    Please. I have long maintained that my knowledge is 20000 times the sum total of you combined but let's make it official.

    Zab has a good shot. Not that he is very good (which he isn't) but because the fatboy is facing a guy nearly his size and he won't like that

    I'm not sure what exactly you define as a "good shot", but I think Zab is a live underdog. I don't think Zab will win, but it wouldn't surprise me that much if he did.

    If I were to put it in percentages, I guess I'd say Zab has about a 30-35% chance of winning.

    Ok. I think that is slightly high but reasonable. I say 25% or a 1 in 4 chance meaning this is not a competetive fight. You are reprieved.

    25% seems reasonable to me too. Why always exagerate Ike? The way you're talking I thought you gauged his chances at about 1% :lol: .

    Zab's shot is a win by KO. He will never outpoint Cotto, he'll be too scared. I give him a shot early though, not because Zab is good but because Cotto has a glass chin.

    25% chance of winning is not a competitve fight. 40-50% is right for competition.

    I think it's an easy fight for Cotto. And a B.S. PPV - it should be on BAD - that's how predictable it is.

    For those questioning Judah's chances we need remember that Cotto hasn't quite proven himself to be elite yet. This is in fact his biggest test to date, so the odds of him failing aren't that unlikely. After his move to 147 and his destruction of what's his face, the "Cotto's fighting bums" talk went completely away. Now everyone has already penciled in his W against Judah.

    I have said in several other threads that I think Judah has a very good chance of winning this fight. I haven't made an official pick yet, but I am leaning towards going with the upset. I plan on watching some more Cotto tapes this weekend before I choose.

    I don't know why people dismiss Cotto's chin issues in the past as much as they do. He will need to be able to take a shot to beat Zab. Judah will make Cotto look slow and plodding at times during this fight.

    If Cotto wins, it'll be one that he earns.

    The fact that Cotto made 140 and is undefeated is amazing, even considering his weak level of opposition. The guy is a big welter.He is a thick guy. His chin may or may not be weak, but weigh loss had a lot to do with it, imo and Zab isn't a puncher.

    How is that amazing?

    Everything can be excused if you try hard enough.

    The guy looked pretty bad at each weigh in. I don't even like Cotto or think he is as great as people say.

    I dont think he'll win, but he has a good shot, especially early. My official prediction is Cotto by mid-to-late round TKO.
