    On scale 1 to 10 I would give him solid 6. In his best time probably even 7.

    No one with weak chin would be able to stand up after perfect clean right hand from Wladimir Klitschko.

    His problem was always that he after being catch with big shot need pretty long time before he come back to normal shape. He become "slow motion" version of himself. But same think happend to Wilder who was considered better in this.

    Now off course he probably lost his confidence after Ruiz fight and 2 with Usyk so he try not get hit more. That's good but he should work on balancing these two issues because he always was offensive monster. He should not let himself loose it.

    Took Klitschko’s right hands (and left hook that has also sparked guys), took Povetkins uppercut, Whyte’s left-hook. Very solid chin. Just weak hearted.

    Underrated. Never really been KO'd, took solid shots from Wlad, Whyte, Povetkin etc.

    Ruiz got a temple shot.

    You really have to account for the mental aspect of this. The thing is, I never faulted AJ's heart as part of how he's reacted to having been stopped, but even if I think he gets gun-shy in a way that doesn't behoove him, I see the rationality in it. If he doesn't think it's as reliable as it may be, then it does make perfect strategic sense to change how offensive he is, accordingly. It may not be a good decision, but it's not like it's inherently a bravery issue or illogical. I felt the same about Wlad's post-Steward. Sure, I didn't think he ever needed to be standing back on a guy like Chambers, but I also didn't think it was a heart issue as much as if you don't personally think you can take 'em, you do it the way you think it's most likely to work and, hey, fair enough.

    He didnt take the right to its true potential. And he evaded the left hook. Thats a difference.

    Not quite at glass-chin level, AJ possesses an average chin at heavyweight for the most part.

    Chin doesn't matter when you're mentally weak.

    Fury can’t even bring himself to fight a legit boxer. One of the most mentally weak champs today.

    Well he’s got two wins this year already and plans a third in December. Fury hasn’t fought once and is ducking a “middleweight”.

    Both his wins were awful. fought scared. Static as ever. Useless as ever. Can't even throw a wombo combo anymore like in his youth. Helenius beat him up.
