    Robinson was not a power fighter at all, and Ward was really only known for his body shot to be overly powerful.

    A guy with a great chin does not become the 13th KO (it was a brutal one by the way) out of 46 wins against Baldomir, nor does he get brutally KO'd by Alfonso Gomez, who is criticized for a lack of power.

    Gatti's chin at the stage of his career after Floyd was terrible. Before Floyd it wasn't great, but it wasn't horrible. I guess the question is whether it was gone before Floyd fought him, or whether the Mayweather bout took so much out of him that he couldn't effectively take a punch anymore.

        I gatta tell you...

        Baring in mind Arturo was more shot than Ali when he fought Berbick at the times and as fighting at a higher weight than he spent most of his career at...

        Weak chin is David Haye. Arturo Gatti had a strong chin.

          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.
          i respect your opinion but i dont think comparing floyd and margarito to gomez is fair...or judging how well cotto didnt against gomez as an indication to how well he'd do against floyd or margarito.

          i think cotto will beat margarito...and cotto MIGHT beat floyd (it would be a close fight).

            Arturo gatti had a great chin i dont care what that dude says! He's bringing up fights that are irrelevant. gatti is old now nothing is the same as it was younger. Gatti can take a flush shot to the chin with the best of them! he did it over and over throughout his career.

              He did. The shots he took from dlh showed that.

                Getting knocked down= getting hurt, or not being able to take the punch.

                Gatti has great heart, not a great chin.

                  Gatti always had a chin. Gatti started at 130 folks. I don't think he has ever been ko'd by one punch. There isn't a fighter or fan who thinks gatti never had a chin.

                    The same people are still going against Cotto. Just face it people. You're a haters. Join the fan club and appreciate. You're making yourselves look dumb.


                    LOOOOOLLLLLLLLLLL what people are that mate? please show me the poster, I know a few people who picked Gomez OUT of pity but the only people hyping Gomez up were the Cotto fans who were trying to justify why gomez was in the ring with miguel in the first place.

                      Gatti had a great chin but he was being recyled time and time again by main event, He only had heart because he has a never say die/Quit attitude even when he was being ******ed in the ring..to say he has a weak chin is disrespectful to him.
