Good fight, and DON'T count out Judah. Margarito is the fav. but Judah is still a fine boxer with great speed. Picking Zab would be hard though, but I give him a lot more chance than most people... both of them having problems in defence so it could be a KO either way.
The other thing: Arum talked about a Cotto-Clottey, Margarito-Castillo double header for march a few weeks ago. Now if it'll be a sole Margarito card it means that Cotto-De La Hoya is looking good for may.
I think Margarito has the beating of Judah. Judah may keep it competitive early on but sooner or later Margarito will put the pressure on and get to Judah one way or another.
Judah can win this. His speed advantage is insane. Margarito does not have half the hand speed of a cotto. Judah would feel the pressure but he handles it a lot better. The thing is, Margarito does not get tired often. But he was GASED out in the Williams fight and Williams closed the show on him the fresher fighter. You want to know why. Williams made Margarito swing and completely miss by sliding out of the way as most good southpaws do. Judah is very good at this. Margaritos jab is too slow. Judah can keep him turning and counter punch him at will. Margarito did not get gased against Clottey b/c he was landing on gloves. Judah is not going to block shots(which dont take as much energy as making somebody just miss) he is going to keep Margarito turning and throw quick uppercuts and left hands. As long as Judah keeps his stamina up Margarito will be wild, tired and sloppy about round 7 or 8. Judah should go for the gold then.
If Judah doesnt start throwing Atomic bombs in the first three rounds he will surprise everyone with a easy decision. The problem is just like his mentor Tyson he only concentrate on landind huge shots and ending things early. If he would just pot shot and move and save some for championship rounds he wins easy with his far superior speed buttttttttt he wont.
