Do all fat fighters have good chins?

[RaZer Cruz]

I put him in that category as well. Why?

Because he's proven he just eats trash and is generally just fat.

What? Have you seen the boys dome? And his build overall? He is exactly what I described in my initial post in this thread

Those guys getting KO’ed aren’t even fighters first of all.

Second, being fat doesn’t mean your chin is invincible.

Tank didn't train, he admitted as much.

 

[Ancient Warrior]

Not really.

Tank had a pretty good chin. But it doesn’t matter if he didn’t. Cherry picking gifs of overweight guys getting KO’ed aren’t really indicative of much. Why not show the hundreds of bombs he’s absorbed instead? Did Mark Hunt have a bad chin because he was KO’ed multiple times?

Yes most fat fighters have EPIC chins, you are forgetting Cabbage and Butterbean too, they both had EPIC chins. Most fat fighters have round faces which is much better to take flush shots, rather than pointed chins like someone like Vick for example, with that long thin chin.

Even though Penn aint really a fat fighter, he always had that round face which is really good at taking shots. I seen enough MMA and kickboxing and boxing that its cant be a coincidence in all of them some of the most epic chins are always fat fighters.

Not all, not all, not all, but most

That punch would have knocked out anyone

No. But all good chins have fat fighters.

Chuvalo, Ali, Hagler, LaMotta and McCall had the best chins in boxing history and none of them were fat.

A massively reinforced foundation makes the entire structure more stable.

A massively reinforced foundation makes the the entire structure more stable.

Exactly. More weight and mass means there is more there just to absorb the force of the strike. A punch to the head of a guy weighing 260lbs is going to be absorbed much easier with that extra weight.
Not to mention these guys all have much more massive bone structure,

Condit seems to be a glitch in the matrix, he is snkinnier than Rockhold and have probably the best chin in the UFC.

He toon bombs from Elemberger, Alves, Hendricks, Woodley and Lawler all in their prime and despite having a 5 fight losing streak he hasn’t been stopped by strikes

fat is beautiful

 

[Draxton]

They cut less weight so they arent missing any blood to the head.

It's possible, but it's also possible that a fat guy would HAVE to have a great chin to be considered in any way.... So, the ones that make it to the UFC would have to be durable, I'm guessing kinda goofy as well to add to that "fat and happy" thing people also buy in to...

They're not exactly gonna bring a guy in that looks like Nelson who can't run a mile OR take a punch. lol

I bet a bit lower down "the rankings", you've got guys that look like Nelson but take a punch worse than Ronda

Diabetes is what KO's fat people...

 

[stinkynecklace]

I think the problem is that fighters who cut a lot of weight and dehydrate themselves compromise their ability to take a shot. Chubby fighters aren't doing that.

Hunt and Big Country have both cut to come in at the 265 limit.
