    So Called "Great Chins" Are Overrated

    Im not mad at anyone staying at 1 division there whole career and being considered a great fighter. However, I dont think its fair to say someone has a super super super great chin if they never move up in weight. Margarito has a great WW chin but can you honestly say his chin is better then a guy who has been in multiple divisions? He just got hit clean by 2 monsters and didnt flinch but they were guys who were either his own size or smaller then him. He moved up to fight Santos and was rocked a few times. I wont totally rip him for that since Santos was a Southpaw and they can catch you with blind shots but Im also not sold that he would just be able to take a great punch at the next level. He probably can right now since 154 is probably the worst division in boxing right now but if they still had some big dogs then I wouldnt be sold on his chin.

    I definatly am not sold on his chin at 160. I think he would get rocked a ton up there and that would only be his 3rd division. If you dont have a super great chin in your 3rd divison then I dont think its fair to just say that he has the best chin in the sport. Even P4P you cant say that since he's a huge WW. Dont get me wrong, he obviously has a monster chin but is it fair to automatically say that its better then another guy who has been in multiple divisions? I love guys like Hagler who are beast but is it really super special that he never gets hurt at MW when he stayed there his whole career and was a solidly built guy? Not to mention that his really big fights came against guys moving up in weight so they didnt have really any chance of hurting him. If I see Margarito take a punch from Pavlik, Taylor, Abraham, Miranda, or even a guy like Tito then I would say that he has a super great chin

        You don't call no shots.

        SHUT THE **** UP YOUR OWN SELF





        Margarito has a great chin P4P. He can carry it up.

        Obviously he'd feel punches more in the higher weightclasses.
        But it's still a great chin.

        Remember that he draining down to welter, which can work agin a fighter in weakening they chin.

          damn this fool STAY lookin through my trash. not many things amuse me on the internet, but knowing that i've affected your emotional state to the point of you using caps actually brings a smile to my face. now go ahead with the typical "you dont matter enough for me to blah blah" response.

            Marvin Hagler.

            The man in my avatar is a perfect example of a "p4p" great chin.

                I don't think that Margarito does drain to make 147. I don't think he has ever failed to make weight on his first try, and always looks strong. In his fight at 154 with Santos he didn't look any stronger tbh

                  Werd son! James Toney has a ****ing great chin! He's been hit from guys at 160 all the way up to 240 (or whatever the **** Peter weighs)

                    From what I've seen, Margarito has a hell of a chin.
