Great chin or Great Defence

[MOREBASS]

Weak chin, average, below average, decent, pretty good chin... whatever! I'd take a granite chin any day, then work on defense. No point in arguing about minor details that don't even matter. Think Margarito-Cotto. If Marg had anything less than a great chin, he would have lost because he got hit all night. His chin allowed him to walk through Cotto and break him down gradually. Most fighters with lesser chins would have been knocked out.

I see the point you're trying to make.


In that sense I agree. But you know, my idea of it is just, sure a guy with a granite chin will be able to weather the storm, but a chin only protects you from getting KO'd...while great defense can prevent a loss by KO and protect you from getting beaten on points.

Sure, with a great chin, you'd be able to withstand bombs, but unless you plan to overwhelm every one of your opponents, you'd probably end up getting outpointed a lot, with a leaky defense.

Just my outlook on it.

Though, I see the point people are making about chin being an intangible.

great chin even the best defence can get cracked once in a while so ill rather have the chin to weather the storm

Defense because even if I can take a punch doesn't mean my brain won't later.
