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.
Librado Andrade now has boxing's best chin.

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.Comment

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.Comment

yeah very very trueI disagree. Andrade was legitimately hurt and knocked down by Yusaf Mack...early on too. and while Mack isnt a bad puncher, lets face it, if Andrade was up against some with the power and speed combo of Mosley, he would have been dusted off pretty early on.
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.
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 KOComment
