I don't think u can call him savior based on that crowd. That was a NY PR crowd of course he is going to get that reaction. I don't think he can get that same reaction in Vegas. I will hold of crowning him until he faces some other name comp like Margarito. I would even like to see him face SSM.

I think a Cotto fight would do well in Vegas, its not like Puerto Rico or even New York is that far away from Las Vegas. I mean, Manny Pacquiao and Ricky Hatton fans travel from overseas to watch their guy fight in Vegas. In this case, a Cotto/Judah fight is a no-brainer for New York though, just as the first Mosley/De La Hoya fight was a no-brainer to take place in L.A.: Oscar, of course, is from East L.A. and lives in Whittier, which is a pretty close suburb, and Shane is from Pomona, another suburb of L.A. and only a 20 minute drive from Whittier.
However, Cotto is a major draw now, much bigger than the two other guys he could fight next, Margarito or Williams. Arum says that MSG wants to bring Cotto back in November, and most likely, it'll be against either Margarito or Williams. And don't forget, Margarito has a pretty devoted Mexican fanbase too that'll travel for him, and there's quite a few Mexicans in New York already who'll be vocal for Margarito. Of course, it'll still be overwhelmingly pro-Cotto, just as a fight in L.A. would be overwhelmingly pro-Margarito.

Great fight. I don't know why Judah wouldn't let his hands go (i guess it's easier to say it since i'm not the one getting punched).
Also, not too impressed with Humberto Soto, Manny kills him if they fight.
