Zab just needs to be focused.. do his business.. hes got the skill just put the work in and seal a legacy thats based on how great a fighter he was not how much of a tough, new york minded brutal underachiever he can be..Lol

frankly i gotta see if they can pair zab and berto once berto takes the vacant wbc that could be sweet

P.s..Fucking NICE sig VD

clotteys in the exact same boat, think theyre called nearly men nowadays.

Zabs always just lacked that little bit of skill required to get him over the line. He has the stamina the heart and the power to hurt anybody between 140-147. But in order to beat your cotto`s, mosleys, mayweathers etc you have to throw 60-70 punches a round and make your opponent think about what he is doing.

Zab was really hurting cotto early on with that straight left lead in, but by 5-6 he seemed to just puff out of steam and cotto had completely worked him out.

This could either be the potential springboard to a world title for zab or the beginging of the end. Clottey will stand there and trade punches for 12rounds and zab has to be prepared to do likewise!!
I agree.. i think jaz was doing real well early in the cotto fight..

But the thing i really liked was zabs left uppercut.. He would just keep a few punches out there and try time bringing it up so hard when cotto came in.. caught him good with that counter a few times early!.. But also you gotta admit thats not even really zabs style.. zab is supposed to blow through you.. he comes strait off with fast straits and gets great range with putting strong hooks on his combinations as he walks through.. just very fast.. but theres not alot of fights left for zab right now to be honest..

I dont think clottey is really make or break right now.. i think he has longer then zab tbh ..

Im pretty sure he fights outta the bronx does clottey and i thoink he only really had his coming out party with his good performance against margarito so.. its just hes been spotted late but has a good few fights ahead of him..
Its always been tough for ny fighters to get fights to be honest.. So now hes got more of a name i expect he'll make the most of it while he can..
Clottey and zab is good match making in my opinion though.
