Originally posted by KeepItObjective View PostUsually the smaller something is, the weaker it is, many think that the KO of a fighter is due to the speed of the head rotating after a punch, well a larger head=heavier, stronger, more force needed to inflict the same amount of damage.
Originally posted by KeepItObjective View PostLook at the granite chinned guys... Chavez Jr (huge head), Danny Garcia big ass head, Mayweather..big head for his body size, Mosley...big ass head, Margarito, Pacquiao (before the Marquez KO shown a great chin) Froch, huge ass heads....
Meanwhile the chinny or suspect chin fighters usually have peanut heads.... Amir Khan...peanut head, Abner Maris suspect chin....peanut head. Frank Bruno = peanut head, David Price = peanut head. It's obvious man, the correlation is clear.
And what about body punch resistance?

Margarito's head is not that big, Cotto has a bigger head and a weaker chin. Bruno's head was bigger than Tyson's, guess who got KO'd?

That's another correlation for these guys that get KOd easily they over commit and get caught blind.
Froch gets shook up but he has a warriors heart and fights through the pain and has awesome powers of recovery. Mayweather's chin doesn't get tested regularly enough to say he has a great chin when he has been touched he shows great powers of recovery and ability to adjust and not get hit with the same shot. Pacquiao was knocked out brutally early in his career and TKO'd also early in his career so we cant really say Manny has a great chin either.
The guys you mention as small headed all fight with there chin up over commit and get involved in tear ups when it doesn't suit them that's why they get KO'd

Originally posted by Fighting TalkTV View PostBrunos chin wasn't that terrible he just froze up a lot when he got caught Amir Khan is kinda the same he can eat some hefty shots but his powers of recovery are almost none existent, Mares was put down by a perfect left hook and again never recovered. David price gets put down more due to balance and shots round the ear cos he is so big and lumbering and still willing to over engage and not fight on the outside.

Originally posted by KeepItObjective View PostAnd I'm saying it's a correlation and there will be fighters who don't fit the rule but I think the correlation is pretty clear
