Nah he was having a harder time with his shoulder which he shattered in a car accident in like 01-02 but that comes and goes...but once that was settled and felt better it was easier for him to train and get down to weight...and weighed in at 146 I believe..and looked agile and solid on fight night!..
as for his chin..he's been hit flush by some of the most powerful guys at 147..(Judah, Mosley, Margarito) and he's only gone down twice and that was VOLUNTARY..he didn't get knocked down..so I say it might not be the best like Baldomir, Margarito, or Andrade..but it sure ain't no weak chin..
anyone who says/claims otherwise either lack the knowledge..or are just hating cuz it's in their nature to do so..
cosign...cotto's biggest deficiency to me is his defense. he has good movement and all, but he takes to many shots.....his chin gets "tested" too much.......sooner or later he's gonna catch that perfect shot, and it may not even come from a huge puncher.Comment

I think Cotto has a good defense. He slips a lot of punches when on the move, he blocks a lot of punches and he don't get hit a lot when he is on the move. the only time he gets hit alot is when he engages in a toe to toe flurry. His defense has gotten a whole lot better at 147 than it was at 140 and that is because he was always a come foward fighter.Comment
