I thought about it really hard, and determined that Cotto's punching power at 147 is overrated.
He loaded up 100% on that Quintana body shot, which any fighter could do with that open look IMO.
He didn't really hurt Urkal badly.
He buzzed Judah a couple of times, but Judah is not known for a good chin.
He didn't ever really hurt Mosley too badly.
Gomez was hurt a few times, but... he's Gomez.
Obviously he didn't hurt Margarito at all.
That said, he still punches harder than Floyd. I'm just saying, I think Cintron's power as a benchmark for Margarito's chin is more appropriate than Cotto's.
