RATE: Miguel Cotto's Chin (1-10)

[..WaRSpencE..]

I still see around that Miguel Cotto has a "shaky, suspect, mediocre, even glass" chin..which I COMPLETELY disagree..I mean he's no Hagler, Baldomir, or Margarito but I think he's proven he can take a solid shot!..

He's been down 3 times in his career..and wobbled a few more..but his balance and intelligence kept him in there most of the time..

He took flush shots from Judah, Mosley, Margarito, Bailey, Clottey, etc and managed to stay up (besides the voluntary knees obviously)

Only people to legitamitely drop Cotto was Pacquiao and Torres..why is his chin still in question?..

Am I the only one who thinks his chin is atleast a solid 8.5 or even 9?

[Spirit]

Back when he fought Mosley in 2007 I wouldve said his chin is nothing less than an 8

Now I dont know

[Dick Buffman]

7.5 to 8 seems about right. He's pretty durable for the most part.

[Heru]

His chin is good, it has to be because his defense is just terrible. I'd give it an 8.

[Jayseen]

He's got a good chin i say about 7.5/8 at least but what keeps him up most of the time he's hurt is his ability to recover so fast. You just can't knock cotto out with 1 punch, you will need about 150-250 power punches with plaster to put him down. (Or a perfect pacquiao counter punch)

I'd say about 7. He seems to get hurt in every fight so 1 solid, well timed punch can rock him. However, he's rarely on the canvas, his ability to recover quickly is very impressive and has been a massive help throughout his career. Usually when a fighter gets hurt they will shell up but Cotto usually goes on the run and makes his opponent catch up with him. That means he stays up when a lot of others would be put down.

[Doctor_Tenma]

I would say a 7.3.

[wazaa.]

A 7 or an 8. I voted 8 because he didnt got hurt by Mosley.

[FeFist]

He has been down more than 3 times. I'm pretty sure Pacquiao dropped him twice, he went down twice against Margarito and I think Torres dropped him.

That being said I don't think he has a bad chin. Big punchers are supposed to drop people. I'd rate it 6-7/10

[infamous larryx]

id give him a 7..his chin aint the problem..its his defense and reflexes that suck
