I love cotto he is one of my favorite fighters. But m am i the only one who thinks he has not a bad chin but not a good one either. I would bet money cotto will lose his first fight by ko......Do you agree do you think im a completely retarded or think its just wrong??
I do not think cotto would lose by ko at all..... if he loses it could be to a guy like floyd.. that is if cotto could not get into his ribs cause then is a bye bye to floyd. Right at this time the two fighter I believe can give cotto a lot of trouble due to speed, lateral movement and experience are Floyd and Mosley beside these two great fighters cotto should be able to dominate not easily but with no doubt and the end that he won, that is if he couldn't ko'd the fighter by breaking them ribs.
At this time cotto is at his peak, train really hard, focused and can't be really annoyed and he showed it against malignaggi.... this little dude talked and talked and did not get into cotto's skin.... so judah can talk all he wants cause it is not gonna work.
well, at 140, his chin wasnt very reliable, being wobbled by corley and damn near KOd by torres.
but at 147, his chin hasnt been tested yet. quintana's not a puncher. maybe moving up in weight might've fixed his chin a little. we'll see.
Corley,toress,and Abduallev, all had cotto hurt at one point or another ,and mind you these werent all shot's to the chin corley rocked cotto with a shot to the temple and a torress hit him with one behind the ear so can cotto take a good shot in general is the real question.
Abdulaev never had Cotto hurt, he did hit him with a hard strait right but it did not stun him by any means.
I do not think that Cotto has a great chin, nor do I think its horrible. It is mediocre. He showed that he can take a puch earlier in his career when he did not weight drain, and in his last fight with Quintana at 147. Zab has a punchers chance and thats about it, I do not see Zab outboxing or outbrawling Cotto but one of those uppercuts could take Cotto by suprise.
he has a decent chin, but thats counterbalanced by a huge heart and great conditioning. Torres is one hell of a puncher though, definetely a better head puncher than cotto
agreed Not quite Holyfield heart but he's gettin there
Well I admit I haven't seen much of Cotto's earlier fights, but I think there is still a question mark over his chin right now. Weight drain might have been an issue but he has moved up in weight now and opponents are also going to hit harder. In his defence he has come back strong from having wobbly legs and won well like the tough hombre he is. I think he will still knock out Judah because Zab's chin is even more questionable.
For me the jury's still out.
Cant really fault u for that then. Trust me tho his chin WAS rock! I THINK he will be back to the Cotto of old now he is at 147! At least i hope so

I think it had alot to do with his weight. Cotto seems to have even more pop in his punches and the abiltiy to absorb more punishment. With that said Zab still has the speed and power to ko Cotto or any Welter for that matter. If the Judah that showed up against Floyd shows up we are in for a great fight.:banana:
Nah i dont think he has chin problems,ive got nearly all his fights and he tuk alot of shots earlier in his career and eat them,in the Corley fight he had 2 bust his ass 2 make the limit,and the shot he caught was right on the temple,not the chin,it would put anyone on queer street
in the Torres fight Cotto walked into alot of punches and Torres has got lethal punching power,but Cotto took them all like a warrior and recovered,i think weight drain had alot 2 do with it,in the Quintana fight he walked right thru him
Fuckin point perfect post bud! K for u! :biggthump :fing02: :banana: Sum1 who knows exactly whats happening with the dude! Perhaps peeps just havent seen sum earlyier fights where he proves his chin tho?

HE SHOULDNT LEAN FOWARD AND BE SQAURE.. HE NEEDS TO PIC ON OR THE OTHER BECUASE ZAB KILLS SQUARE FIGHTERS
Yeap, fighters who dont square off like Zoo and Baldi have had success because of their angles and superior boxing.

So are you picking zab in that fight???? Ill bet you some points on it if you wanna
No I got Cotto in that one but think Zab definatley has the power to hurt him! Im bettin most of ny points on Miguel aswell, Mr Soprano is still takin bets tho i think
Ive just spent the last couple of days watching his full career AGAIN! And i can assure u he HAD an excellent chin! That was before he was weight drained, when he was weight drained he got caught by a complete bomber in Torres and by a temple shot that hurts anyone almost by Chop Chop (The only 2x he has been hurt!) Moved up never got hurt, so hopefully his chin is back to its EXCELLENT best instead of its still decent form of late @140lbs! This is a guy that really duz hav an excuse for being hurt a mere twice, Lets see how he is at 147. And if Zab hurts him in there fight that dont mean dick about his chin - Zab has CRAZY 1 punch power espesially with the Left cross!
