Great thread

I believe neck width, skeletal muscle strength/size and bone desnsity are all major factors in punch resistance

But there are always anomalies like huge men with glass jaws and skinny men with iron ones

 

Bob sapp

 

I should have stated generally these are factors but there are always anomalies like sapp

 

Carl froch

 

I don't like froch but he had a good chin check my first post I altered it accordingly

 

Not taking the ****.chin is bizarre.u get the likes of shavers even kirkland as a prime example,look like they can take a hammer to the head but fold,then u get a skinny fcker who can.it cant be trained no matter how big u r

 

Difference between chinny and can be knocked down aswell.at the end of the day,if your hammered on the button your going down,but u see fighters get hit with the force of a bus in the head then jump up.all had it.holmes shavers etc.
Then you get the likes of malik scot vs wilder

 

Lennox lewis got labelled chinny.he got banged on the button twice by 2 hw contenders who trained their whole life to punch.both times bang on the button,both times he did well to keep conciousness and get up,yet the label stuck.watch the bombs he did take and walk thru.
A punch your not braced for or dont see coming is taking you out end of

 

Yeah, people generally have terrible chins, kangaroos on the other hand have iron mandibles:
