you do know they are all bald headed, correct?
Im not necessarily saying that their styles dont lead to headbutts a little bit above average, but headbutts do happen much easier if you dont have a head of hair, especially around the eye area.Comment

You mean cuts happen more often from headbutts, Frank Chao doesn't believe hair or lack of hair will cause more headbutts.Comment

its plain obvious you know nothing about boxing. but i will explain anyway
Timm Hopkins Ward even Holyfield do not headbutt on purpose
its a matter of styles and their boxing stance. at one point in boxing
i lead with my head past my lead foot which means my head would get to
the target right behind a punch. and when moving fullspeed and if the opponent
is in the right place and right time theres a butt take place. now the person leading dont get hurt to much because he leads with his forehead while the opponent isnt so its forhead against eye or chin and thats a nono. the forehead is prob the strongest part of your body.
andre ward hopkins uses a tactic that i also use. when you have someone cornered you use your head as an extra arm. its not a head butt but they occur because the opponent is moving as well. but you use your head to kind of hold the guy in place keep yourself out of any punching power range unless he can generate power with room an inch from his body. and you just work your punches while he worry about your head or getting out that situation.
these are rough tactics and dangerous if you dont use them right. but bradley dont do it on purpose. its jsut he leads with his head after his punches and keeps going forward. and when you have your chin tucked it turns into a battering ram.
cotto leads with his head but was never moving forward at a fast pace and always lead with a jab so he didnt really headbutt anyone but was always there for uppercut.
its just a matter of styles stances and tactics. but noone headbutts on purpose because believe me the **** hurts more than any punch landed.Comment
