    Dude there are no chin muscles and what the hell i know. With 30 kg alot of mass will be distributed all over you whole body. Just get along with time and try to get of your nostalgic bs.

    the muscles that support the chin, how much do they gain in mass? 50g? 100g would be generous.

    You dont know what supports the chin, thats fine, so lets go with these figures, can you can surmise that this amount added to it (a tiny proportion of 30kgs) will support the chin significantly more when hit with a 700 lb force?

    so you think it'd be more?

    ok make it 200g. Significant difference to a 700lb punch to the chin, yes or no?

    or OK make it 500g. We are really pushing for the most PEDtastic boxer ever here who can concentrate half a kilo of extra muscle to their neck. Significant to a 700lb punch?

    you can surmise that it would at the very least help a wee bit rather than vice versa,,,

    in boxing many times you only need a wee bit to be successful,,,

    however, you wouldn't really know about that because you never been in the ring as we all here at ESB are well aware of when it comes to you correct Herol??

    you don't know your ass from your face Herol.

    Now get outta here before I spank you in front of dino again.

    I know it's ****ing ******ed. Apparently a 90 pound boy can have the same chin as a 300 pound man. Pure madness.

    David Tua had great legs. Its easier to absorb force with a strong (thus big) bottom.

    Also a big legged boxer wouldnt bounce arround as much - he will save his energy.

    But when he absorb a powerful punch he would most likely stand wide and low. Which in turn also indirect increases the absorbing of the force coming in.

    Both feet planted to the ground. Chin down etc. its better than bouncing around while getting tagged on your toes.

    Common knowledge.

    But the rules doesnt matter in historical H2H cases.

    Remember people in the classic section kept saying weight doesn't matter, skill is everything. Then I asked them if that was true then how does prime ODLH do vs. prime Mike Tyson. Both are approximately same height/reach. Prime ODLH has way superior skill, Mike has 45 lbs on him :lol: We all know how this fight would go.

    The classic clowns live in this bubble that a) weight means nothing, skill is everything b) fighters from 100 years ago are equally skilled to modern day fighters. Two massive fallacies that lead to these idiotic misconceptions how Joe Louis would be competitive vs. Lennox Lewis.
