Cotto vs Judah? Bad fight for Cotto to take, IWO.

Judah's speed might be a factor against Cotto.

Thoughts?
I wasn't overly impressed with Cotto, although I have to think that part of it was that Urkal wasn't doing anything to allow him to look good.
When you're facing an old, well-schooled opponent whose main priority is to survive and not to launch a big attack of his own, it's tough to look good.

I've said all along that Judah will give Cotto problems in the early rounds that he hasn't faced before. I just have to think that Cotto's body shots will eventually wear down Judah both mentally and physically.
However, anyone who thinks Judah will just be a walkover for Cotto is wayyyyyy off base in my opinion. I remember when Judah-Cotto was announced, some people posted that Cotto beating Judah "wouldn't prove anything," and that statement is ridiculous in my opinion.
