    I don't understand how you could put Fury above AJ.

    Tyson said there was plenty of glass jaws on his site and not to be worried...I thought that was very honest and very caring of him

    AJ hasn't gotten up from Wilder's punches

    Lol first off Wilder weighed 230 before. He chooses to come in light because he wants too. Steve Cunnigham weighed 190 and had to put on weight. So Wilder and Cunnigham aren't the same size.

    Second Wlad landed that punched countless times against guys like Ross Purritty and it had no effect. Wlad even landed that same right hand numerous times a old Everett "Big Foot" Martin in their first fight and couldn't phase him. Yet a old timid Wlad almost knocked out AJ with one punch. That shows how poor AJ's chin is. That punch that AJ took against Whyte wasn't flush either. It was a half way decent punch from a half way decent puncher. Whyte has yet to knockout a opponent that would be considered world class.

    Wilder was also knocked down by the 17-20 Harold Sconier who isn't a big puncher. Being hit by Tyson Fury and not going down proves what? Tyson Fury isn't a big puncher and pretty much ran most of the fight.

    Fury runs like a woman and still got dropped twice by light punching guys like Cunnigham and Pajkic.

    So neither Joshua, Fury, or Wilder can take a punch. They are just lucky to be in such a poor era for heavyweights.

    That being said neither Joshua or Wilder have been knocked down by a light punching cruiserweight like Fury has. I can't imagine Joshua being knocked down by a club fighter like Wilder has. So AJ has a better chin that Wilder and Wilder has a better chin that Fury. But this could change if any of these guys actually start to step up and fight better opposition.

    That first shot wouldn't have knocked AJ down.

    In fairness the 1st one was because Fury was off balance, and he didn't really look hurt after either. Fury took a huge 1-2 then ate another left hook on the way down, then got up and started beating Wilder's ass

    AJ has a good chin imo, but he didn't take shots of the biggest puncher in the division (imo) and go straight back into fightmode

    I don’t know if you can compare them really as none of them walk through shots that’s a chin for me a fighter who eats shots like it’s nothing, none of them do so aren’t you just comparing certain shots in certain fights? Then there’s a lot more going on, It’s the circumstances of the shot they took? That isn’t something that would even come into play with a fighter with a proper chin. For example Shannon Briggs?

    So you write all that just to agree with me on the chin rankings? Lol

    Also Steve Cunningham came in at 210 for fury

    Wilder was 212 against fury
