Weird question!

Body building muscles are not smooth and quick. Like Rocky was told early on in his career, weightlifting can ruin a guy like you for boxing. Power comes from technique. Not bulging slow no snap muscles. Bunched up muscles lose flexibility. I always thought Mancini destroyed his career by becoming musclebound & losing his snap.

 

I love seeing guys like Liston, Foreman, Marciano, Bonavena, etc.,...destroy those "body beautiful" types. Both Liston-Williams and Foreman-Norton bouts are beautiful to behold!

 

I have no idea why, I imagine it's a mix of genetics and chin/physique having no correlation at all. However, Emile Griffith is a guy who clearly bucks that trend. ATG chin and as chiseled as they come.

 

One thing is musculature and another thing is frame (bone structure). Foreman, marciano,chuvalo were big boned guys , so they were solid like rocks

 

Hagler too.

 

McClellan had a good chin, he weight drained 20lbs of water weight, which meant his brain had less water to protect it. This is likely why he got a brainclot. Benn had a good chin when he tooked it.

Chin is partly about defense, tooking it down into your chest so it has less scope to move. It's also about neck length and neck strength. The shorter the neck the better. The stronger the neck the more impact it can absorb. This is why Tyson did tons of neck bridging exercises.

 

Weird question, but three of these listed did not have that much power in HW, two of them took Floyd Patterson the distance while the other on your list needed two rounds alltogether in two fights!
Weird question 2nd, did you miss the most stocky HW of them all, Mike Tyson? Why? Who had in fact a solid chin and hell of power??

 

Tyson was packed of muscle, he was not any bigger than Frazier. Chuvalo was barelly taller than Tyson and he weighed the same but he was not inflated like a ball. Chuvalo had more solid frame than Tyson,

 

Chin is also mixed with heart. That's the main difference between a dude that has a good chin and a great chin, one has more heart. Even if you just have a decent chin, if you have tons of heart you will be able to take, or at least get up from, most any punch.

 

Tyson had a solid chin stop trolling

 

What the hell are you talking about, check my comments about Tyson and hardly i could be called tyson fan. Simply i am fair and you are a tyson hater with zero credibility when you comment about him
