Boxers head size - advantage/disadvantage?

[yiddo14]

Nope. Good chins come with all different shaped heads.

Margarito has a swan like neck and pointy chin.

I guess if a head is too big it's hard to move out of the way!

Margarito has a swan like neck and pointy chin.

I would lay good money that that is the only time I will ever see the words "swan-like" & "Margarito" in the same sentence.

Unless someone posts something like "I bet Antonio Margarito would rape a swan, like".

david price has a peanut head for a heavyweight, gary mason RIP had a planet for a head!!

I remember haye saying that valuev had a thicker skull than the normal person,he was born with some kind of defect or something.

[hurlock]

lmao at this thread your comparing pea head may v all his big heed opponent's.

i think your head being small means your neck is more solid in comparison & nifty moving it more effectively so it must pay off.

Fantastic topic...though that's more to do with Mr Tickle and Homer Simpson...

Slightly of topic..again. Do beards help cushion a blow eg would Father Christmas take a big shot?

so if you're a big fat heavyweight does that mean you're immune to body shots aswell?

Maybe...imagine Butterbean with a unshaven head the size of valuev's = a world beater.

Apparently Chavez' cranium is thicker then a normal persons.... not sure if that is shite..

I've read the same about Hagler.

And Abe Atell; a boxer from Doncaster; John Oxenham boxed some very good domestic lads and he lost to Bruce Scott and was hurt. Afterwards in a scan it was shown he had an area of cranium that was thinner than the rest; (he was a good fit boxer the same, he was in all the papers locally).

Wander if having a big forehead makes any difference? Surely with more brain space you'd have better tactics and stuff.

That's defo true, a fight was a fat kids moment to shine at school they ship a lot without much effect.

I think CNP needs a re-think towards preparing fighters for battle, maybe add a block of lard to their recipes

They also had unshakable stamina. I remember I had a fight with a lad who 20 odd years later is my best mate. I DDT'd the c*nt. That took him down. Thats how I rolled at 8.

LOL with protein shakes followed by a good hearty english breakfast! Before you know it boxers will have turned into sumo wrestlers!

We'll see on the 29th, I was watching some of the build up for Bradley/Alexander and I did notice Bradley's head is enormous in comparison to Alexander's. Glen Johnson is another one with a freak head, he looks like toffee apple.

Very true- did you see the head to head HBO did.... very good viewing- the atmosphere was fornicating brilliant- if you get a min watch this

Nice one. I hadn't seen that, watching it now. Can't wait for this fight, glad it's on SKY too.

I'm a boxing good guy

Credit to Jeff, the DDT is an extremely dangerous move on a fat kid. You need a lot of purchase or to have that lard bucket severely worn down, or you're just dropping on your arse. ;;-)
