    I think he does. He's never been knocked down and ate bombs like it was nothing. Huge head snapping punches from Cotto had absolutely no effect on him whatsoever. He didn't even need to block most shots; he just took them straight on. Shane Mosley left his feet and threw a right hand that badly rocked Floyd Mayweather to his core. The man literally left his feet and still had Mayweather holding on for dear life. Margarito was taking 2-3 consecutive full torque punches from Mosley and straight eating them all night long before the ref stopped it. Mosley never got him down. Even though Pac was a small man he still had pretty good speed-power at that weight and Margarito just ate it all night long.

    He was my favourite boxer til plastergate... Like him or not... He dis probably have one of the best chins in wleter history... When you consider the amount of digs he took... He wasn't even trying to avoid them... Head was made out of concrete.... He was definitely dropped though befire the mosley fight maybe 3 or 4 times... Hard to remember who by... Off top of my head... Daniel Santos and some bloke called diaz

    And mosley dropped him twice

    Perez also knocked him down twice badly, but overall he did have a good chin for a human punching bag

    He knew exactly what was going on. I never saw anybody just load up a shot on Margarito and deck him. Mosley launched an avalanche of punches flush.

    Manny Pacquiao.

    Pac was a lightweight campaigning at welterweight for over a decade. How many of the current lightweights (who are all bigger on fight night save for Lomachenko) can survive the same flush punches from the likes of Cotto, Thurman, Bradley, Ugas, Horn, Matthysse, Rios, Vargas, Roidquez (KD punch in round 3), Ugas, and Clottey? Or shots from the 165 pound Margarito?

    Margarito ate like 200 flush EPO nukes from Shane before finally going down and even then he was smiling and not wincing in pain on his back.

    Provodnikov was the first to come to mind. Starling also had a good mandible.

    Margarito was definitely hurt, but he ate like 200 Sugar Shane EPO Nukes before going down. And he wasn't on his back being tended to by his team and medics and being helped up slowly. He was speaking after and looked exhausted more than hurt. THAT is why his chin is near or at the top of best chins in 147 history. That would be like Golovkin eating 12 rounds of flush haymakers from Clenelo and still standing.
