Well it can be assumed that Tony had his hands wrapped to his liking in the Cotto fight. I mean we can only speculate but let's say for arguments sake he admitted to having his hands wrapped by Javier with the firm pieces in place and the powder there as well. Looking back at the fight with Cotto think how much punishment Cotto took before he eventually gave out and reevaluate his performance and chin.....Lefty
It's just above average at 147. I think I'll have to believe Cotto's camp that his chin was bad at 140 because he was weight drained there. Zab and Shane should have been able to put him away if that wasn't the case.
actually cotto didnt really take a lot of punishment, he only got hit a few times (presumably with loaded gloves)...
in any case we wont know until cotto's next couple of fights.... i dont think jennings can test cotto's chin
whoa!!!! cotto fan alert! "cotto didn't take alot of punishment" wow did you see the fight? Is getting hit with 237 power shots not punishment? You think cotto's chin could have took 237 power shots from loaded gloves? You gotta be kidding me!
He has a great chin, what he lacks is durability and stamina. Cotto didnt go down from a head shot, he went down due to the body shots and the fact he couldnt breathe well cause of all the blood.
cotto is a little spick. hatton would ruin him
hatton got ko by check hook from mayweather. and a lil help from the ring post. i think cotto body work would kill hatton. plus cotto is not fighting the same way he fought against torres. so cotto could outbox hatton and ko him
Stop with the nonsense, Marg walked Cotto down. SSM laid the blueprint to beat Cotto. Marg took a lot of punishment that night and he really punished Cotto's body. Cotto has been dropped by lesser opponents. If could be said that if he did not give Zab Judah those low blows Zab might have beaten him. Come on now Cotto's was dropped fighting at 140 - average chin at best.
I can tell you're a noob at boxing.
Cotto was indeed drained at 140. Zab Judah had no chance. Styles make fights, and Judah fights in spurts, and it just isn't enough. Low blows or not, Cotto beats him on any day.
The fact that he took 11 rds of punishment seems to suggest Marg wasn't usin loaded wraps, but his lack of credibility argues against that. He fought a good fight, his chin is still ok, but definitely not great.
