      What's so ****** about it? Im just curious to know if Marg would be a force in the boxing world on skill alone. Having a great chin has nothing to do with skill.

        What else does Margarito have besides a granite chin and pressure/stamina? Its not as if posseses great boxing ability. He just comes at you, takes your best shots, and throws his in return.
        He does posses some boxing ability come on now! He has a very good jab which allows him to compete with all the highly skilled boxers in his division, he also posseses B+ power otherwise he wouldn't be able to put much pressure on if his punches didn't have pop. I have a feeling you dont appriciate blue coller work ethic and Tony's same attributes made Julio Ceasar Chavez the best boxer to come out of Mexico, an all time great, and a sure shot Hall of famer.

          Neither does quick reflexs and speed! They are all given to the fighter at birth thru genetics.

            its ****** because its one of those what if somebody didnt have something topics,
            what if mike tyson didnt have great power?
            what if floyd didnt have great speed?
            what if oscar didnt have a great left hook?

            and its ****** because that is what defines those people
            and makes them who they are

                THis is for you and all the haters in here, If you guys have been following boxing Whe all know that theirs no way in hell that you can make it to the level that Margarito is in right now(One of the best in the world) with just a good chin. His skills are underated and I'll say it again he wouldn't of made it this far with just a good chin, their has been plenty of fighters with great chins or great power and dont make it to the elite level, It takes more then that. Stop drinking that haterade and give the man his props, hes a brawler with skills.

                  Well given that he has a chin made out of titanium, it has certaintly helped him from being KO'd in fights where i felt he would've gotten KO'd had it not been for his beard. He took some brutal shots from Clottey, Cintron, and certainly Cotto.

                  Secondly, this thread was not meant to bash Marg in anyway. Im actually a fan of his.

                    Yeah but can you agree that theirs no way that Margarito could of made it to the elite level with just a good chin, theirs more to it. Agree?

                      I cant say i agree. Without that chin, he would've been KO'd on numerous occasions, due to his lack of defense and the fact that he's taken some serious bombs to the head in many of his past fights.

                      Without that chin, he would'nt be able to utilize his other weapons because he would've been flat on his back.

                      With that said, i still respect him as a fighter, and i will always be a fan of his style.
