I remember that and I actually used to ask when did Margarito prove he had an iron chin. It was during the same argument I was trying to have people prove to me that Cintron has great punching power. 2 myths that have no real proof to back them up.

I think he proved he had a really good chin against PWill and Cotto. Neither one of those guys hits like a girl and they both landed throughout those fights.

I used to say that about Roy jones Jr when they said he had a A= chin...I was like how do you know when he never really got hit on it! No matter in this case with Margacheato cause it was the body work that Mosley put in that caused his chin to fail IMO!

I always thought Roy had a good chin too because I saw him take good shots from Montiel Griffin who although not known as a big puncher hit him pretty hard at times. Still it was the really good shot I saw him take from Ruiz that had me thinking his chin was strong. I was pretty shocked when he was KO'd by Tarver but even then it was a shot Roy never saw and those are the ones that really get you.

The thing nobody seems to realize in the PWill fight is that PWill put on a boxing clinic. Like Cotto he never really sat down on his punches in that fight. I think Paul came in there wary of Margarito's power because he was clearly using his reach advantage and clinching Margarito on the inside so he wasn't in there trying to slug with him. I did think Cotto caught Marg with good shots though. Anyway when I asked that question back in the day it was before the Cotto fight which made me look retarded. Then Mosley comes along KO's Margarito and I don't know what to think LOL.

I dont think theres any question that Margarito has a solid chin. It has been his MO to take his opponents best shots and clean up at the end. In the Mosley fight, it was the body that started it. Then several rounds of Shane loading up the HUGE right that eventually got him. It showed that Margarito is still just a man. Cotto hit Margarito with everything in the book. Look at Tony's face at the end of that fight. Clottey caught Margarito with a wicked counter early in their fight that stopped Margarito in his tracks. Daniel Santos came in at 180ish and was tagging margarito's head all night in their 2nd fight. No question dude has a tough set of whiskers, but being caught flush with so many hard shots eventually catches up to you, like it did in the Mosley fight...
