Does someone with an “iron chin” have better “wiring” such that it takes a bigger hit to knock those wires loose (I’m fully aware the brain is much more complicated than a bunch of wires, but I don’t know how else to put it), is it a skill that gets developed, or is something about their facial structures better at minimizing the amount of concussive force the brain receives?

usually strong neck jaw and trap muscles can mitigate the blow, reducing the shock to the chin. Fighters with iron chins will get slept if sucker punched, but these fighters usually are more brawlers. Anyone with a iron chin you’ll notice how tense the said muscles are while squaring up, and they’ll be eating punches, take another fighter who’s style is more precise and defensive, their body is trained to be more relaxed and tense in other muscle groups and timings. they won’t square up they’ll weave in and out and if they get caught the muscles needed to mitigate the shock aren’t tense cause that isn’t their style or how they train, but the iron chin guys are comfortable and fight that way. anyone with a iron chin is always a scrappy brawler tensed up and can eat them, the other guys just don’t train or fight in a similar style so they aren’t prepared to take the hit
