    Probably Wlad, but Fury’s recovery abilities are considerably better.

    Fury by a mile. He never got stopped.

    But he got badly hurt by Usyk who isn’t a huge puncher, let alone Steve Cunningham.

    Wlad got stopped or dropped by lesser fighters, but they were all huge punchers..

    Difference is Wlad was almost useless once he got hurt, while Fury could recover quickly and get mean once he came to.

    Any other heavyweight wouldn't have been able to continue after that onslaught, people massively underestimate how well Usyk has grown into his weight.

    And that doesn't change the fact that Fury has never been stopped. Wlad has.

    I would rank Fury right behand Muhammad Ali as the best two chins I've seen for getting off the deck.. However, it's easy to say that because we've seen both of them get put on their butts by hellacious blows and get right back up and perform well.

    Then we have guys like George Chuvalo who was never knocked down despite going up against Foreman, Frazier and many other hard punchers. This is the type of fighter with the best chin.

    They both get knocked down. Difference is Fury gets up and fully recovers like nothing happened. Wlad doesn’t.

    it’s not even close here because of how elite Fury’s recovery is. He can go from literally unconscious/concussed to fighting competently in the span of 8 seconds.

    Yeah tbf if you don't nail Fury cold with a single shot you will probably lose the momentum and you have to work all over again for it. Like a reset button.

    Fury.

    wlads wasn’t great.

    Neither is fury’s but he masks being hurt better (which involves being conscious for longer) and his recuperation is excellent.

    Wlad biggest weakness was probably his chin

    Fury.

    People overstate the importance of how hard it is to hurt you, these are 220+ lbs HWs we are talking about, all these guys can and WILL hurt each other if they land clean. I guarantee you, if Usyk lands a clean hook on McCall he’s gonna hurt him just fine.

    Wlad crumbles like a piece of paper when he gets hurt, Fury gets back into it within seconds. And thats all that really matters.

    It’s got to be Fury. He’s so tough, he can survive any attack from any heavyweight, including himself. :ggg
