    Like I said he has a very good Chin just not an Iron Chin. Iron Chin fighters do not get knocked down much less brutally KOed.

    On a scale of 10 his Chin is probably an 8.

    Okay, name fighters who qualify as having a 10-rated Chin, Rico. Let's hear it from the self-proclaimed master of chins.

    Actually, regarding Margarito, he was hurt against Daniel Santos at 154, and Clottey literally lifted him off the canvas with an uppercut that certainly stunned him.

    you can't make a top chin list without including Tua.
    Lewis couldn't even wobble him

    Damn straight. Those punches from Willie Limond would of laid out ANY light-weight in the world. Khan only got knocked down and hurt. And those punches from Prescott would of knocked out Arthur Abraham, no doubt about it. They were huge, he might be up there with the biggest punchers of all-time. I have to concede though, I think Jason Litzau would of taken them slightly better.

    Forrest hit him with a savage uppercut, Shane made it through the round (and through the next 10 rounds) and I don't think he's ever been on the canvas any other time in his career (correct me if i'm wrong)
