    'Tete a tete' was probably the wrong phrase - meaning 'conversation'

    :lol: Never heard of Flint Island :lol:

    Unless you have changed.........

    Margarito's chin is nowhere near the best ever,it has never been tested by an ATG puncher.It is a very good one but it will not go down in historyas one of the best ever.

    disagree. if your suggesting that he hasn't been tested by an atg puncher, then how can you judge his chin? so far he taken pretty much every punch thrown at him. You can only judge him from what he has faced and taken so far. I think he has the potential to have an all time great chin..it just solely depends on who he faces from now on. If that means that he don't fight a atg puncher then margo cannot be blamed for that. He can only go down as a fighter who potentially had one of the best chins ever.

    hes taken punches...butnot from any real bombers...thats the point.....
    if his chin hasnt been tested by someone with a high kO % then you cannot throw the words "best ever" around like that....:deal

    Best chin ever? You must be sincerely joking.

    I believe Clottey's chin may be better than Margo's

    It's hard to say,just cuz Gatti was KDed don't mean anything when he got up.Margarito has never been hit flush many times in consecutive blows that often.Maybe Cotto hit him that often

    I would possibly add Librado Andrade as a 5th man in there...

    Definitely deserves a mention. The shots he took against Kessler and even Bute all night long... was something to see.

    Is this some kind of a joke? He was KOed by an old Shane Mosley.

    I think Clottey's chin is about the same.


    He just also has terrific defense along with it.
