man marg has one of the greatest chin i ever seen that ****er dont even attemp to roll the punches he just eat them. i dont see how ppl got mosley ahead mosley wont be able to show the chin marg had. because he wont take that kind of as$ whopping, he will aleast try to attempt to roll punches and hold.
that like saying may has a better chin then marg cause he aint been knockout.
mosleys been down..1 times his entire career.....margos been ko'd how many times?
He went down twice in that round. Counting numbers and **** doesn't mean a whole lot anyway, opposition, amount of damage that piled on is also a factor.
Margarito went down twice against Mosley but in his defence that was after rounds and rounds of torture.
I just checked Boxrec, nothing there, but I noticed that in 13 fights since Forrest 2, he's had only 4 KO's. The KO's were against Mayorga (2) and Vargas (2). So his punch is not really as heavy as is generally thought.
YOUTUBE has the fight and my recollection was correct. He was KD twice, in the second rd.
One thing I'd forgotten was that immediately preceding the first KD there was a hard clash of heads and Mosley was dazed and cut at the hairline. Forrest jumped on him after that. Until then, Mosley had been ahead.
I don't think that Mosley hits as hard, comparatively, as he used to when he was a lightweight. It's the suddenness of his right hand combined with the surprise and the sound which give the impression of overwhelming power.

I'm not so sure either them really has a great chin. Mosley used steroids in his prime and Margarito has been using plaster. It could be that they weakened their opponents (by cheating) enough to take away their punching power. So their chins haven't really been tested.
this post is so wrong..mosley was down 1 time against forrest and margos been ko'd 3 times
edit..meant he'd been down 3 times
The fight was a long time ago, and I haven't seen it since. I could be wrong, but I seem to recall Mosley being down twice. Maybe someone has the video handy. Maybe Boxrec has it.

Down twice, in the same round, I think it was the second rd. He lasted the whole fight although well beaten. His recovery was terrific, as Forrest was much taller and a heavier puncher, with a good left jab as well as right hand.
the only way we can find out about it is to make mosley get hit by mosley :haha:

Wrong, Margarito had been down 5 times in his career, and I'm including his KO loss to Mosley, and Mosley has been KD twice, both to Vernon Forrest.
He's only been stopped once, by Mosley.
I'd give it to Margarito only because he has taken a hell of alot more punches than Mosley has although both their chins are top notch.
true..i wrote that wrong..i meant he'd been down 3 times
That's a difficult question. Mosley has been down on the canvas only twice in his career, both in the same rd. against Vernon Forrest, He's hardly been hit, compared to Margarito, although he is susceptible to a right hand, but usually takes the force off it by "going" with it.
.Margarito has been KO'd once in his life, against Mosley, but has taken enormous amounts of chin punches in his career, which have never seemed t9 bother him.
So I would say, on the evidence that it's impossible to say but I "think" Margarito may have a more solid chin.
