Who has the better chin, Mosley or Margarito?

[Thread Stealer]

On one hand, you could say Shane, as the only guy to drop him when he wasn't an old man was Vernon Forrest, who is a bigger puncher than Danny Perez, who dropped Margarito with a single shot.

Still, I'm more inclined to pick Margarito based on the beatings he's taken and the clean shots he's absorbed to the chin. Mosley is no Pernell Whitaker, but he's a better defensive fighter than Margarito.

Shane also has more of a tendency to go into a bit of a shell when he gets hit hard. Margarito's crazy ass acts like he enjoys getting punched in the face and just keeps coming. During the 1:07 mark against Mosley, rather than roll away from Shane's right hand, he takes the full brunt of it while he's coming forward.





Maybe Shane could take the punishment that Margarito did for 8 rounds before finally going down, who knows, but I'll go with Margarito here based on how he's proven he can take prolonged beatings while staying on his feet.

This is an example of how it can be hard to compare chins/punch resistance of certain fighters. You have to take into account their defenses, and mentality when they get hit hard.

Their chins are about equal but I say Margarito is a **** load tougher

Dumb question since mosley destroyed and stopped margarito where mosley took the worst beatings from vernon davis and survived twice. Mosley also fought mayorga, cotto, paciquao, Vargas twice all heavy hitters and never stopped.

Mosley...

Marg's been KO'd and down a few times. I can't say the same for Shane.

But then again, Marg has taken more shots on the chin due to his style.

I think Shane does.

Shane ran when he tasted Pac's punches while I heard Margo, after the fight asked for Pac's gloves cause he loved the taste of its leather.

I can't argue with that.

Shane had on his Usain Bolt's that night.

I almost called him Shane Lewis.

Those making the argument about Pac only dropping Mosley cuz he was old is bull****. Your chin is the last thing to go. They both have great chins but I go with Marg.

Do you really know about boxing ? Mosley was hurt and was down with Vernon Forest and Manny Pacquiao. What do you talking about

And Margarito was hurt and down against Mosley and Danny Perez...what's your point?


Margarito was also hurt against Clottey[badly, he ran in to a Clottey uppercut and held on for dear life, was out on his feet], and Santos hurt Margarito. What's your point? So you don't know about boxing either.

Margarito has the better chin, he runs into flush shots.
