    Does Vargas have a weak chin?

    Vargas was KO'd by Delahoya, Trinidad, Mosley, and was knocked down by Wilfedo Rivera. Im wondering cuz Mosley has not KO'd anyone since 2001. I know Mosley moved up in weight and had no power but, I wanted to hear the board's opinion on this.

      That left hook would have hurt everybody 154 and down.

      Vargas has a mediocre chin, not granite, but not bad either.

        i think vargas has had a weak chin his whole career. the only thing that kept him from getting KOd so often is his heart. that and his poor quality of opposition (save for winky and quartey).

          i think vargas' ability to take a punch has diminished. obviously he was taking shots much better back when he was fighting tito and even oscar.

              This is questionable. Only because Tito and DLH have that tremendous left-hook.It can be a factor of both. Now Mosley has KO'ed him, he hasn't had a KO in years especially in these uppper weight classes.So it can be argued that he does and doesn't!

                Tito ruined Vargas' career, he beat the **** out of him. It is like when announcers talk about fighters getting old right in front of you such as Morales with Pacquaio. Vargas is done with boxing unless he wants to start fighting B level fighters. He shouldnt move up, some big middleweight punchers.

                  I dont know, a lot of those shots, especially the one where Tito made his head snap back would have put anyone down.

                    His chin isn't very good, its below average but i wouldn't say its glass. Mosely's power is underated, and his power is getting better as hes getting older because peak strength is at age 35 and Mosely himself has said that his power is getting better as he is aging.
