I told you guys before the fight that Chop is really good but just comes up short. He had Cotto and Floyd really hurt and fought a horrible fight against Zab and still made it a split decision. I honestly think he could beat Gatti, Harris, Hatton, N'Dou, and Witter but I dont think he will get any chance any time soon.
Cotto is a good young fighter but I told you guys that he is not ready for the praises that you put on him and saying that he would beat all the top guys except for maybe Zoo but some even think he would beat him. Most of you picked him over Floyd in the poll the other day and some of the one's who picked Floyd said that Cotto will beat him in a year or 2. It's hard to judge his fight with Chop. Fighting a lefty is very tricky and it doesnt always meant that your chin is weak just like I told you about Floyd. There is a difference though and the difference is that Floyd is already proven and Cotto isnt. Floyd has been a champ for years and has beaten alot of good fighters and was in his 3rd weight class when he got stunned. This was Cotto's first big fight in a weight class that he is much bigger then almost everyone including Chop and he was hurt bad. He also got hit clean way too much. I dont know how good Cotto is but he doesnt look like anything special right now. It looks more like he is a big guy trying to buy time at 140 because he knows if he moves up then he would have no advantages and look like a average fighter. He wouldnt beat Zab, Oscar, Shane, Mayorga, Spinks, Margarito, or Cintron.
He is going to have a tough time with any of the top 140 pounders. People say his power is great but if he fights a great defender like Floyd it will be netuarlized and if he fights Gatti or Zoo then they would be able to take his punches alot better because they will be just as big as him. He wont hurt them like he does the others. I dont know what the future holds for Cotto but it looks alot dimmer now. He has to move fast at 140 because he wont be able to make the weight for long so pretty soon we will know. The rest of 140 will be very tough and 147 will be extremely tough for him.
I heard someone say that it should be a rematch but if I was Cotto, I wouldnt go anywhere near this fight. He KO Chop but he will always give Cotto problems and the next fight will be even tougher. He would be in the US and wouldnt have the whole crowd on his side. If the fight was in DC tonight he mightve lost.
Cotto is good but how good? That is the question. What do you guys think about what Ive said about Cotto and Chop?
P.S. Did any of you hear what the commentators said about Chop when he came into the ring? They said something about that Chop said the reason why he couldnt finish Floyd is because he has some kind of blood disorder or something and he has been taking more iron and vitamins. I dont know but something seemed to change in him when he had Cotto hurt
