Imporance of a good chin

[OldJackBurton]

I believe a good chin can make or break a fighter. Having talent, aquired skills and great strength and conditioning can be made moot by the condition of the fighters chin. ie Brock Lesnars iron chin was his saving grace and without it he wouldnt of been able to survive the first round with Carwin. On this note which fighter can attribute most of their success to a great chin or on the flip side lack of success as a result of a weak chin.

keith jardine had a glass chin

[TheHorror]

In all honesty (and yes I do think he should retire), if Chuck could still take a hit to give one, I think he'd still be a top guy. Not champion, but top 10 at least.

 

Unfortunately though, there is no existing excersize that can improve your ability to take a hit. On the flipside though, if there weren't guys like that we wouldn't have some of the nastiest KOs in history.

Kinda funny how Overeem's chin is made of glass and people think he would stand a chance against any of the top UFC HW's.

i think people judge a fighters jaw 2 easily like u get ko'd and now u have a glass jaw :/

[thesoulpower]

The best fighters are the ones that dont get hit to begin with.

This ^^. I think it takes a few fights to determine how good a fighters chin is. 1 tko doesnt really mean a whole lot to me unless it becomes a pattern

Everyone's chin should look like Faber's.

chris leben has a great chin and I think he can attribute the majority of his wins to it

[Mirko4life]

True, but if a fighter goes by the old "take a punch to give a punch", he's gonna hit a point in his career where his chin is gone. No matter how great it used to be.

 

Look at Big Nog.

 

I think even if a fighter knows he has a great chin, he shouldn't just walk in there and eat as many punches as he can just to get the win.

This ^^; with 4 oz. gloves a KO can come from any punch pretty much its consistancy which people should watch not one round of one fight.

I completely agree, not just because im an arlovski ****

All of arlovski's losses are from him either getting TKOed because of his chin, or the fact that he is too cautious of his chin that he doesn't commit

[ToiletSeat]

K1 fighters chins seem to be quite good, as in they get KOed but it doesn't have such a huge consiquence(sp?) like chuck liddels, for example Cro cop has been KOed a couple of times, but he can still take huge punches from JDS and barry

Leben's career is his Chin. Someone mentioned Arlovski on the flip side and i have to agree; if he had some granite in there, he'd have been much more dominant
