Can a chin improve

Weight draining can have a big effect I guess, just a question for any boxers out there, when you shed the water content down do you suffer bad headaches and sickness? (I would think it's like a bad hangover.) Also lack of food can cause mood problems.

 

I think it can to a degree, but Amir Khan (this seems to be the theme here) isn't going to emulate an Oscar De La Hoya type and get better through his career.

 

The shot that KO'd khan vs prescott would have KO'd a lightweight De La Hoya. But he wouldn't have been hit with it because his defence was too good. Khans chin problem is a little over-rated its more his D but he's fixed that now by fighting like Vlad.

 

I still think his ego will cause him a problem or two in tougher fights - against guys that aren't made for him.

It will still be his tendency to want to bang his way out of trouble...... that's why I think they will swerve Maidana.

 

Simple factors have to be taken into account if a chin can be improved moving up in weight.

Frame Size
Height
Age

Taking these factors into account the trainer should know what weight is best for the fighter based on these factors and how the fighter is making weight for a fight. Some fighters train harder than others which means its hard to point out if they are having trouble making weight or their diet pattern is not right not eating right near weigh in is always a sign things are not right. Staying hydrated is the key, water levels in the body and brain must be at the right levels.

 

Another thing is that Oscar wouldn't have been wobbled by the eariler, lighter shots that set up the big KO for Presscott.

 

Can anybody explain how Margarito has such a great chin?I mean he must be really draining himself looking at the size of him.Bit of an anomalie

 

Not really there's been quite a few tall guys with good beards. Mind you knowing margarito he probably loads the opponents gloves as well the cheating ****. **** him.

 

My point Jeff, is that it is not a certainty that the move up in weight improves a chin, it is probably the improvement in strength and stamina that makes the difference. Nice attempt at sacrcasm though.

 

Drilzane was 140.... that was a light welter fight.

 

nice one copying me.... check the first page, jerk

 

Thanks, I try my best..... but what is a chin? Its punch resistance (chin is just a word for it- remember)!! Is it an anatomical weakness or is it lack of fluid around the brain, or is it the ability to sustain a workrate longer? Or Is it the ability to uptake oxygen sufficiently to prevent confusion? Its a whole host of things including strength and stamina- and your correct a chin doesn't suddenly grow an armour plated skin shield as you increase in weight- but who said it did?

 

One problem. The Drilzane knockdown was a slip. Perhaps his boots will become less slippy as he moves up in weight.

 

jesus christ calm down "jerk" (nice insult by the way, im terribly offended) oh and Jeff it wasnt a slip, look at his legs when he gets back to his feet and tries to ambush Drilzane.

 

Skull structure, I have a very thick skull and jaw and I always had huge punch resistance. I once fell when I was about 8 years old, smashed my head off the concrete, and was perfectly fine, I was surprised myself I wasn't dead, you should have seen my friends faces.
