Chin talk - has anyone ever gone from glass chin to iron chin?

Chins can depend on weight and health,

I always thought Nigel Benn was a bit chinny at middle , but the move to super made his whiskers more solid.

Unfortunately, he's back to being glass now. :yep:hey

 

i remember watching early De la Hoya fights, they were saying he has a suspect chin...

 

that tends to happen with 5 11 super feathers

 

i was going to add that to my post.

With Manny Pac he went from a kid being slightly weight drained to now a worn out fighter, his chin isnt granite anymore, but still solid.

 

sone people can take better shots, just flat out some can take it an some cant.
but everybody has the ability to make themselves be able to absorb shots better.

when a fighter (anyone) is at or even above their natural weight while being in peak (trained) physical and yes mental condition they can take better shots than when in less than peak condition.

but you cant take someone who cannot absorb shots to all the sudden he can take many shots.. you are born with or without it but it is something every individual can inprove their own

 

Guillermo jones was knocked out cold by a guy who was supposed to be a tune up for him and had barely any knockouts. The 'chin checkers' would have been on here screaming glass chin, but as we saw in the lebedev fight he has an unbelievably good chin.

 

Thats the point , that was at light middle I think??

Now he takes full blown shots against top cruisers.

 

Yeah it was at light middleweight, just goes to show that every one is human and the right shot can put anybodys lights out, no matter how good your chin is.

 

yea takeing big shots from morales barrera,cotto.mosley,margo,clottey, yea glass chin:rofl

 

it also shows the difference in being drained and being in shape at a better normal weight.
being drained is the #1 reason fighters (that otherwise had been shown or in the future show they can take clean shots) get knocked out when fighting in too low of a weight class..

fighting in elite shape at your normal weight class drastically improves every chin

 

also a feather weight with a glass chin doesn't go up to light middleweight
