    Wrong, Fury got rocked by Cunningham in round 4 and was hanging on for dear life and the ref warned him afterwards for it though its not shown in this video

    Well, yeah, however lower divisions too are damaging. From last years looks that HW didn't had death cases shortly after fight, lower divisions had. While looks that CW no as far as I know, however there a lot of boxers are not less athletic than a lot of HW boxers and hits hard.
    The same Perez when trimmed down to CW looked like a body builder with low fat.
    Hunter was with low fat and very mobile at CW, get to HW and looked less mobile etc.
    etc and etc.

    u mean Cunnigham? Not that much pillow fisted he was if managed to catch an opponent with proper punch or counter punch.

    That Cunninghams punch would have dropped many HWs of any era

    Ali has the best chin ever tested by many of the best punchers ever (Liston 1 and 2, Frazier, Foreman, Lyle, Shavers).

    Then Chuvalo, McCall, Vitali, Mercer and the others.

    Fury is a fighting man. He was never getting stopped that night and never will. Imagine letting a 6’3 man 220 lbs of pure muscle landing his absolute perfect punch and Fury just eats it?

    H2H nightmare

    You're going to bring up a fight from the ametures ? LOL. David Tua put on weight during the pros and had a far better chin

    1 knockdown. Mercer got knocked down by Holyfield too. Ali got knocked down by Frazier and Cooper But besides that they've taken tons of punishment from big punchers and ate those blows. Dont see your point.

    Dont remember tua getting stopped or beaten around the ring unlike Wilder

    Who is talking about Wilder? I asked you to tell me who has an average chin if Fury's is below average and who (you feel) has an "iron" chin.

    And you post videos of Fury knocking down Wilder (LOL) while I post videos of your "IRON CHIN" getting dropped.

    Fury's chin is fine. Particularly considering I asked you to post who has an average chin, and you couldn't name one CURRENT heavyweight.

    Average Chin: Ron Lyle, Donovan Ruddock(good recovery similar to Fury), Shannon Briggs
    Iron chin: David Tua, Muhammad Ali, Vitali Klitschko, Oliver Mccall, Ray Mercer, Larry Donald, Old Foreman

    To get to the top of the division, you can't have a bad chin. Some have better chins than others, but no one's is BELOW average. The GLASS chins never get to the top. They are weeded out well before that.
