    Mayorga's chin looked like titanium against Tito and then fishnet dropped him a minute into the fight.

        nah mayorgas chin didn't look that good against tito after he gave tito those two free shots.. when the second shot landed he wobbled and that basically changed the course of the whole fight, his bravado backfired.. he shouldnt have offered his chin out like that because he was hurt from that point forward and never recovered..

          he didn't wobble from those left hooks, he wobbled from the right uppercut at the end of the round.

          He then proceeded to take a gazillion shots to the head, which he took MUCH MUCH better than the body shots.

              Nothing wrong with Mayorga's punch resistance even today. He was only ever stopped by the best all of which had serious power.

              I don't think Oscar's power gets the respect it deserves he had a vicious left hook

                Librado Andrade and Antonio Margarito come to mind. Paulie Malignaggi kind of fits too.

                  **** Tiger.

                  Resistance was fading but his chin was cracked and never the same after the Bob Foster fight.

                    margarito's chin never got ruined.

                    He got stopped by mosley because he was hit with 23,475 flush right hands in addition to being weakened from body punches.

                    Cotto didn't put as much behind his shots as Mosley did, Kermit the Frog didn't hit Margarito as often as Mosley did, Pac hurt Margo to the body, and it took him until the 10th to hurt him to the head after using him as a punching bag for 29 minutes and 30 seconds.
