pacquiao/margarito, who's got the better chin?

[aether]

Margarito fans you know Pacman is fighting 41 pounds above his starting wight. ADD 41 pounds to Margarito starting wight and tell me what division he would be fighting in.

not sure if it works that way...

its fair to assume that marg has the better chin

Ahhh, now that is a proper comparison. A very good question and quite difficult to answer. Cotto is a very solid puncher and he was hitting Marg with shots that were flush and not seen a couple of times as well.

Kessler is also a very solid puncher and he was hitting Andrade with some of the most brutal shots I can remember a guy being hit with without him going down or even being really hurt. That was really crazy.

I'm going to have to go with Andrade slightly since I've never seen him even staggered and I think I've seen him take bigger, flush shots over and over right on target. He's never been out or down, whereas Margarito has at least been stunned and gone down a couple of times.

Edit: Actually, that last part is not true. I remember a great fight of Andrade's I have in which he does go down. It's a weird shot in the first round that's kind of a flash KD but does hurt him a bit. Mack is a very big puncher though and after that he seems to warm up and doesn't get hurt by anything in the fight again. Hmmm, now I'm not too sure. Maybe just a little bit to Andrade still.

thank you, i agree, great great analyzatin and no biases

Pacquiao taking hard shots from 106 to 147 is unmatch...

Pacman was 16 when he was fighting at 106. Mayweather also at 16 was fighting at 106 but Mayweather fought Oscar at 154

Mayweather at 16 fighting amateurs while Pacman at 16 is fighting pros..
Fighting pros and fighting amateurs are two different things.. Are you OK?
Pacquiao is taking hard shots from 106 - 147 and it is unmatch by any boxer at this era... P4p Pacman got the best chin in this era... If you put Margarito to MW and let his chin be tested by Pavlik and Abraham i think it would broke into pieces...

Of course its two different things but does that change the fact they weight the same at 16.

My post is understandable you are getting pointless right now... Pls take a rest...


FIGHTING AT PROS AND FIGHTING AMATEURS IS TWO DIFFERENT THINGS even you insist that they are at the same weight at the age 16...

Margarito obviously. Pacquiao requires movement and defensive skills as much as chin in order to win bouts. Margarito doesn't.
