    Is it true that a long neck gives you a disadvantage.

    I myself have an unusually long neck which is significantly longer than everybody.

    I find it difficult to cover up ( if i cover up my face , my body is open, vice versa

    ), which causes many holes in my defense. It also feels really weird to cover up.

    An advantage i can think of is that maybe i am capable to moving my head out of range better?

    I'm not sure

    Can someone enlighten me?

    a shorter neck helps to absorb the punch better, so there is truth in that.

    I don't think there's any real evidence that fighters with long necks get knocked out easier, it just seems like it would be true.
