    Watch his first fight with McDermott and you will see that Furys chin isnt bad

    Fury's chin is OK. Its about 6-7 out of 10. I could see him getting stopped somewhere along the line but so far he's only been down throu being careless. Hopefully now he's at the very top and will only be fighting top tier guys he will be a bit more switched on and take his training seriously.

    When has been down he has recovered fine (admittedly against smaller none punchers)

    As people have said its a miles better than Wilders - who while not being down officially has been wobbled all over the show and to me that's more of a worry

    Enigma.

    Put down by two light hitters in Pajkic and Cunnngham but stood up to the hardest puncher in the world.

    Since fighters his size do not physically mature until their 30's, his chin and power will get better in the next few years.

    The overhand right Cunningham landed on Fury was a hell of a shot regardless of what his knockout percentage is. I was impressed with how quickly he recovered from that.

    Mentioning Ali is a bit pointless because Ali had many fights and took many punches so people have a better idea of what his chin was like.

    Not Glass not granite. Its not a great chin but I don't think you will see him getting knocked out by anyone other than a real big puncher.

    Yeah, on the one hand, he survived an old Klitschko, and on the other, he was decked by featherfisted Steve Cunningham.

    Very shaky. But I will say this, Fury has a good heart. He'll get up if he's able to.

    Let's be clear - I'm not saying Fury has a weak chin. But a big, big guy with relatively skinny legs always makes me nervous.

    Wlad never checked it which was the most disappointing thing about his performance for me.
