    Im going to say just one more thing and thats it because I dont really like or feel comfertable doing this because it seems like Im bragging on myself and I am not conceeded. However , do you remeber what I said about all of you guys always talking about power punchers like Cotto and Zoo and all you say is what are they going to do when Cotto and Zoo hits them and I always say that everytime there is a fight you guys dont give the opponent no credit and you act like they have no offense. I always say that the punchers will land but the other guys will be scoring on them alot also and how will they be able to take a punch. We are both kind of right because Cotto got the KO but you see what I mean about the opponents offense. The same goes for a fight like Floyd vs Zoo. Zoo will land some shots but Floyd will be scoring alot and those punches will eventually start to wear on these big guys. Add to the fact that Floyd is a much better defensive and all around fighter then a guy like Chop.

    Cotto, Zoo, Mayorga, Tito, Chico, Pac and all these punchers are great but stop just asking what is the opponent going to do when they get hit. They have a offense too. Zoo has been KO, Cotto was hurt bad in his first big fight, Mayorga lost to Spinks and was KO by Tito, Tito was KO by a non big puncher in X, Chico was TKO by Floyd, and Pac has been KO and had a draw in his last fight. None of these guys have great defense and all have suspect chins. There power will not just determine every fight. Give the opponents some credit. Like I said about Chop, Cotto will hit him with good shots but Chop will be scoring alot and landing clean punches. You guys always say that it doesnt matter because since guys like Chop and Floyd dont have super power then Cotto and Zoo will walk right through there punches because they know they cant hurt them. I hope you guys see that it is not that simple

    If youre posting this in response to cotto's fight (and Im sure you are even tho youre mentioning all big punchers) Cotto did not fight how he usually fights against chop, Its clear he came out punching like a bull,he's usually much more patient,come on,how can you base all youve said on one fight?

      You're the same guy who said RJJ almost knocked out Toney 2 or 3 times in their fight.
      That was me!

      JT is one of my favourites, but RJJ had him hurt (big) 2 or 3 times, i stand by it.

      best,
