    That's a great chin
    Jigga please. He has good defense. That's why his chin is "great".

      Bungalows doesn't let little things like facts and logic get in his way when he's criticizing Mayweather

        Those right hands that Shane hit him with were too much for the granite-chinned Margarito doe lol

              That's because those right hands were hitting Maragarito at will.

                You know what's better than having a world class chin?

                ...not needing to have a world class chin.

                We'll never know if Mayweather can take the kind of punishment that Broner took, because Maidana will never hit him that much.

                His toughness can't be questioned, imo. He out toughens guys who are bigger, and supposed to bully him.

                He also took those shots from Mosley (a huge puncher) pretty well. And one thing that doesn't get mentioned much, was his ability to stay composed in a situation that he's not prone to being in. He got caught with a shot that would have dropped most people, and he handled it well.

                Maidana doesn't have a chance in hell.

                  If by "nearly killed" you mean, couldn't knock down, or win 1 full round vs. Floyd, then yes, Mosley "nearly killed" him.

                    I think his willingness to fight pacquiao or lack there of showed how tough he is. I think he's got average chin just great defense

                      I agree with all except the bold he out slicks them in my opinion. A fighter like Margarito out toughened guys.
