    Not proven glass yet, but certainly some serious questions have been raised about his ability to take a punch.

    What do others think? Is Anderson packing glass?

    He has a good chin. He took multiple huge shots while in a terrible defensive posture; if he had even an average chin, he'd have been dropped.

    Just because someone gets hurt in a fight doesn't mean they have a glass chin, especially at HW.

    He will be stopped by someone with average power but good skills.

    I want to end the HW hypejobs that was/is for the last 10 years

    There isn't a fighter in the heavyweight division who hasn't been seriously hurt at least once, Zhang threatened Joyce more than once and as far as I remember he knocked him off balance once...

    Who are the non-hypejobs, in your view?

    Because of the guys on the way up, all of them are severely flawed imo. We could be looking at fragmented belts to include Anderson, Jalolov, Dubois and Hrgovic as beltholders. That would be one of the worst champion quartets of all-time.

    He who actually fought and beat top 15 guys(not once) and don't claim that they are best ever.

    UK hyped Whyte, AJ and Dubois, none of them are top guys for me, why ? because I believe, outside of top 15 would beat them. even outside of top 25 with some guys.

    Same goes for Usyk. he is top with certain style, but would look average against someone with pressure and good stamina.

    It's really hard to be a supporter of a HW right now. They are just to inactive.

    You run into big heavyweights throwing bombs you're getting put on your butt.

    I think his chin is average to above average which is why he's adopted the style he has. His defense is terrible. You need a certified IRON chin to fight the way he does and I don't think he's got that. Upset in the making absolutely.

    Solid enough chin imo. Martin has underrated power, probably hits as hard as Whyte. His problem is his defense won't be good enough at top level. JJ has a ridiculous chin and even he can't just eat punches at elite heavyweight level.

    It seemed pretty solid against Martin, which is a good thing, with his defence he's gonna get cracked often when he steps up.

    Solid chin but horrible defense,

    Seems like shots are suörosing him and he gets off balance. somehow he just doesn't see them coming

    Kossubutskiy will likely be more confident after watching him vs Martin. Anderson can be timed with counters and hurt.

    I hear you on that. The Klitschko and Lewis era was the last of the great heavyweights in my book.
