Chin in other Sports

We should remove the (chin) from this article and replace it with (sports), as Chin isn't something exclusive to boxing. There's Chin in MMA, for instance. Taotd (talk) 03:51, 6 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Etymology

Why is the chin (or jaw) used as an analogy for a fighter's resilience? Is there any actual connection between punching at the jaw/chin (vs any other part of the face) and the likelihood of knocking someone out? Ham Pastrami (talk) 16:26, 7 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

There is actually. A correctly placed punch can drive the chin back to hit upon a specific nerve (the Vagus nerve? Dont quote me, I'm not positive) causing the target of the punch to be Knocked out. Although a punch can also come from a different angle to strike this same nerve. A Hook can catch the target slightly behind and below the ear to strike home the same effect.

Removing the lists

I propose removing both the lists of names as they remain without any ref's and are 'spam magnets' being edited based upon whomever last nights winner was. I am not sure if it is WP:INAPPROPRIATE based on personal point of view, spam ... or something in between the 2, but neither list adds any value or insight to this article.

collapsing the lists

Is there a reason that these lists need to be displayed in their entirty to people more intrested in the actual article? They beginning to outweighing the article about "what a chin is" at the length they have become. They should be spun off into their own actual article at this point - List of Fighters considered Chinny
