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!

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".

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.

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

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.

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.

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. ;;-)
