    Can Margarito take the same shots Mosley took from Cotto?

    Those exchanges between Cotto and Mosley were brutal. Head snapping! I mean, you'd think the fight was some WWE fake **** the way they snapped each other's heads back and forth and neither went down the entire fight. Unbelieveable. Now I ask, do you think Margarito would have been able to take those same shots? He does have an iron chin, but...also do you think Margarito's shots would have the same power as Shane in a balance in that Shane has speed but lacks some pop, where Margarito lacks speed, he hits abit harder. What u think?

      Margarito has a better chin and also hits harder, this isn't the lightweight prime Mosley, he is facing bigger guys now at the age of 37 with some speed lost. Mosley is tough witnessed by his first fight with Vernon Forrest...i dont know how he hung in there he was on his way to getting KTFO

        Yes. Margarito has maybe the best chin in boxing right now, so he will be able to take Cotto's shots to the head. We'll have to wait and see how he responds to Cotto's body punches though.

          Mosley has always been known to have a pretty good beard, he even said he's got a "thick coat" as well when it comes to body punches, and I think it showed on the Cotto fight.

          Margarito has shown to have an iron chin and although I think his body can absorb punishment, I can't be 100% sure if it's as strong as his chin. Tony is an overall tough and stong guy so I wouldn't be surprised if he can take shots to the ribs as well as his chin, but I guess we will see if that's true on July 26th.

                Margarito has sparred with much bigger guys than Cotto
                I'm confident that his body can take anything Cotto dishes out.
                If he can take shots from Alfredo Angulo then he can easily take Cottos shots.

                  I mean in a comparison idea. Where he lacks the speed, he's slower but makes up for that by hitting harder. As in, harder than Mosley.
