Still think Cotto has a weak chin?

[Bad~JuJu]

I want to take a step back from the dramatics of the scorecards, Lampley and Steward bickering, unintentional headbutts etc etc.
After Cotto got cut last night you saw Clottey landing the right hand with regularity,
Clottey landed some big shots no question about it.
I think Cotto has a solid chin @147, he took bombs from Mosley and Clottey.
So IMO biggest Cotto weakness is being swarmed with activity and punches in bunches from all angles, as far as big punches he seems to take em' well.
I don't want to talk about PLASTER! Cotto is still less effective moving backwards, so keep the Margacheato stuff outta here please.
So does Cotto chin still have a question mark on it?

His chin is ok. It ain't ****, but it ain't granite either. Clottey did damage landin wit regularity, not cuz he's a big hitter.

Agreed, he didn't do damage like his nickname "hitter" would imply at least.
Nonetheless I think Cotto put the questions surrounding his chin to rest once he moved up to 147. Yet I still see the vulnerability that he has always shown mainly due to his leaky defense especially for the uppercut.

You are right. He has a solid chin. But you don't want to have to put your chin to the test every fight out. If you know what I mean. Cotto is tough without a doubt.

Not a fan but I hope he begins to sure up his defense so he can continue his good career.

By the way. Shannon Brown clipped the Birmdman's wings. So did LO.

Cotto chin is very good, the haters here are the ones are always saying ****** stuff.

[F l i c k e r]

Cotto's chin is still suspect. He got whaaped by the African Bambaata and tucked tail. I know you seen the uppercuts he ate, then he started backing off. The fight started looking like Margarito-Cotto after the 7th round. If Clottey would have thrown more punches, Cotto would have kneeled down again.

Exactly what I think...

Well his chins good. Aint no lamotta, gatti, marciano chin etc. He took some good shots in this fight, but he didnt take any "holy **** why isnt he down!" shots. (and hagler had a good chin also)
