Bernard Hopkins said he did it.

I've heard about this too. I thought it was for use during drills. I asked one guy about it and he said it was just too awkward so he stopped doing it. Never tried it myself.

maybe size of object depends from ppl to ppl.
but the concept sounds like a good one?

I shadow box with a tennis ball under my chin sometimes but I feel running with one would be challenging

Tennis ball seems a little big and uncomfortable to carry under your chin

There is something for this that you used to be able to get to instill the habit of keeping your chin tucked though. It was like a little rope necklace with a piece of styrofoam going through the rope, and you would hold it under your chin while training.

I don't know who sells them I've only seen them ever in gyms but they look very easy to make.

Marquez drank his own urine before a bout. Fancy a try?

Yeah but going to prison has nothing to do with boxing. Holding something under your chin does, it's a method I've heard of before.

Much like tying a string between your feet. Or tying down one arm to only work punches with the opposite one. There's a lot of quirky training ideas that were used back in the old days in U.S. gyms.
