How can you train a boxer in order to increase his chin?

[boxingfan1986]

maybe strengthening the legs, so your legs dont give way every single time you get hit

neck exercises could help

[SplitSecond]

and strength also, very important for taking a punch along with conditioning and making sure you're running on all cylinders and warmed up

Hello,

Can you train a boxer in order to increase his chin (the ability to absorb punishment while remaining able to continue boxing)?

And if the answer is yes, how can it be done?

Or is chin just a natural quality that can't be earned?

Thanks a lot.

Build the neck and build the legs than work on defense

Hello,
The best person to ask is JMM. In the first fight with Pac he went down nearly every time pac landed. In the fourth fight, Pac could hardly put him down no matter what Pac did. JMM could even not run and even sit down on his punches to try ko Pac, without fear of Pac knocking him down?

So why didn't JMM just do that in the first fight as well? Because he would have been stopped in the first fight if he had of tried that, yet he could do it in the fourth fight?

Train your neck !! Traps are key ! Ever see floyd using the neck weights! You want your neck strong to absorb bigger punches

Its not about "chin", its about how much damage was and or can be sustained by the brain. With Boxers, it is a gradual, cumulative effect because the damage occurs more frequently. Over time and as a consequence, the resistance is diminished to such a degree, that even light punches will ring that bell.

So, to answer the OP question: No, there aren't any recuperatory measures that can be taken to increase punch resistance -- Once the damage is there, it remains.

Studies have been conducted in the NFL revolving around concussions and the conclusion is that once significant damage has been sustained, the player should either be retired or extraordinary measures should be taken to safeguard the player.

Boxing as an organization, and as fate would have it, never even conducted high-level studies on the long-term damage involved with the sport. Even though boxers incur much more brain damage than in other athletic professions.

"Chin" = do neck strengthening exercises.
