    Both huge, both extremely durable. Who would you say could take more?

    Wach 100%, so the fact that Makhmudov KO'd him may say a lot about his power, although Wach was past it

    Wach. In his prime his chin was insane

    Both very strong, but Wach had been blocking punches with his face for YEARS before getting KO'ed by Makhmudov (and he beat the 10-count), including that bonkers 12-round beatdown at the hands of a near-prime Klitschko. Zhang, tbf, is a huge sneaky puncher, though probably not as powerful as Klitschko.

    It's close, but Wach's is overall more proven.

    What Mariusz take from Władimir and still end fight on the feet is pretty damn impresive.
    Joyce iron chin end when he faced true puncher soo answer in this one easy.

    Wach easily. Wach was shaking off punches from the like of Klitschko and Povetkin like nothing. The first puncher Joyce fought knocked him out twice.

    You'd have to go with Wach as he'd never been dropped until he fought Mak and he was 42 by then.

    He'd never been legitimately stopped until he fought Bakole who like Mak is one of the hardest punchers in the division and who has stopped a whole bunch of very durable HWs and he hit Wach with about 13 flush shots in quick succession and Wach was still on his feet at the end

    The Miller stoppage was on a hand injury and the Povetkin one in round 12 was premature one due to a cut even though there was only 2 mins left in the round

    But there's no disgrace there because Wach has the best chin of any HW in a very long time

    Yes remember Klitschko hitting him with some bombs. I think after he'd connected with the right cross at least once by the 6 round. He gave up trying to knock him out.

    And it still took Makh landing on him almost at will and cornering him for that to happen.
