We study the scattering of magnon boundstates in the spin-chain descriptionof planar N=4 SUSY Yang-Mills. Starting from the conjectured exact S-matrix formagnons in the SU(2) sector, we calculate the corresponding S-matrix forboundstates with an arbitrary number of constituent magnons. The resultingexpression has an interesting analytic structure with both simple and doublepoles. We also calculate the semiclassical S-matrix for the scattering of thecorresponding excitations on the string worldsheet known as Dyonic GiantMagnons. We find precise agreement with the magnon boundstate S-matrix in thelimit of large 't Hooft coupling.Comment: 14 page
