Generally the taller you are the larger your head so does that mean giant fighters have better chins ?
compare their lose records with KO’s compared to boxers shorter ?
but some are iron
I remember manny being wobbled but never buckled
when he did get ko’d it was because he launched himself full force into what would be that counter overhand right
I don't think body type plays a part -
Price is 6'9'' :lol1:
Qawi 5'7'' :boxing:

Size of head and chin shape help.
AJ for instance has a narrowish head and a recessed chin which equals no punch resistance
Big heads and big caveman jaws tend to help.most fascinating are the guys who have long faces but are iron chin heroes anyways
Sugar Ray Robinson
Floyd
Bivol
Valuev had a good chin. Fury had a good chin
I think fury's chin weakened a bit after the wars with wilder
Zhang is one of the Ogre family along with Fury and Value, only been down to the body
vitali had an iron jaw
foreman in his second career had an amazing jaw when his first he was dropped and stopped. holyfield and morrison beat the crap out of him and he never even looked at risk of going down

Mitu only ever fought twice, Rankin fought only once, Ewart is 11-2-1, Cully is 3-3 (ko'd 3 times), Payne is 3-2 (ko'd twice), Long is 18-28 (ko'd 11 times), Dong is 6-0, Brown is 33-18 (ko'd 13 times), Anderson is 2-0, Fury's been knocked down 8 times in his career, and its not fair to include Valuev because I think he's the missing link between neanderthal and humans.
Google says there's only 3 boxers 6'9'' and above.
Gogea Mitu: The tallest boxer ever, standing at 7'4" (2.24 meters).
Nikolai Valuev: A very tall heavyweight boxer, standing at 7'0" (2.13 meters).
Tyson Fury: A current heavyweight boxer, often mentioned as being 6'9
