Or are you stuck with whatever grade of glass/granite you have? Amir King Khan has been hit with a fair few bombs since the Garcia fight and walked through them. Is this a chin becoming toughened before our very eyes? Does such a thing exist?
Putting on weight helps a LITTLE bit, not being drained appears to have an effect on chin as your entire body is weakened. As the saying goes, you can't train chin.... Things like surviving while hurt can improve with experience, but other than that not really.
It can improve to a certain degree yes. Look at David Tua, dropped in the amateurs, never stopped in pro's.
Ward has a great chin. Not like Kovalev who got knocked down by a pillow puncher and KO'd with head gear.
Not too much, to some degree I became a better boxer after I had first got tagged hard because after I had got hit hard I came back with a "plan" on how to try to react "if" and when I did get hit the next time. Thus it might have looked like my chin got better as I kept boxing but I think my chin was always the same but my game plan of trying to remain "calmer" and make safety first decisions right after I got tagged was the only part of how my chin ever got "better" Of course after I got knocked out a few times it started getting worse.
Well.... He was still basically a kid not fully grown into his frame, and it wasn't just anyone that did it... It was Felix ****ing Savon.
If you strengthen your neck muscles it helps some.Bit once Ur chin starts to go there isn't anything u can do about it
I think having a sturdy base certainly helps. You don't tend to see fighters with stocky legs getting bowled over like some of their top heavy, chicken legged contemporaries.
