Just as easy for me to say you can have all the heart, courage, and determination in the world, but if you lack athletisicm, ability, speed, timing, you'll never be anything more than a journeyman who will lose his only big fight to a real athlete like Cotto. Zab would KO Margarito, watch the Clottey fight again.. Margarito get's timed and beat to the punch easily before Clottey hurts his hand. And Judah is better than Clottey in most every way. Not as durable, but he is faster with more pop, and Id expect him to have Tony out by the mid rounds. Margarito is a total plodder, he doesn't have what it takes to beat Judah or Cotto. He is too slow, only throws wide shots, horrible defence and footspeed. I know we've had this arguement so many times but really the Clottey fight just displays what mediocre skills Tony really has. He's not beating any elite fighter, EVER.
