    Does Brandon Rios have Margarito's chin?

    He's able to take severely damaging shots without blinking. Is he at Margarito's level, ca. 2008?

    Looks like it.

    Problem I have is that a granite chin should not be an excuse not to learn defense.

        yet alavardo got landed on at a higher percentage LOL. Rios defense is underrated. when you in someone face every second of every round you gonna get tagged more then somone who is their focusing on pure boxing.

          He reacts to punches more than Marg did but still Rios has a fantastic chin. Comparing anyone to Margarito is just not fair. Guy was undead.

                ya when rios got hit hard and clean a few times in the alvarado fight you could tell on his face it hurt and he would sorta lean back, smile, and then go forwards again. margarito on the other hand would just smile at your punches and keep walking at you like you hit like a little girl

                  Put Rios in with the Cotto that Margarito fought in 2008. Rios doesn't hear the bell for the 7th round. I hate Margarito, but dude had a chin of granite.

                    He has a good chin but I don't think it is as good as Margarito's chin. In his 9th pro fight he was knocked down twice in the 1st round by a bum named Joel Ortega who now has a record of 11 wins and 17 loses and he has only KOed 6 guys in 28 fights. I did not see the fight so maybe Rios was not hurt. I though Acosta hurt him.
