Is having a good Chin about mentality or physique?

Plenty of mentally strong fighters did not have great china. Being capable of shrugging off clean shots 95% physical

 

Very true. I'd bet there is some average joes with a Joe Joyce level chin who would get sparked out by Hughie Fury because they don't know how to brace for a punch.

 

It's both, when I was hurt I needed toughness to get through the pain , but punches that stunned me didn't hurt at all , it just felt like I lost power with the plug being pulled. Being relaxed in the ring and not being tense is another thing that really helps in taking punches, a skill I never mastered .Always admired guys who were cool under fire

 

There’s a certain point where it’s all genetics. If you’re at a championship level I’m sure everyone has the confidence to take a shot, then it just comes down to whether their body’s can handle it.

 

Take a punch is about how good your chin physically but too keep taking the punches and getting up is about how mentally strong you are and are willing to take

 

The neck plays a massive part.
