Judah has the talent and style to give Cotto trouble if he is properly motivated for this fight. One key point is that people tend to forget is that Judah is a good puncher. Even though he lost to Carlos Baldomir and Floyd Mayweather, Baldomir is very durable with a good chin, and Mayweather is slick and tough to hit with a solid shot, so Judah's power wasn't as evident in those two fights. but against Cotto, it may become more evident because Cotto gets hit an awful lot for a world class fighter and his chin isn't the best, but he's come back from being down and hurt so he does have a ton of heart. I think this will be a much tougher fight for Cotto than people expect. If Zab is in shape and motivated, he could pull off the upset, but anything less, and Cotto stops him late.

You know, if this fight were made about a year or two ago, Zab would actually be the favorite? Zab has been great. The man is not really that much over the hill. He might have lost to Carlos Baldomir, but Zab wasn't motivated in that fight. He was looking forward to his mega showdown with the Pretty Boy. Besides, it was Baldomir's time. I don't think you should criticize Judah for his shaky moments in the ring with Baldo. Look what happened to Gatti, he got knocked out! Zab's last outing was against Mayweather, his loss is excusable, he lost to the best man in the game! He even gave Floyd a hard time doing so. On a personal note, I felt that the scorecards should have been closer in that fight. Something like 116-112 or 115-113.
Cotto, on the other hand, has been mythical. He's been a beast. He defeated tough and world-rated oppositions convincingly. He's still undefeated.
In predicting the outcome of this fight, I think it will be Judah by decision. Zab has more experience and stamina. In terms of power, I think it is more or less equal. The final scores will be something like this: 115-113, 116-111, 114-114. I wouldn't be surprised too if Zab quits on his stool.

Once Zab gets caught, he won't hang around: he'll get on that bicycle and peddle! I think Cotto catches Zab hard, early, finally catches up with Zab, and sparks Zab out in Round 7, because there are questions over Zab's chin and heart. Plus, I feel Cotto has much more heart and hunger, will be looking to better what Baldomir and Mayweather did against Zab.

Interesting fight to say the least. Cotto is the more powerful fighter and loooked great when he took out paulie malignaggi. I think Zab will go the distance but will not win the decision. Cotto is undefeated, hungry, and young. Judah is no push over and expect to see him fight one of his best fights of his career and will have to wait and anticipate who will win.
Cotto wins a close decision.

Based on Zab's recent meltdowns I'm going to go with Cotto. Zab lost to baldomir who can't punch or move his feet to well. I think Cotto will truly hurt him.

Depends on which Judah shows up, if it is the serious Judah, then Zab will win. If it is the Half *** then Cotto will

Cotto is too strong, Judah would try and slug with him and that would be a mistake, Cotto by TKO late in the fight.

If judah boxes, Cotto could be in for a long night. But should he decide to slug it out, he's going to get knocked out. He doesn't have the greatest chin. (Tzyu proved that, and Cory sphinx knocked him down.)
