How to have a VERY STRONG CHIN?

[Toney Loc]

Most of it is mental. If you can mentally get over the physical pain of a punch then you just have to be lucky. Some people just have horrible chins, whether they have heart or not. You cant help your legs going wobbly and you equilibrium going off.

Tommy Hearns fits that description.

yea i think it has to do with heart the most...its the heart that pushes you thru a beating like that

u need alotta heart basically but who knows maybe some people are born with it

Yep. Guys like Margarito are just lucky that's all there is to it.

Sumthin a fighter is born wit for the most part. But goin thru some thangs makes a man mentally tougher, thus it can make his chin stronger.

Eat a ****. The more ****s you eat the stronger your chin will get.

True story.

are you talking from experience? :*******:

Stamina has a lot to do with someone's ability to take a punch, you can take punches a lot easier when you're not tired opposed to when you are. Margarito and a lot of others train like animals.

Genetics and determination have something to do with it too.

[MikeT86]

There's a difference between Heart and Chin. You can will through pain, it's hard to will through being unconcious. You get knocked down and out you might have every desire to get up and fight but not not able to.
Having a strong neck helps but a good deal of it is genetic.

[MOREBASS]

As far as being able to withstand a punch, neck strength definitely plays a role, as it absorbs a lot of the impact when you take a shot to the head.


I honestly don't think its something that can be taught, you rarely ever see fighters 'develop' a knack for taking a punch.

And as mentioned, a better conditioned fighter will always be able to endure more punishment, because fatigue can hinder your ability to take a punch, as well as react fast enough to not get hit cleanly.

Though you can definitely improve on your ways of not taking them as cleanly and getting out of the way of them.

go ask baldomir and margo...

Baldomir and who? I think the Shane Mosley is solely responsible for the destruction of the "Margarito has the best chin out there" talk. In fact, he is responsible for the destruction of Margarito the fighter - in the ring and in the boxing fans' estimation

Margs still showed a hell of a chin and took his beating like a G. Mosley could have killed alot of people that night.
