He didn't walk through Mosley's.Comment

Margo does have a great chin too. He did take those shots like they were nothing, but Cotto pretty much ruined his chin. You could see it in the Mosley fight. The first decent shot Mosley landed in the first round sent Margo flying back. He even said it himself that he had not completely recovered from the Cotto fight when he stepped in the ring with Mosley. I think that's why he's boxing a lot more now instead of brawling.
La Porte on the other hand has dealt with bombs from several legends. He went 15 rounds with Salvador Sanchez, and afterwards went 12 with JCC and Wilfredo Gomez. And even towards the end of his career he took Kosta Tszyu's best shots for 10 rounds without folding. That's four not just amazing punchers, but legendary punchers. John John Molina was also a decent puncher and he took his shots too.
Right. Laporte had a great chin and a better one than Margarito.Comment

Gorilla Jones gets my vote...
138 fights never KO'd once.
Was only knocked down one time in 138 scraps, and that was by Freddie Steele a guy in the 30's who had a sick heavy handed left hook.Comment

Hector Camacho also had a sick chin also fellas.
Tex Cobb and George Chuvalo didnt get mentioned.Comment

You're right that you can't go wrong either way. One Laporte fight I watch a lot is the one vs Rocky Lockridge. Laporte not known as a puncher knocked Lockridge out with a counter right hand. Beautiful punch.
