Alot of what makes a "good chin" is the ability to not get hit on those spots consistently
You guys hit the nail on the head. I concur on both counts...I don't think you need to have a really huge neck though. Just a good solid neck I think is good enough. Hagler never had a big neck just a good solid one. With the chin tucked its hard for your head to be swung around from punches unless they are very strong and heavy punches.
Personally I feel that just having a good awareness of your opponent is the most important contributing factor for how well a fighter can take a punch.
Take Care,
