Do you think having a beard in boxing helps with punch resistance at all

[SoldierWarrior]

I personally think it does, I punched myself when I have a slim beard and I feel less pain then I do when I shave off my slim-beard. Now, when I have no beard I feel more pain when taking a punch.

Some Sanctioning Bodies have rules on how long or thick a beard can be because it can help cushion a blow.

I don't think it's true. Otherwise we'd see Khan with a beard like this:



Yes, Ariza has pills to make hair grow like that too!

I don't think my beard is all that thick, My bead is a chinstrap type beard with a goatee. Well it was, but I decided to shave it off today since its going to be sunny tomorrow and I'm going to jog and try to get some sun.

Fighters with steel balls don't even need trunks.

Grow some more whisker then ask the klitch bros to punch one after the other and see if this little theory of yours is significant.
