Does Bernard Hopkins have a better chin than Antonio Margarito??

Who actually did Margarito fight that had one punch power at the weight? Cotto doesn't, Manny doesn't, Mosley never at welterweight nor Clottey, Williams was not a puncher B-Hops been in with and took absolute bombs from Trinidad, Tarver, Kovalev, Taylor x2, Roy Jones Jr and took them without flinching for most part and the only fighter to ever hurt him bad is Kovalev. No contest really, Bernard all day. :boxing::boxing:

Yes hes faced much, much bigger guys and flat out better fighters with serious power. At almost 50 his chin just held up against a huge LHW with frightening one punch power ffs Margarito had a great chin but its only rated so highly because he had no defense. Tbf most the guys he fought was accumulation punchers.

yes. he's been fighting guys his size and bigger for most of his career. he's a career middleweight. margairto was a huge welterweight. him having the homer simpson defense doesn't mean he's a got a better chin. one of the reasons hopkins has lasted as long as he has is because of his. nevermind the fact that margo's never fought anyone with the firepower of a kovalev, at any point, let alone at hops age and still not get knocked out.

He wasn't even really hurt in the Mosley fight, he just got tired and fatigued, Mosley wore his body down from all the punches and Margo had to drain himself to make weight. Margarito was smiling on the way down it was funny as hell. I remember Margarito got hurt to the body by Pac though, they have a saying that Mexicans have iron chins so go to the body. Hopkins has one thing that you have to say nobody else has, and that is thick skin, the guy doesn't get marked up or cut, seriously Kovalev was landing some shotgun blast bombs with horse hair gloves on and B hop face was left unscathed, he is truly an Alien. Hopkins skin is very strong and he doesn't swell up at all. Please re-watch that fight. Margarito was out on his feet.

The punches Hopkins took last week from one of the biggest punchers in boxing and was NEVER seriously hurt, told me all I need to know about his chin.

It's hard to say because Hopkins gets hit so much less and less cleanly than Margarito did. Hopkins has a hell of a chin and in a long career against the world's best he has never been stopped and rarely knocked down. Mosley is the only fighter I know of that knocked Margarito down and it took lots of flush bombs to do it. I would guess their chins are equally good for their weight.

Anyone seen Margarito seriously hurt? Mosley fight was such out of his ordinary, so outside his pattern that I tend to exclude it. Even his chin was off that high (we know why but that's not the point here) Rios is fine but has bee hurt consistently. BHops is ATG, but defense got him there He wasn't even really hurt in the Mosley fight, he just got tired and fatigued, Mosley wore his body down from all the punches and Margo had to drain himself to make weight.

Go watch Marg. vs Cotto/Pacqauio/Mosley again.......That guy's chin was insane....Seen him laugh flush overhand rights/hooks off like they were nothing....Remb. That overhand right Mosley hit him with at the end of the round...His head snapped back and he laughed and walked back to the corner...smh cotto - margarito 1 is still the best display of chin that i've ever seen in a live boxing match. not only did he take the shots, he smiled and turned the heat up in constancy. i've never seen anythign like that. if you go back to the commentary from experts and ringsiders after the fight, that was what they were talking about. they were dumbfounded by the chin of margarito. many were calling it the best chin they'd seen. cotto, especially at WW, could punch. combinations, hard uppercuts, left hooks to finish off after the right hand, dude was a nice offensive fighter in his prime. margarito walked right through everything. shots would land flush on his chin, and he'd take two steps forward and land a body shot. scary. margarito is blind in one eye, by all accounts. robert garcia basically sent him out to die against manny. he'll be hard pressed to have his faculties intact late in his life.

Margarito has an iron chin, Mosley had to basically fatigue Margarito to put him down and Margo wasn't even knocked down with a legit drop it was accumulation of shots and Margo body fatigued or gave out from the punishment that Mosley threw on him. Mosley will even tell you MArgo chin is insane. B hop has a great chin as well, he is more of a Bradley type, extreme conditioning and clean living is able to help him absorb shots but he has great recovery, a few times Hopkins gets dropped by hard shots he bounces back up and recovers well. But B hop has an underrated chin but his recovery is insane, freakish recovery and ability to maintain balance after being hurt. Margarito though is on another level, him and Brandon Rios have those iron chin and ability to eat flush power shots like candy. Only reason I won't put B hops chin at the level of Margarito is B hop is a defensive guy who rarely got hit, Margarito gets hit in every single fight with flush power shots and thousands more than B hop has and takes them like candy.

No. Margarito got hit flush 1000 times each fight. He rarely rolled with punches he just ate them head on. Hopkins has a great chin but has an even better defense. He rarely get's hit flush. He rolls with every punch and so most punches only glance/bounce off his big ass alien head. Lol this had me dying. I agree though, Tonys chin is legit, Hop just had the better defense.

Definitely not.

no. bernard hopkins has great defense. he masters distance, timing, slipping. when he can't get out of the wya, he generally takes a lot of the steam off of shots by rolling with them. margarito was a freaking punching bag. dude's idea of defense was blocking shots with his face.
