Malignaggi stunned Cotto like four times and Torres had him in serious trouble on two weeks notice. I think Zab and Quintana had him wobbling all over the ring too.

your high dude, your statements took a walk down bullsh it lane about midway point of your paragraph chief. Mayweather's D makes this argument pointless but if your talkin who can take the harder clean shot just once I'd say Cotto.

I'll check when I get home. But I wasn't talking about round 10 of Cotto-Mosley. It was either round 3 or round 2 that Mosley landed a decent right hand that had Cotto defenseless for a second. He recovered well though. However if that was the right hand that Floyd got hit with, Cotto would have done the chicken dance too.

o the shot mosley hit mayweather with i think every welterweight is going to give some knee buckling or hitting the canvas reaction. I got out of my seat when he connected but man was impressed with floyd the way he stayed calm in between the 2 and 3rd round and adapted and just punished shane like he stole something. I had one of my friends say the fight sucked and i just laughed cause floyd once again put on a show. Here is my gripe with the casual fan of boxing why is it when someone like floyd does what he does and it's boring but if they watch another sport like football and it's a blowout they all hyped on how good the other team was and how they can beat anyone but in boxing if that happens all you here is dumb ass comments. Thats why i do'nt like to go to fight parties alot cause of the casual fan i rather watch it with my pops and my nephew who i know are big fans and know what they see in that ring is pure greatness.

cotto took mosley's bombs easily. floyd almost got dropped 2x.

but today, cotto's punch resistance isn't what it used to be. nobody is the same after pac hits them.

this comparison is'nt debatable, really..
assuming Cotto has Floyd's defense, while
Floyd has Cotto's defense..
Floyd would have been KO'd already when he was still
at 135-lbs... While Cotto would have win against Margarito.

But still losses to Pacquiao though

Cotto's chin should be fine again if he goes up to 154, though he would have to face a lot of bigger/taller opponents and might not have the same speed he had at 140 and 147.

I think Cotto's chin is a little bit better than Floyd's when Cotto does not have to struggle to make weight. However, Floyd is more resilient than Cotto. If Floyd gets hit with a few big shots it just pisses him off and makes him more aggressive. If Cotto takes some big shots they seem to hurt him not only physically, but also mentally. He starts becoming more defensive and will often start running away from his opponents in the latter rounds of a tough fight.
