For 1, he is fighting Pito his next fight, a pretty good lightweight 4 years ago. That shows how far Zab has fallen. He's lost 2 of his last 3 fights, one to Carlos Baldomir. He has had horrible outings against average fighters in the past while Cotto is a star on the rise.

If he beats Cotto he gains a ton of legitimacy again. You can't honestly think that Cotto brings nothing to the table for Zab. I'll give you one more. When Cotto faces a journeyman, HBO travels to Puerto Rico to cover it. Zab is fighting in the states on ESPN 2. But of course Zab has nothing to gain.
Totally agree...but Judah may still have enough to give Cotto some troubles...atleast for the first 5 rounds.

No doubt. It's actually very funny. You can count on a good 5 rounds from Judah and nothing more. We all talk about how inconsistent he is but....well he's consistent in what he gives us At least he was in 2006.
Here's the thing...as much as I hate Judah (and I mean HATE with a capital HATE!) as a person, he's a hell of a boxer. He's fast, he's powerful, & he's championship material...BUT...he's also unreliable...on top of being a fwockin asshole.

I truely do believe that he'll come in focused & either upset Cotto or give him the fight of his life. Cotto is to easy to be hit. He's always there to be found for most of the second & third tier fighter's shots...I have to think that as accurate & as slick as Judah is...the night will not be in Cotto's favor.

That being said...I'd love nothing more than to see Judah toes up counting light bulbs in a square circle somewhere in New York.
