    So is Cotto's chin still questionable?

    He was only stunned a couple of times during the fight against someone people said was the hardest punching WW. I know he took a knee twice in the 11th but his knee's never gave up, he just had nothing left.

    I think we can put this matter to rest and say that Cotto has a good chin at 147.

    No, Margarito broke him down and he was just exhausted at the end

      They were "voluntary" knock downs. He was in great pain and fatigue. He chose to go on his knee to take a break.

        Are you kidding me! Taking knees is quitting, hence every part of you quits.

          The guy took 200+ power punches from one of the hardest punching Welterweights out there. I think it is safe to say he has a good chin on him. Just not epic like Margarito's.

            I think Cotto showed he has a very good chin. He took some powerful uppercuts in this fight. It really came down to the fact that Margo is a HUGE welterweight and Cotto is a small one. And Cotto isn't exactly known for his stamina and it doesnt help when you have this big powerful man punching you for 11 rounds.

              Yeah, I just hope it puts that argument to rest. Cotto took some good shots, even that uppercut that made him take a knee didnt make him wabble or buckle, he just said "**** this, I gave it all I had and have nothing left".

                He's got a damn good chin, just not as good as Tony. It took a lotta punishment for Cotto to give in.

                  Taking a knee is not quitting.

                    I think Cotto should test it again against Andre Berto.
                    Then we would know.
                    Of course Cotto's chin is good, no denying that.
