    I keep reading that people say its glass and that hes easy to knock out etc etc.

    I know Cottos chin aint granite but to say its pure glass ala Amir Khan is just pure hate.

    Id say its between slightly above average and above average.

    Average at best, shaky at worst IMO. It lies somewhere between there.

    The biggest problem with Miguel's chin is that his equilibrium really betrays him whenever he's hurt. His legs start doing the Texas Two Step and he wobbles around all over the place even though his head might be clear at the time.

    Very chinny. I've seen him on ***** st. numerous times. Although he never quits(excluding his fight vs bricks) when he gets hurt, he still pulls through.

    But does getting rocked a couple of times really qualify you as having a glass jaw?

    He certainly doesn't have a glass jaw. I voted average but maybe he should be listed as above average.

    Tough to say, given that we now know for certain that Margarito used loaded wraps against him. I'll have to reevaluate after his next world class match. He seems to get rocked often enough and wobbled slightly, but then comes back.

    Remember, he took some of Margaritos best punches and was not wobbled until the tenth round. Even then, he was not on "***** street". I give him credit, he has not been in serious trouble since his 140lbs days. We take too much away from a fighter. Honestly, he is average.
