Would you consider Furys chin a Question Mark until further notice?

    It is up for debate but I don't think Fury can outbox Joshua that easily:) AJ is an excellent, olympic pedigree boxer and also has the punching power to cause Tyson big trouble. We'll see :)

    He ate multiple flush shots from Wilder and got up on steady legs. Those shots wiped lesser chins out cold.

    Decent chin, but more importantly excellent recovery. Joshua's chin is way more questionable imo, and his recovery ability when he is hurt is awful.

    After Fury got up in round 12 Wilder cracked him with a left hook that rolled his eyes around his head, it's all in slow mo here:

    & it didn't faze him he came back fighting like A WARRIOR

    Cunningham hit him with a left hook and right hand after Fury got up also


    The only thing that has happened historically when you hurt Fury is you get a 270 pound man coming after you to do damage. Fury's adrenalin glands are the size of milk jugs.

    I think AJ and Fury have similar one punch resistance but there is a difference between the two.

    Fury recovers extremely quickly, AJ stays hit for a while.


    Fury has touched the canvas but he got up and looked fine.

    AJ even going back to Whyte, gets hurt but and takes ROUNDS to recover and against Ruiz he didn't recover.

    As had been said, he can obviously take a very hard punch, but more importantly is his quick recovery


    The man is a machine, especially after his taking the Kronk training style and have more power

    fury is THE man right now

    Not PURE glass but definitely lost a bit of its structural integrity

    This is it, it's not just the chin, it's the recovery

    I'd say chin wise there's not much in it between him and AJ but Fury has much better recovery and can also deal with adversity without panicking

    Wilder tagged him twice in the second fight and didn’t hurt him. His chin is fine

    This ^ is the key thing in IMO regarding both AJ & Fury's chins.

    Fury's chin may well not be granite, in that he can hit the canvas. But it's definitely rubber - He just bounces right back.

    With Fury's known strong will, he gets back on his feet and takes the fight right back to his opponent to win the fight. It's been proven.

    AJ, I think, may well have some good success with Fury early. Possibly testing Fury's chin.
    The irony of it is, it will very probably be to AJ's detriment in doing so.

    Wallin caught Fury with his best overhand left in round 12 right on the point of the chin and Fury ate it

    This would drop lesser heavies.

    No. I've made mistakes in the past with chins and been wrong. Just because someone gets wobbled or even dropped doesn't mean they have a bad chin.

    Now actually getting stopped and early does mean you are packing some glass. See Amir Khan, James Kirkland, and RJJ as examples. Although fluke early KOs to guys with good chins do happen on occasion (see Gabe Rosado). But unlike the trio I named earlier, Rosado proved his chin in later fights.
