mayweather/cotto, better chin?

[oside4life]

I could be wrong. I haven't seen the Quintana fight in years. But if I remember correctly, Quintana was doing pretty good early until the body punches slowed him down and he got stopped. I'll check when I get home. But I wasn't talking about round 10 of Cotto-Mosley. It was either round 3 or round 2 that Mosley landed a decent right hand that had Cotto defenseless for a second. He recovered well though. However if that was the right hand that Floyd got hit with, Cotto would have done the chicken dance too.

o the shot mosley hit mayweather with i think every welterweight is going to give some knee buckling or hitting the canvas reaction. I got out of my seat when he connected but man was impressed with floyd the way he stayed calm in between the 2 and 3rd round and adapted and just punished shane like he stole something. I had one of my friends say the fight ****** and i just laughed cause floyd once again put on a show. Here is my gripe with the casual fan of boxing why is it when someone like floyd does what he does and it's boring but if they watch another sport like football and it's a blowout they all hyped on how good the other team was and how they can beat anyone but in boxing if that happens all you here is dumb ass comments. Thats why i do'nt like to go to fight parties alot cause of the casual fan i rather watch it with my pops and my nephew who i know are big fans and know what they see in that ring is pure greatness.

what do you guys think?

cotto took mosley's bombs easily. floyd almost got dropped 2x.

but today, cotto's punch resistance isn't what it used to be. nobody is the same after pac hits them.

Cotto's chin should be fine again if he goes up to 154, though he would have to face a lot of bigger/taller opponents and might not have the same speed he had at 140 and 147.

I think Cotto's chin is a little bit better than Floyd's when Cotto does not have to struggle to make weight. However, Floyd is more resilient than Cotto. If Floyd gets hit with a few big shots it just pisses him off and makes him more aggressive. If Cotto takes some big shots they seem to hurt him not only physically, but also mentally. He starts becoming more defensive and will often start running away from his opponents in the latter rounds of a tough fight.
