Eubank Has A Good Chin Because His Dad Does.

[Taansend]

OK, apparently it's been claimed on here "3 or 4 times" in the last few weeks that Jnr's chin is good because his dads was/is.

Who said this

Own up.

Don't know until Saturday night

The genetics logic certainly doesn't include Wlad and Vitali.

[jamamb]

whats his moms chin like. genetics arent just all about daddys.

If Mayweather’s kids ever ask a similar question, Floyd can actually answer it

Actually yes, he probably did.

The way genetics works you could (theoretically) have a son who was 99% identical to the father (although certain things like mitochondrial DNA and transcription factors must come from the mother).

Chin / punch resistance is principally (though not entirely) genetic - you can't put muscles on one, after all. So he has probably inherited it from Sr. He may also have inherited it from his mother, but unless Sr has an especially dark side there would be no way of knowing.

Why not? They're not genetically identical. They most likely inherited differing degrees of punch resistance. Unless Vitaly has found some magic exercise that makes your chin stronger and then hid it from Wladimir.

My brother used to hide Scalextric cars from me. There's no f*cking limit to the depths older brothers will stoop to

is chin any more likely to be aquired from dad then mom? any more likely to be mainly dad rather than a mix? can we say its actually the most likely case that he has his dads chin rather than his moms or some hybrid? there have been just so many fighters who arent near the level of abilities there father was, at least enough to make it uncertainty

but his chin seems at least solid to me. i think a chin thats not at least decent wouldve tended to shown signs by now. i dont believe it being uncovered requires facing a big puncher

It's no more likely to have come from Sr than from his mother or a mix of the two. But a) we can be sure that he got it from one/both of them b) we know his dad has a good chin c) his mum is equally like to have a good or bad chin as we know nothing about her. So I'm going with he got it off his dad.

[handsofstone]

Eubank was shook up pretty big from O'Sullivan so Groves will be able to hurt him

[jamamb]

wouldnt say shook pretty big but i just rewatched that and eubank was defo a bit rocked there. also didnt look filled with 'self belief' at the time. still took some big shots and came back strong the next round.

Elijah McCall didn't benefit from his dad's chin. Oliver the atomic bull had a chin of granite while his son got KO'd multiple times in the first couple of rounds.

[jamamb]

glass chinned mah for elijah then?

Probably got his Mum's chin. Or he inherited recessive "good chin" genes and dominant "shit chin" genes. Genetics is a dice roll each time.

Sh*t talk

Legend has it that Haroon Khan has a titanium chin and he lets Heavyweight pros line up and give him a free dig

Was only thinking the other day , what happened to his boxing career ?

[Sklar]

It’s not come from the chin fairies has it. It’s obviously down to his genetics.

[jamamb]

i think its more questioning the assumption that since his dad had iron he will

i didnt remember that spike had rocked him like that but it still seems sturdy to me, though groves will be his biggest hitting opponent by far

[Coco]

There are many examples of sons having genes similar to their father and who know jnr might have them.

The other Eubank boy who got starched inside a round certainly doesn't
