    Cotto doesnt have a great chin. He has a solid beard, and good recovery power. He has been dropped a few times, and stunned in most his big fights but his recuperative abilities see him through. Great is a bit of a stretch seeing that he has never faced huge punchers. Neither Judah, Mosley,or Torres(inflated record) are huge punchers and they all hurt him.

    While Cotto doesn't have a Hagler like Chin (Not many do). I do believe Cotto has an above average chin & recuperative abilities (B+ or A- combined). One thing that I've always found funny and sad when people discuss Cotto's chin is. I cannot understand how this simple bit of boxing information. Slips past even the most knowledgeable boxing enthusiast? It is a Fact that Cotto has only been knocked down once in his pro career, and if you want to be very anal retentive. Cotto was thrown down by Torres, but When I read posts, articles or hear boxing broadcast/convo (Emanuel Stewart). How it becomes he's been dropped a few times. Maybe English comprehension just wasn't your thing (general statement) on the SAT or CAT test, but how the **** does one time become multiple times in the real world? Is this the Matrix. :huh :patsch......It just baffles my mind :?

    No.

    He has never been dropped.

    He was pulled down once, that's it.

    If Judah and Mosley aren't big punchers then who is at 147 ? Judahs left uppercut is the hardest punch in the welterweight division ...Judahs straight left is a monster .... Mosley's right hands and left hooks are bombs !

    The only other guys with alot of power are Cotto and Cintron.... Cotto doesn't have to fight himself and looks like Cintron will never get a shot at cotto.....

    Margarito is a volume puncher ... he has a good straight right hand and a nice uppercut but they aren't harder than Mosley and Judah's....

    Mosley and judahs have ridiculous speed and power .....Cotto ate punches from them that he never saw coming !
