I agree he should have stepped up earlier, I'll give you that.
But he didn't, spilled milk and what not, don't see the relevance of that to the topic of the thread though
The relevance is that how can certain quarters predict a comprehensive Cotto win when he hasn't mixed it with anything like elite level competition yet. Yes he looked classy at 147...but it was Quintana in there not ODH.

I'm also asking the question that if they knew he was going to be such a monster at 147 then why didn't they step him up sooner?

Didn't he even weigh in over for one of his recent fights?
