    Rios has a great chin, too early to say whether its as good as Margarito's or Froch. He may find like a lot of fighters that it wears down over time. Repeatedly taking heavy shots isnt good for any fighter and this may accelerate as he moves up in weight.

    Rios fights the way he fights, and I dont see him making any great defensive adjustments. He might get more canny with experience, but he will always be a brawler. I love watching the guy fight, definitely an entertainer.

        It took an absolute thrashing with huge shots from Shane to make Marg's chin give out. Rios has a good chin, but he seemed hurt at times. Just cuz you're hurt doesnt mean you have a bad chin or anything but it happened a lot.

        Margarito was a damn zombie. I think near his class only Shane competes in terms of chin.

        Marg, cheater or not that guy's will to win was out of this world. As was his stamina. Marg is like a nightmare. Imagine being a power ouncher and just not do ANYTHING to him and he keeps coming forward throwing 100 punches a round? :|...

          Margarito got hurt before the Mosley fight. Watch him do the chicken dance against Santos :

            Despite what some people will say Rios actually has some defense and a little head movement on the inside. Margarito does NOT. Rios has a good chin so far, he still needs to be tested by an "elite" fighter. Someone who isn't just known but is known as "elite". I think Marquez would beat him, due to his experience and he'll just out think Rios. I feel Pacquiao is too fast for him, he'll just flurry and turn or move a little. If he ****s with Rios that would be interesting. I'd like to see how Rios power really is and how good his chin is against a very powerful puncher like Pacquiao. At this point I don't think he's ready for those two.

            He should fight Robert the Ghost. There's some good fighters for him but it sucks for when they're with different promoters. Mainly that Top Rank vs. Golden Boy thing. I want to see Rios vs. Khan. Amir is signed with Golden Boy still?

                  Yeah, but that wouldn't negate the point of the question. He could still have as good a chin as Margarito and be stopped by Shane, see?
