Miguel Cotto made Gomez look like a Punching bag.

Actually it is not foolish to compare the Gatti that Floyd fought to the Gomez that Cotto fought. Also, Gomez arguably has a better chin than Gatti.sorry but what else did you expect cotto to do to a guy like a gomez? FLoyd did all that you mentioned x's 10 to a fighter ten times better than gomez at the time. Of course gomez beat gatti but it would be foolish to compare the gatti floyd beat to the gomez cotto beat. This is about as a complete annihilation as you will ever see in boxing.
Gatti was the most overrated titleholder in a very long time.Comment

Gomez does not have a better chin then what gattie had. Did you see the ward fights the robinson fights? He can take a shot!!!!! Gomez is not better than what gatti was when floyd fought him. Gomez couldn't have beat ANY of the title holders at ww. He would lose to every single one of them.Comment

Margarito has an Iron chin and ribs of STEEL. Cotto is gonna break his sissy hands trying to hurt the Great Margarito. Just ask Mr. Clottey.I just rewatched that fight again and was blown away that is how you take a guy out he put on a masterclass.
Cotto in that performance would murder floyd jr to the body and head no wonder floyd jr avoided that Tank.
Seriously Cotto vs Margarito is gonna be crazy but Cotto will be blistering the **** outta Margaritos body and take all that steam off margaritos punches softening him up and then going head hunting in the later rounds.
This fight is gonna be bonkers.Comment

If you think that Gatti has a great chin, I really question your boxing knowledge. Gatti has never been known for his 'chin' he has been known for his heart. He has been known for getting hurt pretty often, often getting knocked down, but then getting up and stepping his game up and sometimes winning dramatically against mediocre opponents.Gomez does not have a better chin then what gattie had.

Remember that Gomez has fought against fighters that are currently fighting at 168. And to add to that, Gomez had NEVER been knocked down prior to the Cotto fight, Gatti on the other hand has been knocked down on many occassions.Comment

Gatti's chin got worse and worse over the years. Consecutive KOs to Baldomir and Gomez says a lot.If you think that Gatti has a great chin, I really question your boxing knowledge.

I think a bruised knuckle can count as an injury, but... not as bad as originally thought.
For sure it wasn't bad enough to stop fighting for the last 8 rounds.Comment

Some guys just deal with injuries diffrent.....Clottey was clearly winning the fight..until he got "injured" so the **** mustve been hurting.Comment

huh? since when does being knocked down mean you have a weak chin? When your in the type of fights gatti gets in it's amazing if someone doesn't go down. In my opinion gatti had a great chin! He can take a punch!! being knocked down by a punch does put u in a weak chin category.If you think that Gatti has a great chin, I really question your boxing knowledge.
