    Do stocky fighters generaly have better chins???

    Stocky fighters seem to be sturdier in the legs and have thicker necks making them more durrable in theory..(hagler, lammota, qawi, tyson and on and on...)

    not saying that thinner taller fighers d cant have great chins cause plenty of them sure have

    but im hard pressed to thing of a good stokky fighter with a voulnerable chin

      Wayne McCullough and Arguello were thin and cruiserweight Kelvin Davis and heavyweight Cliff Couser were built like Tyson. There are no guarantees.

        Tommy Morrison came to mind immediately.

        RJJ and Lennox too.

          Generally speaking, yes. But there are exceptions to the rule.

                I'm an American....so of course the only Argentinians I know of are the ones who make it to some level of prominence. The vast majority of them seemed very difficult to hurt.
