He was hurt bad, but he was a kid then, he has gotten much sturdier since then. I am not saying Cotto can't hurt him, but Canelo's chin hasn't looked bad since then.
I would agree but then...I don't know if it's really been tested all that much.
They've steered Canelo clear of power punchers since this fiasco. He fought a steady diet of over the hill fighters (Baldomir, Cintron, Mosley, Angulo, Kirkland), fighters who campaigned a division south (Ndou, Hatton, Lopez), and feather fisted fighters (Rhodes, Gomez, Mayweather, Trout, Lara).
Canelo's about to get wrecked. He better get ready to be the newest addition to the Cotto family.

Pretty sure Angulo, Kirkland, Mosley, Cintron all likely hit harder than Miguel.
You're saying something very bold, I mean first he is ducking all the slick brothers doe now he ducking all the big punchers doe, lmao really?

Angulo and Kirkland may have more power but they were slow, over the hill bums by the time Canelo fought them. Cotto has versatility and power. He has also retained his speed late into his career. Canelo won't know what him. He's gonna get ****d in the ring like he got ****d at the negotiating table.

True, that's why I said "looked", I was hoping we could get to learn a little about his chin during the Kirkland fight, but it ended too quickly. I do remember Angulo hitting him clean once I think during the 3rd round, and he remained unaffected but that Angulo looked like **** and he didn't land enough. Thing is hypothetically speaking if Canelo were to win the Cotto fight without getting hurt or at least noticeably hurt people will still have questions about his chin. If the GGG fight ever happens I think that's when we will finally know how good Canelo's chin is.
Still bringing up a fight when he was 19 is reaching, especially considering he hasn't looked that vulnerable since then.
I remember laughing at first that he stumbled but then I got a little nervous because he looked dazed for second. Hadn't really seen him in tense situations like that. And then there was the times when Alfonso Gomez had him stuck on the ropes and he was trying to shoulder roll the whole time but kept getting caught, that was some decent action that made me laugh too
