Are Boxers Iron Chins Really Made Of Iron Or Is It All An Illusion?

KO rates of opponents are a good way to look at how coddled or not coddled a fighter is. For example look at the KO rates of Amir Khan's opponents at the time that he fought them. It is embarrassingly low. There was a reason for that.

Something else that bothers me is when a Glass Jaw is exposed is someone saying "Well he doesn't have good Defense that is why he was KOed it isn't his Chin"

lets look at that statement for a second shall we? First, the Chin IS the second line of defense for a fighter. Even if a fighter has awful Defense it won't matter if he has a good Chin. So 'Defense' has squat to do with a fighter being able to take a punch or not it is the Chin that matters. Second, even Willie Pep got punched in the face I don't care how slick or good you are defensively you WILL get hit on the Chin and you will either be able to take it or crumble. The Chin is THE most important attribute for a prize fighter to have. Period.

 

Bradley's chin isn't iron his will is. Kendall Holt briefly detached Bradley's body from his soul in their fight with a left hook. No idea how Bradley continued and dominated after that other than the fact that his will to win is insane.

 

I think it's biology. Hit the head right and the brain takes impact, and disconnects from the stem electrically. Doesn't matter who it is. It's not like you can control that. What a boxer can control is how they take that impact, except when they can't see it coming, for ex. like recently with KO6.

 

how do you get a pinched nerve I asked you before and you didn't respond stop ducking me son.

 

yeah my back is annoying me that's why I asked.it seems like it doesn't take much to mess up your back.
