Does Brandon Rios have Margarito's chin?

Its not about the guys chin, it's about his will to win at all costs. Sure his chin holds up, but he is prepared to win at all costs, thats far more scary then a guy with a granite chin. Brandon Rios is one game son of a b1tch

Hell no Rios was hurt in that Alvardo fight. Not saying Margarito was never hurt but Rios don't take punches the way Margarito used too. IMO Rios will be beaten and broken down sooner than later.

Don't think it's fair to be saying the Cotto or Mosley who stopped Margarito would also stop Rios....they are guys who were at 147 then and have both fought higher than that, Rios is a 135lb fighter so it's not a fair comparison. So far Rios has had his chin tested countless times and every time he's walked through that test with a smile on his face and throwing bombs in return. He has a tremendous chin.

Margarito has a better chin you cant even compare them

Margarito got hurt before the Mosley fight. Watch him do the chicken dance against Santos : http://home.comcast.net/~antwuanmax/boxing/bumarito2.gif that looks like it didnt land on the chin but on the top of his head

No, Brandon Rios has Brandon Rios' chin.....duh.

theres no doubt in my mind that the Mosley who fought marg could stop Rios Yeah, but that wouldn't negate the point of the question. He could still have as good a chin as Margarito and be stopped by Shane, see?

Despite what some people will say Rios actually has some defense and a little head movement on the inside. Margarito does NOT. Rios has a good chin so far, he still needs to be tested by an "elite" fighter. Someone who isn't just known but is known as "elite". I think Marquez would beat him, due to his experience and he'll just out think Rios. I feel Pacquiao is too fast for him, he'll just flurry and turn or move a little. If he bangs with Rios that would be interesting. I'd like to see how Rios power really is and how good his chin is against a very powerful puncher like Pacquiao. At this point I don't think he's ready for those two. He should fight Robert the Ghost. There's some good fighters for him but it sucks for when they're with different promoters. Mainly that Top Rank vs. Golden Boy thing. I want to see Rios vs. Khan. Amir is signed with Golden Boy still? Indeed she is!

It took an absolute thrashing with huge shots from Shane to make Marg's chin give out. Rios has a good chin, but he seemed hurt at times. Just cuz you're hurt doesnt mean you have a bad chin or anything but it happened a lot. Margarito was a damn zombie. I think near his class only Shane competes in terms of chin. Marg, cheater or not that guy's will to win was out of this world. As was his stamina. Marg is like a nightmare. Imagine being a power ouncher and just not do ANYTHING to him and he keeps coming forward throwing 100 punches a round? :|...

rios has a good chin he definitly takes a good shot and keeps coming

Rios has a great chin, too early to say whether its as good as Margarito's or Froch. He may find like a lot of fighters that it wears down over time. Repeatedly taking heavy shots isnt good for any fighter and this may accelerate as he moves up in weight. Rios fights the way he fights, and I dont see him making any great defensive adjustments. He might get more canny with experience, but he will always be a brawler. I love watching the guy fight, definitely an entertainer.

He reacts to punches more than Marg did but still Rios has a fantastic chin. Comparing anyone to Margarito is just not fair. Guy was undead. Perfectly put.

He has a great chin, maybe not yet on Margarito's level but still a great chin. I have to see him again vs strong boxers because fights like the one he had against Rios take toll on the body so it's important to see if his chin is still the same.

Body shots did it and he basically had no legs after that....added to being drained and mentally broken. I'll have to watch the fight again, but I do remember SSM had military type laser sight with his right hand that fight. That thing was landing like it had a mind of it's own. I'm still shocked to this day that somebody at 147 stopped Marg the way SSM did. I had Marg winning in a 12 round war, going into that fight. So my opinion means as much as a pile of shit, lol.

nah, but it's pretty good

yeah till mosley folded his ass in half lol Body shots did it and he basically had no legs after that....added to being drained and mentally broken.

yeah till mosley folded his ass in half lol In all fairness (ironic, huh) he had been caught attempting to cheat with plaster and was mentally defeated before he even got in the ring with Mosley. He basically let Shane knock him out.
