    Margo was a machine tonight. He wouldn't even flinch from big bombs flush on the chin. He wouldn't even stop moving forward. He could have thrown zero punches in the fight and his chin alone would have broken Cotto's will lol.

    Simply because he's taking the shots from men twenty odd pounds heavier, I'll say Andrade. Plus he still marks less than Margarito. The man's face is genetically engineered to take punches.

    Good call, I'm watching Andrade-Kessler right now because I was asking the same question myself.

    Yes, Margarito showed he has a really good chin, but Andrade's chin is just not human and his skin apparently is granite-kevlar or something.

    Margo wore a leather hide tonight i thought.

    After 5 or 6 rounds i remember looking and thinking, how the **** is Cottos face looking far worse than Margo's when he has barely been landed cleanly on yet, and Cotto has landed numerous flush bombs on Marg.

    Tonight it looked like Cotto could've hit Margo with a ****ing sledgehammer and it still wouldn't have kept Tony from coming forward. Margo's chin alone was something to marvel at tonight.

    It is outragous. Both guys. Is there some strain of Mexican genes that is responsible for this? Jesus. Not only don't they cut, they don't even react to what would normally be KO shots.

    I'd say it's a blend of favorable genes and living with an acute understanding that there are things in life harder than taking a punch. Either way, watching guys like this eat shots and come back for second and thirds is just incredible.
