    Not everything is about weight when it comes down to punching power. Margarito throws arm punches.

    (I've got to go out now anyway).

    Not unbeatable he just won`t be beat by a smaller fighter who throws wide punches and at around half of his normal pace when fighting counter punchers.

    when a guy outweights you by 20 lbs it means al ot. And Pac would have eaten up those shots Mosley landed on Floyd. Floyd's got a B grade chin at best, nothing special. If you wanna get on his nuts ,talk about his defense or his athleticism , not his chin.

    wide punches ? :huh FLoyd would get beaten by pac because a) he doesn't do enough to keep him off for 12 rounds, and 2 ) he looks nothing special at all against southpaws.

    Watch what you're saying cause your chin rep might eventually take a beating...

    RJJ had been hit harder and more often by bigger men without being hurt before the Tarver bomb that permanently changed things around and made guys like you now ridicule his chin.

    Mayweather just hasn't been hit clean too often in his career since he's moved up to 140lbs and above. He rolls quite well with the punches when it happens anyways. The Mosley fight was just a sign of what could occur as he ages.

    If Mayweather comes back and gets knocked out like Roy, your role amongst the chincheckers will be TKOed.

    but lately, he's been exhibiting some glass heart.

    Pacquiao showed in the Margarito fight, and the Cotto fight as well, that his body is made of titanium. Never mind not being glass, he has some of the best body resilience I've ever seen. He just taps his gloves together after taking ripping shots from much bigger and heavier guys who are known for their bodypunching.

    No he doesn't that's why his whole style is about not getting hit and countering / pre empting.

    Oscar and Forrest laughed at a prime Mosleys best shots... Are they now superhuman...

    Mosleys punch is overrated, he hit Cotto with bombs and never had him on ***** street... is Cottos chin now made of iron too???

    Can't argue with this.

    Never before have I seen someone's chin rating shoot upwards after he is given spaghetti legs from single shots.

    A better version of Shane than the one who Floyd fought was unable to stop Luis Collazo and Miguel Cotto - so they have iron chins as well now?

    apparently now, those shots during round two are some of the most powerful shots that ever landed in boxing just because floyd weathered them.

    Pacquiao only throws wide punches?

    Do you think someone should tell the *****s that Winky Wright dropped his hands and invited Shane "Mini Tyson" Mosley to swing on him?

    :yep even if they are aware i'm sure they could find a twist around it so as to make it look like floyd has an iron chin.

    :deal

    It only took two shots to have floyd staggering around the ring like the town drunk.

    If Pac was the one in the ring with Mosley that night getting put on ***** street, all the *****s would be swarming in here calling him china chinned. Karceno would have 50 new articles a day about Pacs chin.

    All in all I think Mayweather has an alright chin with good recovery ability. With his amazing defence it's hard to see his chin really tested.
