    I think Margarito still holds the crown. I don't care that he got KO'ed, anyone else would have gone down earlier after taking repeated massive shots like that.

      I would suggest you watch the fight again. Andrade was off balance and got a flash KD. He was not hurt and Mack knew it and made no attempt to follow up on it.

      I am pretty sure that Kessler hits as hard or harder than Mack.

          uh...maybe its just me, but that looked like a clean left hook, and he wasnt off balance...he even took a second to stagger and then his legs gave in.

          he still has a fantastic chin and everything, but if that punch would have been the Mosley left hook that rocked Margarito in the 8th, Andrade would have been dropped hard, and might have not made it out of the round. it even took a few more right hands to actually drop Margarito too.

            Sam Peter's chin isnt that amazing. he was almost finished by McCline and even Maskaev had him wobbly at times.

            Adamek definately can take a shot.

            I havent seen Clottey get hit flush by any big punches yet, and I havent
            seen Froch fight any big punchers yet either. dont give me Pascal.

            the shots that Margarito ate for 8 rounds before he got knocked down were ridiculous. clean shot after clean shot, punches that would have easily knocked down or finished pretty much anyone else at Welterweight. Margarito took a TON of them.
            just because he got knocked out doesnt mean that his chin got worse. anyone can be knocked out if you take enough shots. same thing with LaMotta vs Robinson.
            yeah very very true

            those shots tony ate for 8 rounds probably would have KO'd the average supermiddleweight....that was a crazy display of punch resistance before the KO
