Good Chin: Something Physical or Mental?

[ButlerBoxing]

After the Hagler-Hearns fight, Hearns ased Hagler how he took his right hands. How did he manage to stay up. Hagler replied that he didn't want to go down. There was no way he was going to go down. (this is paraphrased btw)

thats classic boxer talk. of course he didnt want to go down, what boxer does. he had a good chin thats why he never went down

Yep your right there Ricky

I'm not ricky... User ricky is from the uk I believe, I'm from America... Nice trying to say I'm an alt, I don't have any alts

Sure Tito has been down several times but very very rarely actually hurt. Trinidad's balance was never very good and I believe that is what caused him to be dropped so regularly. Even in his stoppage loss to Hopkins it was more just an accumulation of punches that got to him. Tito has a very very good chin IMO.

Agreed

He struggled to make WW for quite a while too and he was really a LMW in my eyes. Trinidad has one of those chins he can be knocked down, but he is hard to knock out a bit like Marquez.

He didn't refuse against douglas, lewis, williams, and mcbride

He got up against Douglas. He would have made the count if he had not picked up his mouth guard. The other 3 fights he did not give up but he couldn't he was spent.

in all honesty mate u need a ggod cinn to take a shot, however it depends on whether u have the heart or not... if you have both then good on you... respect...

i'd say 80% physical 20%mental


if you get rocked and your tired, it doesn't matter how bad you want to go on.

Case in point Judah-Kostya

Having a good chin is definitely a gift. So I would have to say it's physical.
