    Cotto has an OK chin, His Biggest Problem is his Defense

    As u all know Cotto has been rocked a few times, but despite that i believe he has a good chin i mean he took good shots from ,Mosley, i dont believe that cotto endurance was weight drained back at 140 i just think he has improved at 147
    Cotto offense is one of the best in the game its actually his speciality to break down fighters his speed is also good
    His biggest problem is his defense yes he does have a jab and keep his hands up but he eats too many punches against a hard puncher like Margarito thats gonna be disaster for Cotto
    if Margarito starts landing regularly like mosley was doing in some rounds u can count that marg will knock Cotto out, i think he will catch him at round 6 and Cotto being the warrior he is will last till rounds 8 before he finally gets stopped
    Even if Cotto comes out on top of his game and with a solid defense Margarito always catches guys thats why many ppl are predicting a Margarito late ko

    His chin is suspect when he gets reckless, I dont think he'll be reckless against Tony thou, he knows who he's facing.

      I agree with the poster. One of the main reasons I have not been on the Cotto wagon is that hole in his defense. Offensively he is sound.

      Magarito is not great either but I know that he can apply pressure early and wobble Cotto, but will he be able to do what others could not..i.e. finish the job.

      Cotto has a great ability to recover quickly by bobbing and weaving (ducking and walking back).

          I agree, I just rewatched the Mosley fight last night and was shocked at how many flush right hands over the top Cotto was eating. Not the best tendency to enter a Margarito fight with.

          The way Cotto holds his hands and shoots out his jab makes me think he might have problems with Margarito dropping right hands over the top.

                    Thats why I'm so concern about Margarito because his defense is none existent and he will eat a lot of Cotto's jabs and power punches.... Margarito won't be the same after that fight.
