Could a 2008 Margarito take shots from a heavyweight?

[SonnyDempsey]

Here's an admittedly oddball question. How do you think a prime, 2008 version of Margarito would handle one or two hard shots from an average heavyweight (say Arreola, Thompson, etc.). Would he be able to handle it, or would his chin crack like any other welterweight?

I think he'd fare pretty well, but I could see where anyone would think he wouldn't.

A good hard punching heavyweight would KO Margarito in my opinion but he had a great chin for a welterweight. A hard punching heavyweight hits much harder than Mosley.

[Suckmedry]

Nah man thats too much weight. He might eat a few before he goes down but would go down hard eventually.

[Mr Randy Watson]

hard hitting mw koes him easy

[boliodogs]

If Arreola hit him clean on the button with his best punch I think Margarito would be knocked down and probably out.

That's why I don't blame Mayweather for ducking him....I would've ducked him too.

Prime Tony was a monster

im 33 years old and iv watched boxing a long time on and off since
i was 14 but i have never seen a boxer able to take shots like
Ricardo Mayorga yes not a great fighter but i say the best chin
maybe in the history of boxing **** plaster hands.

No, and it's nothing to do with his chin, but a frame that size is ill equipped to deal with punches from guys that big, even if his chin took it the force would literally knock him over

he could take a shot if somebody poured him a drink lol
