chins do not get stronger, but the guy learns how to survive better. Look at Thomas Hearns. When he was younger he would get hurt and be noticeably hurt. When he was older he would go to the ropes and clear his head. They learn how to do this and it looks like they can take a better punch. Although I still do not think Hearns had a terrible chin. Almost 70 fights and stopped only 3 times,..

Any boxer can get hurt by a clean shot but Cotto has a great ability to recover, so yeah he takes a punch well. Zab has a good chin too but he doesnt recover well. Theres a difference between having a good chin and taking a punch well.

I know they recover well but at the same time eventually a big punch will come and really get them in trouble and if the ref. is a guy who stops fights, Cotto will be at the end of a premature stoppage.

He was buzz from multiples punches and then he was pulled down. Just go to youtube and review it. Even foreman commented on it during the fight.

I guess he will have to fight Margarito to find out. Funny in a way that Aaron Pryor was known to have a weak chin before the Arguello fight and later people comment how well he takes a punch..
