It wont happen. I watched Cotto-Judah and Cotto slowly took him out. I doubt it was cause of the low blows because he was still quick. Cotto's body punches took him down slowly. Also he bullied the **** out of Judah and thats his weakness. I doubt he will i'd like to see him go up there but not ahead of anyone i like such as Cotto

Everyone says he has the potential and they're all right. He has the most potential of almost every boxer out. But he's a dumbass so what do you expect. He had the potential to be as good as Floyd Mayweather. He let himself go. He hangs out with thugs and probably drinks/smokes. He's not dedicated and i wish he was. He's still one of my favorites.

This one is tough to call. I know both guys have it in them to be great on any given night, but neither looked impressive in each of their last two decision wins that I've seen. I realize Clottey go a KO after those, but I didn't see it. A part of me thinks the smart pick is easily Clottey, the more disciplined and defensively sound fighter who isn't flashy, but gets the job done methodically. The other part of me always wants to pick Judah for the flashes of brilliance he's shown. He has great speed and decent power and is definitely the most stylistically pleasing to watch, but he can be such a loose cannon and on one night he may look like a world beater, but the next he might look like a chump.

If the Zab that I expect shows up Clottey will win a decision.

Judah doesn't need to worry about Clottey's fists nearly as much as his head. That dude's dome is his most effective weapon. Clottey's defense is tight, but his chin is big and there to hit at times. Should be a fun fight, but I gotta go with the safer bet in Clottey.

Clottey has very quick hands man, he doesnt come close to Judah but those hands are fast. Clottey's defense is tight and he can hit hard. I cant see Judah beating him now, the only advantage he possesses is speed, but he couldnt capitalize it even against Baldomir.

I agree 100%. 'However,' considering the favorite's conventional style, ironically it gives Judah a puncher's chance in the antithetical sense, meaning, he might just out-maneuver Clottey where Clottey tries to out-work him. But Clottey is big, taller than Margy, so it might just be a demolition in the same sense as Cotto-Margarito. There's even blatant ads for Clottey-Margarito 2 already, so it may seem kind of obvious that Judah would lose. Who knows, maybe this so-called Gate-keeper is just taking another beating for another payday; kind of like the fight is rigged cuz everyone knows Judah quits on hard challenges. If Judah wasn't such a pothead I'd definately go for value with him in the betting booth, but he's a stoner. But if he's well-conditioned and ready to be the pugilist, we'll have a good fight on our hands, and possibly a career comeback at the ripe age of 30 something. Highly doubtful. You can tell I'm an impartial fan.
