Cotto's chin is not questionable.

He got dropped & got up & then knocked out both of the men that dropped him...or if you consider the ref stepping in...he still TKO'd them.

Cotto has been hit by some of the heavy hitters out there. Many of the men that Cotto has beaten were top fighters & also put up a great fight.

Cotto's fantastic on the fact alone that his record reads like a who's who at Light Welter weight. He's bested & faced people like Corley, Pinto, Bailey, Sosa, Branco, N'dou, & Abdulaev. He's still young & in the start of his career.

Nothing overratted about that. If you follow 140 & 147 closely...you know the reputations of the men that he has beaten & that solidifies Cotto as a force...not a myth at Welter & Light Welter.
