    Yoiu can't take this away from him. Mosley hit Margarito with bomb after bomb, some of the hardest shots I've ever seen land. He loaded up nearly every right hand, and there was just no way in hell Margarito could take them for as long as he did. He did have an iron chin before the fight, this was evident by how many shots he took...it was sickening..but I can't imagine Margarito ever being the same. Ever.

    You can thank Cotto for softening it up and Mosley for breaking it

    I agree....Cotto literally turned Margie's brain into jello.

    That is not good for a human being....it affects you....today or tomorrow.

    His chin is still iron. This fight doesn't change that.. at all.

    Cmon, you are not giving enough credit to Shane for doing the unthinkable. You are basically saying that had Shane and Margo fought before Cotto vs Margo fight then Shane cannot do what he did today.

    Damn, I thought it would take a sledgehammer to smash Marg's chin after I watched the Cotto fight. Shane must've been packing some heat in his gloves tonight. I'm stunned.

    I swear people overrated this "AMAZING" performances so much. B-Hop and now this, seen the opposition in both of those? Yeah they sucked.

    And some people thought Margo would have last the distance against someone like Tito.

    totally agree, those where haymakers from hell Shane was landing.

    It is amazing that he lasted as long as he did, his chin is still cast iron.

    Shane's jab was phenominal and worked his straight right behind it to a tee. He also threw a lead left on serveral occasions to keep Margo off balance. He did all of this in the center of the ring, a place that Cotto found to be foreign. I'm convinced now that if the Cotto-Margarito rematch ever happens that Cotto will prevail.
