you she is, but in the back of your mind you're saying "someone is banging her!" same with Judah, he'll say "this fight im focused" but in the back of your mind you're always saying "watch him screw this up"

But if Judah is on his A game as Clottey will be then this will be a very exciting fight.
