It's a combination of genetics, strengh, and mental toughness. They believed they could take those shots to the head and body so they did. The mind can push the body way past its limits.
I would also include a strong neck and most professional boxers are so used to hits they dont even faze them anymore.
combination of mental toughness and having a good chin and a chin is not something you can realy improve you either have one or you dont
Yeah it is mostly mental.....the occasion demands it....afterwards they probably feel it more....bear in mind though we only see a snapshot of their lives....36 minutes with intervals...
Great answer..................It's called heart, guts, determination, the will to win, pride, mind over matter, macho ism......................all ingredients of a great fighter.
im talking guys like tyson who had an amazing chin, holyfiled chin of steel, riddick bowe, george foremon, micky ward, gatti etc how are these fighters able to take punsihment , get hit with some hard hits and not die in the ring or after the fight like some pro boxers tend to do? are they born to take hits or is something else
