    Cotto's chin

    People slate it but this guy took the best Mosley could offer up and since then Mosley has scored a One punch KO over tough man Mayorga and KO'd Margarito! AND if Tony was packin Plaster in his duel with Miguel its a miracle he lasted into the 11th! He took Randall Bailleys best right hands without flinching and Even when weight drained he absorbed everything Torres could throw at him, sure he was hurt but he stayed in there eating bomb after bomb. And those big shots Zab hit him with would have took alot of other guys out.


    Guys chins fine

    His chin is fine. All these guys hit hard at this level. Cotto was rocked by Chop-Chop, so was Floyd.
    Cotto was rocked by SSM so was Margs.

    No one is immune to getting rocked and you don't get as far as Cotto did packing china.

      Cotto's chin is better than given credit for but it isn't great.

        He's no Marvin Hagler but i dont think his chin should be questioned, he has the chin that ud expect from a fighter at his level

          Yeah, he can take a good shot and come back.

            I would put Cotto's chin along with

            Dawson
            RMarquez
            Tszyu
            Felix Sturm
            Israel Vazquez

            I guess you can say it's porcelain

              thats right cotto has been in there with some big punchers but hasn't gone down alot. at 147 he is arguably not in his real weight category (imo if he lost the baby fat hed be a LWW) but he still manages to hold his own against big punchers.

              i think we'll see just how good his chin is when he faces margarito again - that fight should answer alot of questions.

                I think he is a legit 147 fighter now, i cant see him EVER making LWW again, he was dead at the weight there

                  Cotto took punches from a guy who possibly had plaster in his hand-wraps, I'd say cottos chin is probably granite if it is true that Margarito is a cheater which at this point shouldn't shock any boxing fan since he got caught cheating.

                    his chin is way better than he gets credit for

                    some people act like he has a glass chin

                    he was weight drained for most of those fights at LWW so his chin and legs naturally wouldnt have been as good

                    and margarito is a heavy, thudding puncher who landed a lot on miguel in the later rounds, the bodywork took a toll too...and if he was packing plaster that only makes cottos chin look better


                    and judah and mosley are both good punchers who landed on cotto

                    id give his chin a 6.5 or 7 out of ten, one being **** 5 being average 10 being excellent
