    Do people still think Cotto has a suspect chin?

    Just wondering, cause his chin looked quite solid to me against Mosley, Clottey and a brick-handed Margarito.

        nah the reason he was chinny was because he was dehydrated at 140 since then his chin looks quite solid even he has been stund but has held up pretty well!!!

          if he gets knocked out by a featherweight......it'd be embarassing.

          keep your hands up , miguel.

            His chin is alright.

            It's not Laporte-esque but not terrible either.

            It seems to have gotten better since he left 140, as he's more comfortable at the new weight.

            Cuts and swelling is a concern though.

              Cotto's chin is suspect,coming from a fan!!I like Cotto as a fighter but he's been rocked and dropped!!At 147 his chin has held up a lot better!!I actually think that Cotto's vulnerability,is one quality that makes him so exciting!!The fact that he is human and can be hurt but actually pulls through with dramatic wins!!

                I'd say he has a suspect stamina, chin's average to good

                  the chin was bad at 140, but has gotten better at 147. Still wouldn't say it's a great chin, just decent. But he still has work to do on his defense - he still dangles his head too far forward which makes him very susceptible to really flush uppercuts, which he doesn't tolerate well. And like Bulahaw said, stamina is an issue, especially when he's forced to fight going backwards.

                    His chin isn't bad, but it also isn't great.

                    He took shots against Clottey, but he was hurt plenty of times. Clottey is not a knockout artist either.
