Cotto at 140 had a pretty weak chin, true it was from being weight drained, but he ended up having a decent chin at welter, the main great thing Cotto has is he recuperates quickly and has good defense when hurt
ElTerrible... normally a fighter with a weak chin does not improve with a change in weight. That Cotto was weight drained at 140, that's 100% correct. But I think he gets a bad rap for his chin 'cause he got caught cold in a couple of his fights, most notably the one against Corley. He also got rocked by Torres, but remember that Torres is heavy-handed and throws bombs.

I also think that, when Cotto decided to go back to his smart boxing style and stopped trying to KO his opponents in the first few rounds, he also lost his tendency to get caught cold with counter punches.
