    Didn't Cotto's brother rock him or something??? I guess we won't know until he fights someone who can punch and is a live fighter.

    Hopefully he fights someone like Kirkland at least in December. That'd be a solid Top 10 SWW, something he can't seem to find time to fight.

      Anybody can be rocked, and he's been stunned before. Imo, the jury is still out on his chin/how durable it is. Soon he will be stepping up in class, so we will have a better idea.

        He was caught clean right on the button surprised he didnt go down... So far he looks solid, has taken shots like nothing (not massive punches mind you) and there's not exactly a large ammount of cracking 154 pounders. Ortiz would have been a good test but ish happens.

          I think it is pretty solid. I mean look at how huge his chin, neck, and traps are.

                Canelo's chin still has an asterisk next to it. Luckily for him, there's no real punchers at 154. His punch resistance is good because of his weight advantage, but his chin still hasn't really proven itself.

                    You don't think Kirkland or Angulo could hurt or really test Alvarez' chin???
