Zab is a hasbeen.....
All Cotto will be doing is something that Spink, Baldomir & PBF already did.....
What will it prove that Cotto can beat hasbeens?
On the other hand if he fights anyone of the top Welters. Margarito, SSM, PBF (If he continues to fight), Cintron, Williams the fight will mean something positive for him.... IMO
I think you're selling this fight short by saying that a Cotto win would prove nothing.
The type of fighter that Cotto is... this type of fighter is usually most bothered by fast fighters who want to fight on the outside.
If Cotto catches Judah with a big punch and KO's him, then maybe that doesn't prove much, because everyone already knows that Judah has a suspect chin.
But if Cotto can go in there and outbox Judah, negate his speed, win the vast majority of the rounds... then that would prove something significant. If Cotto can outbox Judah from the opening bell in addition to overpowering him, then that proves a lot.
I personally think that if Cotto can show he's not bothered by Judah's speed, that would prove just as much, maybe even more, than a win over Antonio "Slow Motion" Margarito would have.
