Cotto would knock Zab out in a couple of rounds.

What an awesome fighter. Anyone who thinks he can't punch is out of their minds. N'Dou has a great chin - I can't see many other 140 pounders taking those perfect right and left hands he throws.
He's still a bit open in there, but he's getting better by the day and that must scare the living daylights out of all the other "contenders".
He showed an excellent chin too.

Hatton had a great line in reply to Piper's comment "Cotto/Hatton has to happen!"
Ricky "It's alright you saying that, I'm the one who has to fight him!"

I think Hatton knows he'd have no chance with this guy. And Zab's chin would see him take an early shower too.

Cotto is the future at 140, and maybe the next few divisions up too.

i think it will turn out that cotto has a good chin, he seems to have everything to be the king

Cotto does look the business, though the punch power so evident against blown-up lightweights was not so evident against a true light-welter like N'dou. But N'dou gave Sharmba Mitchell a similar tough fight so I shouldn't be too harsh. And, Cotto, like all potentially great fighters, showed he could adapt to the style in front of him.
He's now number one IBF ranked light-welter and will probably get an interim showdown with Mitchell in a couple of fights. What's to bet there won't be any trouble with the negotiations in that one.

I think Cotto would walk through Zab and blast him away early.

IMO no contest.

I dont like Judah but the boy deserves a bit of credit.... I fancy he would deal with Cotto at this stage.....

Cotto's chin is always tucked in so it may be a long time before we find out about the chin.....

N'Dou tested his chin several times, and Miguel passed with flying colours.
