    Sosa lasted 12 with Floyd and Floyd was down vs Hernandez, Judah ( not counted ) and hurt by Corley. Cotto can hurt him too . Its a completely different fight stylistically
    He was stunned by Corley not hurt, Hurt is what Corley did to Cotto. Floyd was down against Hernandez because He hit his hand wrong, and Judah countered him and caught him off balance, so none of these prove that Floyd doesn't have a great chin. Margarito doesn't hit that hard, and he wasn't landing a whole bunch of clean shots with really good leverage behind them. Also what does Sosa lasting 12 rounds against Floyd have to do with if he could bust Cotto up? I am not saying he would stop Cotto, I am not saying he will outpunch Cotto, I am saying that his punches would effect Cotto enough that Miguel couldn't just walk straight in all night.
    Cuz if a complete bum like Sosa could go 12 with Floyd without ever being troubled then an established superstar like Cotto could. Just compare their fights with Sosa.

    Floyd has never met a pressure guy like Tony so we dont know how he'd react . A chinny light welter like Ricky is nowhere near the kind of pressure hed face from Tony. So seemings as weve never seen Floyd handle pressure ( apart from when most people thought he lost to Castillo the 1st time) I think its a decent indication to how hed do with Margarito .

    Chinny or not Hatton came forward the whole fight. He put more pressure on mayweather then Margarito ever could because he is way faster if Margarito can't keep up with Mayweather were is the pressure going to be coming from? Nobody puts more pressure on an opponent then Hatton does thats his whole game, He smothers you. If oyu would watch the first Castillo fight, Castillo whole key to success was not putting on ridiculous pressure. Castillo was coming in, not throwing punches and he really gave Floyd problems because Floyd is better when his opponent comes in throwing punches, but Castillo was taking his time and using a more Cotto type approach against mayweather where he ignored the head and went to the body mostly, but he cut off the ring effectively which Margarito has never done, and he was a lot faster than Margarito and threw way more accurate punches.
    Also what about Sosa, he had just almost taken off Spadafora's head before he fought Mayweather. He was different fighter when he fought Mayweather, and Mayweahter hits way harder at 147 then he did at 135. Besides, Cotto wouldn't be able to take COtto's power so why are you assuming that Sosa's chin isn't better than Cotto's? Another guy Ndou who regardless of his chin came forward throwing a ton of punches against Mayweather had Margarito's height, also had good power, but Mayweahter was able to dodge almost everything, and Mayweather was fighting aggresively that fight.

    Not too sure what your point is here but as for Floyd fighting aggressivley vs Ndou , did you know Ndou fought a Birmingham journeyman and was laid out unconcious for 10 in just 3 rounds. he was put there to make Floyd look good .

    Also I disagree about Hatton being a better pressure fighter . All he does is hold on and walk on to shots thus getting knocked clean out . Margarito is more effective with his pressure cuz he eats up all the shots that come at him to land his own bigger shots .

    How can people say Floyd Doesn't have the chin of Margo? I've never seen Floyd hurt at all so I don't know how good his chin is either way.
