    For what I have seen this year he is a Top 5 no doubt. If he at least would have been a top 20 he would have been KOed in the Cotto fight.

    I won't try to put him in an all-time category, but no one in the sport today has that kind of chin; or at least no one I can think of. I thought Librado Andrade had a good chin!!! He takes the phrase "no pain no gain" to a higher level.

    Cintron can if anything hit like a mule; and Tony laughed at him. Cotto would have made anyone in the division take a dirt nap with the barrage of punches he was landing, but Tony was acting like the punches were pesky flies stinging him. Great whiskers on Tony; he'd have to be high up on the list.

    The last guy i saw take shots of that magnitude without blinking and eye or taking a backward step , was Marvin Hagler . Margarito doesnt do anything great , but does everything well , can punch all night , and has a chin carved from granite.

    The beating he took off Larry Holmes made Larry Holmes vs Muhammad Ali look like a sparring session it was that bad.

    Tony has a glass jaw...............of the bullet proof variety. His punch resistance is fucking amazing, I'm sure Cotto thought he could knock him out due to all the head hunting.

    What gets me is that margarito gets stronger and stronger the more you hit him. That would be hard for any fighter to keep up with him

    Tony has an iron chin but you cant possible compare it to LaMottas or Robinsons as hes never been hit by nuclear missles and stayed up, they have. Cotto just is not a huge puncher on the elite level its become a beatdown kinda power.

    James Toney is still obviously up there as well. Ibrigamov took both everything Felix Savon had to dish out in the amateurs and took Klitschko's and Holyfield best punches in the pros so maybe he has a special chin.

    Margarito's chin would be as good as any WW in history.

    What about David Tua? Merqui Sosa? Merqui walked through storm again James Toney, and only the combinaton of Roy Jones Jr's blistering power and speed was able to drop him.

    Im sure Tua was knocked out by Savon in amatuers but great chin in the pros but he was hurt a little by Lennox and Rahman.
