How do you rate Pacquiao's chin since Lehlo Ledwaba in 2001?

    When he landed after being caught while in the air. You try taking a punch without a foundation. He gathered himself fine after that, he was hardly staggered or badly hurt. I'd say his chin is just about iron.

    Marquez has no power, NONE. He has NEVER been a 1 punch knock out fighter.

    And yes, I could easily see a young hard hitter like lucas mattyse putting pacman in a stretcher

    anyone who gets tagged with that punch while off-balanced will surely get his ass on the canvas, face first.

    Pacquiao has ATG cheenz baby.

    He should never have put himself in a position to be off balance in the first place.:thumbsup

    That is a FLAW in his fight game then.

    He can't exactly walk straight through punches like say someone like Rios, big punches/counter punches do push him back/deter him (due to size diff/str/balance). He still takes shots extremely well. I do remember a punch from MAB really hurting him, think it was during a break or something but he recovered in next to no time from that punch.

    Great chin and recovery time IMO

    Only people who will disagree that his chin is iron are the likes of Thatman who thinks Floyd's chin is better than Margarito's. :patsch :rofl :rofl :rofl

    Thatman: Floyd has never been knocked down, it doesn't matter is he rarely gets hit or if he got flash kd by Zab or obviously buckled by Mosley, his chin is better than Pac's who took bomb after bomb from Mosley without even flinching.

    The rest of the world: :rofl :rofl :rofl

    Pacquiao did take some punches from Bigger Fighters like Margarito, Cotto, Clottey & Mosley.

    Margarito is like an Upgraded Rios.

    I'm not saying he can't take the punch, I'm saying he gets pushed back cos he is smaller than some of his opponents amongst other things. Like say two boxers with equal chin takes a punch, one of them takes the punch and doesn't budge, the other one takes the same said punch and stumbles back a step but neither of them were badly hurt by that same punch.

    I'm pretty sure if Floyd got cocky and toyed with JMM and JMM caught Floyd like that when they fought, Floyd will be on a stretcher.:rofl

    Can't say the same for Pac tho.

    Pacquiao had sore ribs against Margarito from what i can remember though,
    The 6th Round, Margarito got Pacquiao with a good Body shot.

    That wasn't just a good body shot, that was a like Pac exposing his ribs for Margarito to pound on while he does nothing. Blindfolded. It was a gift of a shot. Almost one in a million.

    Remember Pac was supposed to counter and turn Margo but the ropes (Top Rank :rofl) caught his hand.
    It was almost similar to Ortiz taking those two shots from FMJ.

    Also those were 2 liver shots.
