A theory on how to improve your chin!!!

[Enayze]

Don't dismiss right away, and think about it.

What you should do is find some hard gum, or special rubber and chew it for select hours a day. The harder the object to chew the stronger your jaw will become. Movement from inside your mouth against tough objects will strengthen it.

A theory that I liked to share.

Actually thats probably the biggest misconception...many believe that its the chin itself, but its more the neck than anything, Fighters are usually knocked out not becuz of the impact on the chin, but the force in which the head is jerked causing temporary unconsciousness or loss of equilibrium...its all about keeping the chin down and having strong neck control, like Mercer.

mercer got short neck but iron chin, he took a lot of good shoot from lennox.

Yeah, I think it's just more so the equilibrium being stirred up more than anything. No matter how big your neck is. Just look at Gatti, his neck is huge(for his weight class), and a punch easily rocks him. I don't think it has to do with the chin or the neck at all really. Chin is just an easy way of explaining it to the simple boxing buffs I guess. Ewww he has a granite chin! Ewww, a glass chin, he can't take a punch! Simple as that.

What I was saying about having a strong neck is basically being able to prevent the head from rapid jerks, not necessarily just having a big neck.

no its the neck beacuse when head is jerked it causing temporary unconsciousnessor maybe its 50% chin and 50% heart, you cant only got a good chin you need heart too.

this make sence,i think you notice this when you watch fights, do you know who got the strongest neck?, or you think got the strongest. ali got a great chin but did he got a strong neck?

Actually Ali may have been the epitome of what i'm talking about when i say it takes a strong neck and head control...Notice how he was able to take Frazier, Shavers, Quarry and Foreman's punches and still be able to tell them how soft they punch afterwards...simply becuz he prevented his head from jerking around most of the time, with the exception of that one Frazier hook which visibly proved my theory that it isnt the chin alone becuz Ali's eyes rolled back.........right now though i'd say examples of this neck/head control is Ray Mercer and James Toney, people wonder y they were never visibly hurt ever in pro fights, i believe its becuz they simply dont let their head bounce around.
