    As I keep saying and you seem to gloss over it and not respond to it, Spence has been on bambi legs by average punchers and even turned his back. So no I don't believe Spence has a better chin than Margarito in whatever scenario you wish to put forth, whether it be single punches or taking a sustained beating.

    Your bringing up Margarito getting stopped, yet I've already told you he was hit round after round by hellacious shots from a puncher in which he took a beating. Mosley hit Margarito with shots that Spence wouldn't of took end of.

    Arguing Spence is a better fighter than Margarito is totally reasonable because I think he is aswell, but he certainly isn't more durable than Margarito end of.

    I see you conveniently left out Austin Trout and Margarito. He was on his way to losing the 2nd Margarito fight as well if Margaritos previously damaged eye didn't give out. Yes I believe Ennis, Spence and Crawford beat Trout. I'll pick all three to beat Margarito as well. I didn't even mention Sadam Ali because that was Cottos last fight but all three beat him as well.

    Crawford and Spence have never fought at Jr Middleweight so thats a big assumption. Trout came very close to beating the likes of Canelo, Charlo, and was unlucky not to get the nod in those fights. Absolutely no guarantee they beat Trout at Jr Middleweight.

    The Margarito loss has a big asterisks over it which I'm not going to bring up.

    And like you said Cotto was shopworn and it was his last fight vs Sadam Ali so no need to bring that up to discredit Cotto.

    Spence south paw stance, jab, endurance, size and relentless pressure would break Cotto down into a late stoppage!

    @Manfred I told you about Spence's chin being suspect, being shaken by mediocre punchers before Crawford fight was always a warning sign.

    The shots that Spence was taking would have disabled any fighter at 147.

    He's an elite fighter but his chin too me was always a bit of a question mark.

    I hear you. I know he takes a lot of shots but his chin has held up pretty good. I always felt that he couldn't stand up under Crawford's shots. Especially after the Ugas fight.

    Plus foot movement & the thing i mentioned the most which was speed, now many are seeing the picture even when prior comparing both you could see the discrepancies.
