    That's what I believe too. But I never understood why no one ever talked about this quality he has.

    :deal The same pacquiao who destroyed hatton in 2. I re-watched the oscar-pac fight and was amazed at the amount of sustained punishment oscar took to the head in those final two round. At one point in the final round pacquiao landed a pin point 4 punch combo on oscars head (although he did look like he was not going to last much longer after that). Maybe mosley at 147 could take those shots, but oscar was also weight drained and well past his prime. He has a titanic chin.

    Because the 'chin checkers' wont attribute the word great chin with someone who dressed as a woman. :D.

    Great chin especially at 147 and up where he faced solid punchers like Trinidad, Quartey, Mayorga, and Vargas.

    Those pictures looked shopped to me, not that I should dignify their mention by commenting on it but regardless Oscar had an ATG chin.

    Yeah Oscar withstood hella punishment from Pac without going down. His face looked terrible and Weeks could have stopped the fight but Oscar took a shitload of clean shots to the chin.

    I was convinced Oscar had a great beard after seeing him take some solid shots in the Trinidad fight, shots that would drop most. I think even Oscar haters can agree he has an above average chin.

    I didn't see Trinidad land many punches, let alone meaninful ones, in their fight.
