Peoples thoughts on improving glass chins

[Pugilistic™]

Ah ofcourse, sorry but it does show that Hopkins being dropped twice by a light puncher in Mercado who lost 10 fights is a drastic improvement from the Hopkins that can't be stopped.

oh yeah for sure.

Conditioning ie. being used to fighting heavy punchers.
Fighting at your correct weight.
Having a top class defence. (recent example: look at Juan Diaz, he hardly got tagged at all against Katsidis the other night)

I have never boxed, so this is purely speculation, but I was wondering if simple age does not play a part? I am pretty certain that 27 year old me is bigger, stronger and could take a harder punch than 21 year old me, its the difference I suppose between being a man and a boy.

Part of being able to take a good shot is also psychological.

That is exactly what I was looking for silencers more than anything else. I can't think of any instances off hand and will have to do some digging but am pretty sure hypnotherapy has been used to improve a chin slightly.

I haven't heard of that actually happening apart from Collins using it as a ploy against Eubank before their first fight, I wonder if it's possible.

If you have a glass chin i cant see it becomming a good chin. I remember watching Cus or Rooney say they took alot of time working on the neck as the believed it helped punch resistance.

That was the other thing I was thinking as well. Nicely pointed out.

Makes sence. If you have a tree for a neck then its gonna help!!

I don't see any cure for a glass chin.
