    yea, that's what i mean.

    what i was saying is that margarito had a great chin, but he fought mosley, a guy who has VERY underrated power, and who also came in with a gameplan, and was much quicker than margarito.

    my point about cotto, is that he has a GREAT ability to take a punch, but the problem is, he takes too many.....sooner or later he's going to battle somebody who's able to stand up to his ****, and dish it out in return. so yea, while he can take punches, the fact he takes so many during fights, leaves him in danger of getting hurt every fight too......

    his chin is not the problem.....his defense is. you can only go so long, riding on your ability to take punches instead of your ability to good enough on defense to not get hit. personally, i think great defense trumps a great chin.

      Who do you consider to have a world class chin? Cotto took the same right hand that Margarito took and he last all 12 rounds.

        Mosley power is nowhere near underrated but I understand where you are coming from

              Cotto has proven that he has an above average chin in the Clottey fight!!!!!!

                I think he has a weak chin in the sense if you can consistantly tap it, he'll go down. He's not a guy who can take consistant punishment. You keep hand's on Miguel, and he'll buckle.

                  Thats the point, he continue to get hit on the button but NEVER gets KNOCKED OUT or KNOCKED DOWN!!!!!!! He has only been knocked down once in his career and even then he was pushed down.
