    Average/decent chin. It's more his ability to recover than anything.

    This, 10 out of 10 recovery skills helps negate not having the chin of a let's say Vitali Klitschko or Oliver McCall.

    Echo comments above - I don't think anyone has ever touted Fury as having a granite chin - but his recovery is top-tier.

    Not chin itself, but the ability to recover very fast

    Everyone knows the score, his chin is close to being glass but his powers to recover are absolutely insane. That said, two more punches from Usyk in that 9th round and the fight was comprehensively over. Look at Fury’s eyes, he was done.

    Fury took big shots from the two biggest HW hitters of his time, Wlad and Wilder and the biggest MMA puncher too. And he wasn't KO'd.
    His chin must be better than average.
    He was dropped by lesser punchers. But those KDs were from haymakers square on his face, which is probably why.

    But then he took some big shots in Wilder I. In Wilder 2 he also got nailed a few times early that people don't mention. Then since becoming a full-blown KO-artist Kronker, he took huge damage in Wilder 3 and was concerned about weird pain in his head, took a lot of damage against the MMA fighter, and now Usyk concussed him badly too.

    So at this point his chin probably isn't so good. It's probably the level of late Povetkin, though not quite Povetkin versus Whyte.

    I think he could recover it a bit, but not if he's fighting in October.

    Fure recovered in less than a minute. That's insane.

    I wonder if he can recover from a bodyshot, same way as his chin

    As the quote goes "It's not whether you get knocked down, it's whether you get up"

    I like Jack Dempseys thoughts on the matter "A champion is someone who gets up when he can't."

    The Kronk style has done more damage to Fury than punches from any opponents have done,Fury is far to easy to hit and nor does not carry the power to pull this style off,he is far better off parting with Sugar .

    He recovers well but his chin is suspect…
