    Is Tony only champ right now because of his Chin?

    He's lost to PWilliams, a guy that could match him in punch output and stamina. He was losing the boxing match BAD against Cotto early on that had him eating bomb after bomb with neck snapping punches. Any other fighter would have wilted under those. Marg ate them like he hadn't eaten for a year. Had his chin not been great, he wouldn't be in the position he is now. Which makes me think, after you hit the chin enough times, it eventually begins to crack, look at Morales. Once Marg's chin finally expires, I think he'll be reduced to a very generic pressure fighter. I also think, PWilliams can beat him again due to his height, stamina, and punch output. Someone mentioned Tony's status as champ might be short lived, and it might be true. Let's see what happens in the next few coming matchups.

        This thread wasn't about Pacquiao. Don't hate on him because of his current status. Talk about the thread topic.

          You have to also account for his unbelievable stamina, determination and will. It's what makes boxing so interesting because you can have all the ability in the world, but if you lack a few certain attributes it could be tough to win fights.

            hes champ because hes relentless and keeps moving forward
            he will be knocked out sooner or later with that no defense type of style
            and end up like hatton fighting on Versus

                Asking this question makes Margarito sound like some bum who can only take a punch.

                  His chin. And his shoulders, arms, hands, legs, feat and torso.

                    then why are you hating on margarito and his current status

                    margarito just took the best shots from the hardest hitting ww. He already took paul williams slaps. He took a bigger daniel santos harder shots. So how exactly is this chin supposed to crack again? ****en hater!!!!! There is alot more to margarito then his chin dumb ass too bad you dont know enough about boxing to see those things.
