    Floyd Mayweather Jr. when asked of the three most important attributes a fighter could possess, famously replied "Brain, Chin, Heart". I tend to agree.

    Applying this to today's top heavies makes for some interesting results:

    Tyson Fury
    YES Brain
    YES Chin
    YES Heart

    Deontay Wilder
    NO Brain
    YES Chin
    YES Heart

    Andy Ruiz Jr.
    YES Brain
    NO Chin
    YES Heart

    Luis Ortiz
    YES Brain
    NO Chin
    NO Heart

    Dillian Whyteleafe
    NO Brain
    NO Chin
    YES Heart

    Antony Joshua
    NO Brain
    NO Chin
    NO Heart

    How can you say Ruiz has no chin? How many times has he been down in his career? Less than Fury but Fury has chin apparently.

    AJ does have heart, I'm not his biggest fan but he does have a heart.

    His chin ain't great, his brain is average.

    Ruiz does have a chin!

    If Ruiz hasn’t got a chin then no one has.

    Haha, though I think as others have said, Ruiz must have chin.
    And King Kong definitely has no brain.

    In response to the OP;

    Andy Ruiz Jr
    No Chin     - Seriously?

    Luis Ortiz
    No Heart     - Wrong, see the Wilder fight.

    Dillian Whyte
    No Chin     - Not amazing but certainly not weak... see both Chisora fights.

    Anthony Joshua
    No Chin     - Not a great Chin, but he ate bombs vs Klitschko!
    No Heart - See the Klitschko fight... Plus he got up every time vs Ruiz.

    It’s a binary ranking system. Pretty straightforward.

    Fury ate bombs off possibly the most concussive puncher in heavyweight history. No man has shared a ring with Wilder and not been KTFO. What’s more the twelfth round when fury ate that one two which would have killed a lot of heavies he came back to clown the rest of the round, unreal chin. Will go down in history when you think about it.

    YES Chin.
