    Dose the size of your head contribute to having a great chin? Or is there fighters with huge domes and glass chins?

    Thank you for raising this important question. As someone who has been studying fragile mandibles for years, there does not appear to be any clear causal relationship between head size and mandibular fragility. I don't know of any detailed statistical analysis of this, but based on anecdotal evidence, I would suggest that the relationship is problem the converse; that is to say that larger head size may help enhance punch resistance.

    On the other hand, Primo Carnera had a pretty big head, so who knows?

    Neck strength, jaw set, weight cut, awareness of punches coming, etc.

    There are too many confounding variables involved.
