FWIW, Dan Rafael of espn.com (whose info I trust) said this fight is nothing but a rumor. Zab's hand is still injured, he can't train, and there's no way he's ready for a March bout.

FWIW? What's that bro? I think as long as Tony fights,stays active and looks good in order to fight Cotto,I'm happy. Fighting 3 times next year would be quite an achievement for Tony¬!
Why is Judah always brought into the equation?? Whats he done in the last few years![]()
Well for Tony,it would be the best fight out there,especially as all the other big names appear to be tied up. And Margarito would be fighting him when he's coming off 2 wins!I mean everyone else fought the guy when he was coming off losses!Originally Posted by Majesty
Sad thing is, Tony will probably get no credit beating Zab if they do fight and he does win. Alot will say he is shot and just a name; though it seems that has been the case for a while now anyways, but Tony will hear the brunt of it. Still, a known name and one Tony can get serious exposure with, and a dangerous opponent when all is said and done, though I do believe he's already a has been. Tony losing to Zab could ruin his career, and maybe vice-versa. I would be amazed if Zab took this fight. Will bet Zab tries to fight Clottey or Cintron before going at it with Tony.Originally Posted by El Gamo

Well, for starters, he was involved in one of 3 best fights of the year in 2007, a fight that set the all-time attendance record for Madison Square Garden.Originally Posted by Majesty

Danny you would have had a chuckle today mate. A friend called my house telling me that Floyd was fighting MMA. I told him that Floyd will take up cricket before he fights Cotto!Originally Posted by Floyd_Fears_Cotto

This has just a bit of predictability to it like most Zab fights.
Could Judah stop him early? Possibly, not very likely though.
Most likely he has some moments early but then eventually goes into a shell, throwing occasional single power shots in the hopes that something lands and wins him the fight. Meanwhile Margarito gets stronger and stronger, throwing more shots, either winning a decision with a late KD or gets a late stoppage.
I'd love to see Tony finish Zab early and look REALLY good.

Zab has the potential to hurt Tony early on, but not severely enough to stop him coming. Once he sees Tony is there for the long haul, Zab will fold up like a doodlebug and like you said, will get pasted something criminal. I hope it happens.

It'll be superb to see(IF the fight gets made) how Margarito handles Judah's handspeed. It'll be the fastest fighter he has been in with by some margin,6 Heads and Martinez being the only other decent speed fighters he's faced. It'll be interesting but anything less than a Marg knockout would be disspointing.Originally Posted by LEGION
"Doodlebug" ? like a rolly polly? Like an empty soda can under a boot no doubt.Yeh,My S.T.D is all healed up finally just in time for The Holidays.Ya gotta watch what you pick up in these clubs these daysOriginally Posted by LEGION
That was a long 2 weeks
Gotta watch those name bets.
I think Judah will get in some sharp ones but do not think he can dent Tony.Forget the slow starts from Margarito,In this one he Is looking to Immpose himself and demand respect.Hope it Happens.
Definately, the speed is going to cause early problems, but I see Tony absolutely smothering this guy, but he will take some shots. I can even see Tony getting put down on the canvas, but he won't stay down. I would be disappointed as well if it ended in anything other than a k.o., but I can see it happening through some intense body work from Tony. I hope we aren't wasting time talking about this fight; as I would be somewhat shocked to see it get made.Originally Posted by El Gamo
