Who has/had the better chin Shane Mosley or Antonio Margarito?

Margarito has taken three beatings, two as bad as you will see in boxing, in his last four fights. He takes it like a freaking champ.

Margarito's chin, unless Pacquiao f***ed it up, is as reliable as a chin can get in boxing.

Tough to say, probably say Marg by a hair. Don't think Shane would have taken the damage he dished out like Marg did.

Margarito easily when you consider how often he is hit on the chin compared to Shane.

They both got a strong chin but I would say Margarito.
He took all the punches from MP but Mosley got knocked down once and ran away the whole fight.

NO way. This is Mosley easy to me. Margarito's chin is beast. He takes alot of clean shots but because of his style, they arent full shots. Take for example the Cotto fight. Cotto landed big but he never fully commited to any punch because he had to soon be in retreat thereafter and thats the same for 99% of his opponents.

Watch Cotto fight a normal guy. He will dig his shot into you. He didnt dig any shot into Margarito because he didnt want to get punished. I think Mosley takes more shots were guys get to fully unload on him because of his style.

Thats why you saw a Mosley take Margarito out in only 7 rounds because he was one of the only guys to ever dig in and commit to his punches against Margarito. Then he would tie him up so there could be no return. No one else has ever really done that, atleast not on a consisent basis

Mosley, this is an easy answer. Remember with Paquiao, look at his age.

Although I would say Margarito, people shouldnt compare their chins based on the fights with Pacquaio....Mosely was 39 in that fight, while Margarito fought Pac at 32 years

both good but I'd say mosley.

I think Mosley punches harder than Margarito but I do not think Mosleys chin is as strong as Margaritos. Mosley showed he was hurt against Pacquiao, Floyd, Cotto(in this fight they both showed signs they were hurt at times), and Forrest.

While Mosley has a good chin, I don't think its granite or anything special. I however think his ring intelligence is underrated, when he is hurt he knows what to do next without getting ktfo.
