When Tyron Mullet knocked him down, Zab came back to KO his ass. Why do you think he'll just shut down the first time he gets hurt against Cotto?
Because he shut down the first time he got hurt against Baldomir. And when Floyd hurt him, he never was aggressive nor did he win a round afterwards.
Those are his last two fights, and neither of them were comparable to Miguel Cotto in terms of power.
I didn't think Floyd Mayweather ever hurt Judah in that fight, mighta stunned him but never had him hurt. The tempo of the fight just shifted to Floyd and Zab could never get it back, till he hit him in the nuts and back of the head. Stop actin like Cotto is some unstoppable powerhouse, I like the guy myself and he's a great body puncher, but was he rockin Urkal all over the place? No. Didn't Lovemore Ndou go the distance with him in a close fight? Yes. How about Paulie fukin Malinaggi? Unfortunately yes, he did. So its not like he's just gonna erase Zab Judah, least not IMO.
Mayweather did hurt Judah, and Judah did that little ninja thing with his hands where he kept moving them.
And I don't think Cotto is unstoppable. In fact he's far from it and there are a couple guys I would take over him. But Judah just isn't one of them. People talk about the style matchup and it favoring Judah but I pretty much disagree completely.
Cotto's best fight to date has been with a slick southpaw in Quintana. While Quintana is not like Judah on the offensive end, he still wasn't able to back Cotto up and he was the bigger man that fight.
Lovermore Ndou took Cotto the distance, but I saw Pineda beat Judah and get the short end at the scorecards. The difference is, Cotto has improved and stepped his game up another level since and Judah hasn't. Except against the light hitting Spinks who he had moving backwards.
Judah's chance is to catch Cotto coming in, with all the angles Judah presents that is a possibility, but Cotto throws a lot coming inside now as well as moving out. And Zab Judah is good from the outside, decent on the inside and horrible in between. That's usually the sign of a good boxer with a ton of flaws and that's what Judah has. I know Cotto isn't invincible, and I'm not going to get into hunger or anything like that, but I think he is better suited to expose Judah's flaws then Judah is to expose Cotto's. It might be close early on, but I believe once Cotto turns on the gas it's over. Maybe not a knockout, but I don't think the bout is going to be as close as it would seem on paper.
