Why does Vitali's chin hold up better than Wlad's?

    Is there a scientific explanation for why somebody can absorb a punch to the face better than another guy of equal size? For example, both McCall and Mercer compared to say...Rahman and Morrison?:dunno:

    Vitali looks like he has a bigger neck. Whether that has anything to actually do with it, I don't know.

    VItali is just a tough guy, Wlad isn't. Vitali is a "fighter" where Wlad is a "boxer" if you know what I mean. You either have it or you don't. Wlads issue is not his chin per se. He folds under pressure and panics. Vitali has more of a fighters instinct.

    In the womb there was only to be one Klitschko born. By some strange freak of nature the one child split, and became two, but there was a price for that seperation. One child would be given strength, endurance, durability, and toughness, the other would be given strength, balance, and coordination. Had these two remained one, their combined boxing gifts would have made them the perfect fighting machine the likes of which this world has ever seen.

    Alas it was not meant to be, and perhaps it is better that way because the lack of any meaningful competition for this beast might have frustrated the hell out of us.

    Good chin is just like coming up with an interesting thread. Some have it. Some don't

    Great scenario if they were actually twins.
