    Who wins and why? Is it too high of weight for Chico or too low for Judah?

    Chico. He put up a pretty good fight against Clottey... his mistake was taking Clottey for his FIRST fight at 140. I don't think he realized just how tough he was, and he should have taken on a few lesser guys and settled into the weight a little bit first.

    I think Diego beats most jr. WW fighters that night, Clottey has an iron chin. Diego landed some good shots but just couldn't hurt him enough to back him up.

    The Clottey fight was a catchweight of 149, not 140.

    ----

    On point, Zab wins this by KO in my opinion. Corrales didn't belong at 140+ and Judah was too strong at 140 and carried his power all the way to 147.

    I don't think Chico with his shaky beard would have faired well against a fast puncher like Judah at 140. Diego might be able to score a knockdown at one point, but in the end I see Judah bombing him out with that vicious left cross of his.

    yep my bad, same thing but even more so at WW. I don't think Zab can stop Chico, not sure Zab belongs at 147 himself. Either guy could win it, but I just think Chico's heart would carry him thru, if Zab can't stop him he'll wilt under the pressure sooner or later. We don't really know how much of his punch Corrales carried into WW because off the top of my head, I can't think of anyone else who's hurt Clottey either. Maybe against a guy with a lesser chin he would have done better. Maybe if he would have given himself some time before taking on Clottey he would have done better against Clottey. We will never know.

    Zab would be too fast for Chico. it would almost be like Chico vs Floyd.

    Zab for me.... just as fast as Floyd with more power and we all saw what Floyds speed did to Chico. Chico was a good fighter but i think can be over rated at times

    Id pick Zab by stoppage.

    Zab always looks great the first 3rd or half of the fight then fades down the stretch but I think he can stop Corrales before the second half of the fight. Hes got too much speed and power for Chico
