chin or skills

Skills.
Having a good chin and average skills means you take more punishment during fights but are still likely to get outboxed.
Skills win fights and if you are a good evasive boxer that can make up for your bad chin.

 

Skills obviously.

Anyone who says otherwise doesn't know what they are talking about.

It's a technical sport, therefore the fighters with the best technical skills should be the best.

Not a **** fighter like Margocheato with E- level skills but a good chin and stone hands.

 

Depends on the actual individuals in question.

A man with a weak chin, no matter how good the skills is gonna **** up at 1 point in his career, likely in 1 of his biggest fights... so that sucks.

A man with average skills & a great chin is never gonna be anything more than a 12 rd workout when facing the A+ fighters... so that sucks too.

You honestly need both to a certain degree to become a great IMO.

 

Give me the skills...i would rather not be a punching bag for my whole career

 

In fairness to Hearns the only 2 fights he lost in his Prime were because his Chin failed him. I heard Manny Steward say that once and I agree.

 

definately better to be born with a chin because skills can come with time but once a glass jaw always a glass jaw

 

there are people on here that refuse to believe that.

 

i dont kno y ppl keep mentionin hearns. there was NOTHING wrong with tommys chin. jesus if sum1 gets dropped or stopped its an automatic glass jaw to some of u guys.
