Kirkland does not have a glass chin, dude. A fighter getting TKO'd isn't always an indication of his durablity. With Ishida, he just got caught off guard and it was an element of surprise more than anything else. He wasn't hurt and kept getting up except the referee pulled the plug..

Ishida didn't expose anything.. It was a lightning in a bottle type of situation.

Kirkland went to war with Angulo and ate countless punches. That's not what you call a glass chin.

Cotto simply isn't big enough to deal with Kirkland's onlaught for 12 rounds. This fight would sort of resemble the first Margarito fight except it would be more brutal.
I don't know bro. I think you're overrating Kirkland or underestimating Cotto. Kirkland's chin isn't glass but it is closer to that than iron like Margarito's. Margarito took a lot of punishment to finally wear down and stop Cotto late and there is no way Kirkland's chin holds up to even half of that. Between Ishida and Angulo, Kirkland was dropped 4 times and then clearly outboxed by Molina. Cotto is stronger, more experienced, and much more skilled than all three of those guys. Kirkland would be up against it with a guy who knows how to box and has power. But this is all a moot thread because 50's fighters never fight anyway. He is wasting these guys' primes.
