Does having a wide neck help you take punches? Tyson and Evander had big necks

[hectari]

Tyson and Evander did wrestler neck bridges and both had wide necks.

Tyson probably had the widest neck I seen, I remember he had to get specially made dress shirts because his neck was so wide. Tysons neck was so abnormally wide he looked like the juggernaut.

How come boxers don't strengthen their neck like Tyson and Evander? I see them doing those chain with a weight plate stuff, but they don't do neck bridges which is proven to make your neck really grow wide and strong.

Does it help you take a punch better having a wide neck?

you would think so but micheal moorer had a huge 20" neck and his chin wasnt very good. same with bruce seldon. I think being able to take a good punch is as much mental as anything else

Yes absolutely. That's why neck size is sometimes taken in account for tale of the tape.

Tyson's neck was huge at about 15inches

LOL Floyd has a 16 inch neck at Tyson having a regular skinny guys neck, Tyson neck probably 22 inches around in his youth and prime. His neck got smaller since he abandoned doing neck bridges after he was having back issues.

Does it help you take a punch better having a wide neck?

Well, it can help.
But before discussing that you would have to differentiate the ability to take a punch in different parts but that would take some deeper knowledge of the nerve system and brain functions.

Roughly:
Having a wide neck can help to absorb the energy of a punch with the whole body. Therefore the mass which will be affected is higher which won't let your body accelerate as much. (Very roughly Newton's second law) Your important part is the brain. If you take a punch only with the head your brain might be shaken up too hard so it shuts down temporarily. If it touches the wall of where the brain is stored in, you get a concussion.

Of course thick necks help
