How many "iron chinned" guys has Wilder fought?

Well now hang on a second. Im not an Ortiz hater. I wanted him to win. Both times. Ive actually been on record numerous times on this forum as a Wilder hater if anything. Stiverne was folded his 2nd fight vs Wilder. Origami folded. To me it erases his 12 round distance the 1st time. And also, I dont give Breazeale credit for having a good chin cause he was literally laid TF out by Wilder his last fight. No props to him for that.

 

You can't just pick and choose when someone has a good chin, he was able to take some big hits from good hitting heavyweights. That result says more about Wilders power than chin

 

Stiverne has a solid chin, he was beaten up by a relentless Joyce and didn't fold. Wilder flattened him.

Wilders power is serious.

Probably Stiverne and duhaupas best chins he's fought.

 

I don't like Wilder at all. But at a certain point you have to admit the power is exceptional. I'm not even convinced it's completely natural. But whatever the case, it's on display at this stage. There's too much evidence for it. Yes, he fought lower level opposition for a while, (though that doesn't mean they don't have chins). But now he's iced guys like Stiverne/Breaz that have taken shots from heavy handed fighters. He put Fury over and though people think Fury has no chin, he took a couple of big flush RH's from Wlad and some hooks. Fury has also tasted power from Price, so he's a pretty good judge. There are other sparring accounts from Haye confirming the power and Wilder just KO'd Ortiz to the forehead.

 

So if Wilder theoretically laid Parker out in one round that'd mean Parker retroactively had no chin? When does someone start getting props from you then?

 

Wasnt he?
Didnt he literally take that fight on less than a days notice.

We're talking "rushing him to the arena so he'd be there on time" late.

 

You raise a really good point that is often overlooked on this forum.

The best guys do not get hit flush very often. They are making subtle movements to avoid, deflect or roll with the punch.

Too many think it's about standing there and wailing away at each other chin like rocker sockem robots.

Yes there are differences in peoples abilities to withstand head trauma but it is also a lot about minimizing the amount of head trauma a fighter must absorb. There are very few to zero elite fighters I can think of that lead with their face. Guys that do that tend to have short careers.

People also sometimes dont take into account where you get hit matters. A fighter can be taking shots and taking shots but then go down from a single punch from a supposedly lesser puncher. Sometimes it's because its exactlly where you get hit. Not every spot on your body is equal in its ability to take punishment. The classic liver shot being a good example.

 

Iron chinned: 0
Sturdy chinned: 2 (Duhaupas and Stiverne)

It's difficult to gage Ortiz's chin as his only trouble has come from Wilder. If Ortiz continues to fight and no one else is able to dead him how Wilder has, I'd retroactively say his chin is sturdy as well.

 

Before becoming a bar bouncer, Szpilka worked in an iron foundry. Does that count?

 

How many iron-chinned guys are there at HW? Just about anyone can be knocked out at that weight.

 

Oh there are definitely a few... Chisora being one of them. Parker...Wach

Wach took some crazy punishment from Bakole... jesus.... didn't go down once.

 

Yes, only Duhupas comes close, but he was KOed by Povet and he is a C level fighter
