    Do Boxers over 6’9 have better chins than Boxer shorter ?

    Generally the taller you are the larger your head so does that mean giant fighters have better chins ?
    compare their lose records with KO’s compared to boxers shorter ?

      Too few fighters over 6'9" who were any good to gather data.

          Your opponent needing a step ladder to reach your chin has to be some sort of advantage.

            Standing at 7'4''
            Gogea Mitu and John Rankin

            Standing at 7'2''
            Ewart Potgieter, Jim Cully, Tom Payne

            Standing at 7'1''
            Julius Long

            At 7 foot
            Nikolai Valuev, Taishan Dong, Marcellus Brown, Gil Anderson

            At 6'9''
            Tyson Fury

            ​Mitu only ever fought twice, Rankin fought only once, Ewart is 11-2-1, Cully is 3-3 (ko'd 3 times), Payne is 3-2 (ko'd twice), Long is 18-28 (ko'd 11 times), Dong is 6-0, Brown is 33-18 (ko'd 13 times), Anderson is 2-0, Fury's been knocked down 8 times in his career, and its not fair to include Valuev because I think he's the missing link between neanderthal and humans.​

              It’s not just size of head but shape (wide and plus a short thick neck

                Size of head and chin shape help.

                AJ for instance has a narrowish head and a recessed chin which equals no punch resistance

                Big heads and big caveman jaws tend to help.

                  Valuev had a good chin. Fury had a good chin

                  I think fury's chin weakened a bit after the wars with wilder

                    vitali had an iron jaw

                    foreman in his second career had an amazing jaw when his first he was dropped and stopped. holyfield and morrison beat the crap out of him and he never even looked at risk of going down
