How many people went nuts when Tito was knocked down for the umpteen time, yet still came back to KO his opponents? Nobody. Cotto, has yet to be OFFICIALLY knocked down from being hurt, and has recovered well in the past. Now at 147lbs his chin is not a factor. Yet even when people talked so much including me, in reality, he hasn't even been knocked down as bad as Tito has been in the past. I guess it's just when people are hating, they gotta find anything and ride on it until the fighter really demonstrates his wares.
Cotto's chin is perfectly FINE

I think Cotto being down before had a lot to do with him being at 140lbs, he was killing himself to make the weight. He's a different animal at 147lbs I think. That said I can still see Margarito putting his ass on the deck, and I can't see Cotto hurting Margarito considering Marg's jaw is made of steel and he takes bodyshots like they're nothing. Mexican fighters trade vicious bodyshots for fun, it's scary.Comment

Cotto hasnt been hit by a PURE POWER PUNCHER. Zab hit him clean, but he was falling back and didnt plant his feet to get full leverage and power with that uppercut, and it still wobbled Cotto. Margs is taller than Cotto, so that means ALOT of uppercutts on the inside, and we all know its the uppercutt that makes Cotto do the chicken dance. But this is gonna be a great fight. Hagler vs vs Hearns....esque!Comment

yup, I wouldnt be surprised either but I think Cotto wins.
Marg has a lot of body to hit and Cotto will have a field day with it.Comment

Cotto is a better all around fighter than Margarito, but I wouldn't be suprised at all if Tony were to stop him in this fight. Miguel does seem to be handling punches better at WW, so we'll see.Comment
