Collazo had just fought Mosley 3 months earlier and had broken his hand. He wasn't available. Williams was stuck fighting his #1 mandatory contender. Clottey had just fought Corrales 2 months before, that's too quick a turnaround.

Ya, I guess Cintron was available, but let's be honest, Cintron didn't really announce that he was back as a legit contender until a month after the Cotto-Judah fight, when he KO'd Matthysse.

This is what I mean, it's easy to list all these guys who seem more deserving than Zab, but if you really look into it, you'd see that almost all of these names weren't really options, and therefore Zab was deserving of the shot he got.
