    An observation about granite chins.....

    There are guys like Ali who took the best shots flush from guys like Shavers, Foreman, Smokin Joe, Ken Norton, Liston, etc etc etc all night, didnt get KOed, yet some no name with very little power compared to these monsters knocked Ali silly.

    The same goes for another granite jawed bloke in Tex Cobb took Earnie Shavers best shots all night didnt even phase him, yet earlier in his career got knocked out by some pathetic punching noob.

    Im not sure if this happend to chugov or holyfield and other granite chins, but is it an accurate statement to say that granite jawed men still get knocked out easy if the punch lands in the right spot?

    Mind/body connection.

    You can literally be thinking about some random thing in a fight, like "oh, that girl in the front row is cute", and get caught sleeping.

      lmao!! guys who have confidence in their chins tend to get dazed/rocked by guys with seemingly less power than previous opponent probably because they ASSUME they cant punch.

      I would bet something similar to that happened to Marquez when he fought Bradley.

          Anyone can get knocked out if the punch lands in the right spot. . . sure some people have a higher resistance to others, but it's all nerves and pressure points, everybody has them.

              It only takes a few pounds of force to break someone's jaw so don't be surprised when 'featherfists' drop 'granite chinned' boxers.

                I think it's like Lennox said.

                Anyone over 200lbs can hurt anyone

                  the shot you dont see.

                  Soetimes you arent expecting a shot from lesser fighters and it catches you unawares.
