    I'm a Cotto fan to the bone, and I used to think he had a great chin, its good AT BEST, I'd give it a 7/10. Against Torres he was genuinely hurt, as he was with Manny and late in the Marg fight (End of 10 I think.) He's also been rocked by temple shots like in the Corley fight and he was wobbled twice by Mayorga's shots on the temple. Once in the 4th you see his knees wobble a bit but he had a very quick recovery. The second time in the 7th two following shots were right in the back of the head so its tough to tell if it was the first shot on the temple but, he still got hurt enough for Tarver to say "That shot rocked Cotto" or something like that. The fact is he can be hurt and he's been hurt too often to say his chin is solid, if it was you wouldn't have 5 or 6 fights of proof.
    I think it was the ninth when he got rocked the second time. Yea it shook him a little, but he weathered it very well. He actually took quite a few shots from Mayorga throughout the fight though.

    What I want to know is where he put his chin from the Mosely fight!? He took some really good shots in that fight and he was largely fine.

      Cotto's chin has always been solid and it's just gonna get better at 154.

        I didn't even mention the Judah fight, his chin is 6/10 just slightly above average I think. He also never got hit on the chin dead on in the Mosley fight like he did against Torres, Judah and Manny. But that is why I say he doesn't have a bad chin, he can be hurt but it has to be a very accurate punch.

          Agreed. Just curious, but where do you rate Mayweather's chin? He doesn't get hit often so it's hard to say. I know that whenever he has been hurt it doesn't seem to effect his coordination for very long at all. I wonder if him and Cotto are about the same in the chin dept.
