Poirier doesn't have a "great" chin

It's not bad, but far from great

A better example is Mousasi, who has a small head/narrow jaw and never got KOd despite fighting in 3 weight classes

look at the pic again.. does something look off,,, maybe a tiny head..

You never know if a guy is going to have a great chin. Why does Condit have such a great chin and his head is normal? Mousasi has a great chin but a normal/small looking head.

Condit has a normal "look" but he definitely doesnt have a small skull. Checkout that picture of him when he's young next to his brother and you can tell condit had a noticeably broader skull with a big neck too. Hell of a chin on the guy

Generally true, but there are always outliers..

Lol Peahead was a great os nickname.
Not a great chin anyway

 

[Yellowcrab]

faces all look like this

compact midface
short wide flat faces with strong jawline

No they don't. So many counter examples such as Jon Jones for instance.

 

[DOMMA]

In the UFC the best chins I can list:
Ngannou, Blagoi Ivanov, Jon Jones, Mark Hunt, Marvin Vettori, Kelvin Gastelum, Max Holloway, Roy Nelson, the Diaz brothers

Lots of different physics and ethnicity. Hard to see any trend, really.

Even with your odd list, 33.3% of them are Mexican....

2 out of 3 are as much English as they are Mexicans. That's irrelevant.

More to do with the fact that muscular guys, usually cut a lot of weight, so less brain rehydration, so more likely to fall.

Giga Chikadze even has a good chin.

That's the quincunx abs maybe ; he's a mystery, the day he's gonna crumble after a Chandler-like kick, I'm gonna be legit worried.

Typically this goes against sound theory. For all the naive people who try to draw correlations without finding contradictions. Many, many muscular fighters have also had amazing chins. One theory is that thicker necks and more developed traps helps the body absorb the impact from strikes to the head that would lead to getting rocked or knocked out. There's a lot of factors for chin durability, definitely genetic components as well but being muscular doesn't make your chin weaker lol.

do buffer guys have stronger necks?

maybe they skipped neck day <45>



if you look at canelo's neck, it's relatively larger than his other muscles

Usually buffer guys do have thicker necks, yes of course. Boxers do specifically train their necks though, as do wrestlers.

No weaker chins.....usually worse defense b/c they can be stiff.
