It's interesting to say, because I think many people will say: "It hasn't been tested enough." https://www.boxingforum24.com/threads/mount-rushmore-of-hw-chins.713014/ What is Oleksandr Usyk's HW chin in historical terms, given that he is the "gold standard" - Oliver McCall?
I doubt it's McCall or Chuvalo. But it is impossible that it is glass. Or weak wood. Impossible that if it is wood that it is weak wood. It may not be titanium. It may be wood, possibly just a medium wood. I think it is a solid wood, like a very, very hard, thick, long wood. With some type of torsion which affects like a quarter of the woods and is nothing to feel weird or ashamed about. Some people say it's only 1% but I say 25%. It's a guessing game at this point until I see all of them.
He has a great chin and he's definitely been tested, in the heavyweight division he's fought Chisora, 2x Fury, 2x Joshua and 2x Dubois, so I can safely say he has a great chin because he hasn't been knocked down once...
Solid chin. The fact he doesn't rely on it tells you all you need to know about his skill level and analytical approach to the game
Many think he never gets hit whilst simultaneously never praising his defence He has a great chin and great defence and he hasn't even come close to going down despite running a gauntlet of savage punchers, KO artists, legit bangers, many much bigger than him, like no other current champ in the sport and yes he's been cracked on the chin by all of them. The difference is, unlike all the fighters those guys knocked out or dropped, the shots just bounce off his iron chin ''These HWs are too big and strong for Usyk and will knock his head off'' ''Usyk is too small for HW'' ''Usyk will never even win one belt at HW'' Every single HW Usyk has fought was hurt way more or more by him than he was by them, if you're one of those who believe he has been hurt at HW that is and truth be told they don't have much to go on This content is protected This content is protected This content is protected

As Rocky Marciano would say about Muhammad Ali: "Ali is the champion at dodging punches... Muhammad Ali was never hit hard in the jaw...".
