    The exact reply I expected which also backs up your previous post perfectly from somebody with obvious Psychological Projection !

    They've never been hit flush by Wilder like that though.

    It was about as perfect as Wilder has ever thrown and landed, and quite frankly I was stunned Fury got up from it. I expected it to be waved off.

    Eh, fair.

    You'd be pretty hard pressed to find a heavyweight that survives those two shots though.

    Doesn’t take much to put fury down, also Wilder has never stopped anybody who you would consider to have a good chin.

    Yet Fury has never been knocked out despite facing big punchers. There's no denying his chin.

    You may have a point about Wilder not stopping any super top names, but those said top names also fought super cautiously against him with the exception of Fury. They ain't doing that without good reason.

    I know Wilder has power, but we have to at some point see that his highlight reel KOs were against rather low ranked opponents.

    Fury's been dropped 7 times. And with a different ref, 'could' have been counted out vs WIlder. Luckily he has excellent recovery skills.

    There's a difference between a knockdown and a KO though. I rate chin based on KOs rather than being knocked off balance.

    Parker took centre of the ring and won every round of the fight. The only other person I’ve seen him take centre of the ring against was H Fury, every other decent level opponent he always looks happy to lose.

    To say that Zhang fought cautiously is laughable, he was in full control the entire fight and he had wilder in trouble in the corner as early as the second round, wobbled him in the third before separating him from his senses halfway through the fight.
