Miguel Cotto DOES NOT HAVE A WEAK CHIN

I agree. Cotto can take shots well.

Here's the deal: Cotto had been wobbled at 140 pounds, where he was struggling to make weight. In my opinion, he was too light at that weight and that became a detriment. Look at de la Hoya, most thought he had a weak chin at 130 when he admits he ate only an orange a day sometimes to make weight. He took a few early spills but has since shown a much better beard. Cotto's problem at times has been defense, which was exploited early by Zab Judah's sharp counterpunching. When Cotto brawls, he is susceptible to uppercuts and straight punches, so it might not be in his best interests to do that against a puncher like Margarito. Do I think Cotto had a bad chin? Nope. i agree. i think if anything his commitment to his punches leaves him open sometimes.

Cotto's chin is not great. Margarito ate Cintron's best punches and laughed it off. Margarito smothered Cintron's best punches. Cintron did not have the room to get his best shots off on Margarito. Plus he was being pushed back, which takes away the momentum of the punches.

Enough is enough people, yeah cotto has been wobbled before but hey who hasnt. even magarito who every on says can run headfirst into a full speed mack truck and win has been hurt. lets just be real, anyone who gets hit right can get hurt, ANYONE! Cotto's chin is not great. Margarito ate Cintron's best punches and laughed it off.

Cotto got caught w/ a Malignaggi right hand that wobbled jim....Paulie only has 5 K.O's only thing Cotto needs is a strong finisher. Corrlaes would've Knocked him out.He's very low blow lucky Zab didn't konck him out in the 1sdt round. Utter shit, Cotto will get knocked out in 1 of his next 5.

his chin gained 7 lbs. lol...but anyways his chin's been tested from Corley to Torres to Judah to Mosely...his chin been through a cycle it seems, if he can take Judah's fast, flush power shots and not get knocked down then he should be able to take anything now...

The problems that Cotto had at 140 were due to the way he drained himself to make weight. Just look at what happened to Chris Byrd this guy took punches from the biggest hitters in the heavyweight division, he drains himself to make 175 and the first punch he takes from a light heavy wobbles him and then goes on to get ko. Draining yourself to make weight takes a lot out of you. At welter Cotto has a solid chin, he took some hard overhand rights from Mosley and walked right thru them.

Not sure how anybody can say he has a GOOD chin as many times as he's been hurt or wobbled. Who are you comparing him to to say he has a GOOD chin? every other fighter on the planet. look i remember watching the corley fight and thinking damn cotto looks hurt, and he was, but his GREAT recovery had him back in the fight in no time and i think needs to be factored in to his chin strength. by the same token glen johnson knocked out roy jones with that same, top of the head rabbit punch and cotto did not even go down. ricardo torres caught him flush so many times i just knew cotto was going to go down but instead he was pushed down, got up and thoroughly dusted torres off. if u ask me taking those punches and not going down gives him an osama bin laden beard for real. not to mention that zab or mosley did not wobble him. zab hit him with an uppercut that would knockout most of the top 10 welterweights and he took it pretty good. its unfortunate that his body work strayed low but i feel his was recovered completely by that time.

Cotto's chin is good IMO. He has sometimes taken huge shots and like someone else said, never been put away. Also the times he's been wobbled have hardly been that serious either, I've never seen him staggering around, just a bit stunned. He hasn't been seriously hurt at 147 yet, Judah and Mosley stunned him though. He has been badly hurt at 140 against Torres and Corley, especially against Corley.

Floyd??? If its anybody itll be margo,but if he gets past margo he has no other big puncher to worry about. Agree. He also has to be cautious about Mayorga and DLH if they come back to 147, although DLH wasn't as powerful as before against poor Stevie Forbes.

People think because you get hurt you don't have a good chin. This is not true to me being able to recover if if you go down, is a true sign of your toughness/chin. Cotto took some good shots against Mosley and was okay. Judah stunned him a bit but he recovered. It's about recovery in my opinion.

cotto has a suspect chin............it is suspect......it will be exposed when he fights floyd............ Floyd??? If its anybody itll be margo,but if he gets past margo he has no other big puncher to worry about.

Well, at 147 his chin has been great. Yes, I said great. Zab Judah is a very powerful guy whose power is underrated because of his small frame. At 140 he was wobbled more than a few times. Arguably, he has never been knocked down, because as far as I know the only time he has been down was at the Torres fight, and he was pushed. you are right. the only so called knockdown was bullshit cause torres pushed him down. in the past to be labeled weak chin means you were put on ur ass.what happened?:nonono:

Cottos chin at 140 was not so good but at welterweight it seems to be pretty decent.

Cotto has a good chin and if you dont htink so kick rocks
