    Ruiz is on the right place.

    For Pulev, he take some very, veery clean shots from Klitshko, so not sure that was weak chin, more like weak defense and not focused in the seconds after clinching(all these clean shots were in the same way - 1st clinch, then Pulev needed 1 second more to put his hands up, Klitshcko attacked just before that time, then again and again the same, 3 times if i remember right).But, Hughie Fury isn't famous with his KO power, and he had 1 moment when he rocked Pulev seriously.From one side, it was Hughie..from other, looked like he was saving energy all the fight for only that round and these couple moments when he explodes with all his energy, all or nothing..Pulev was rocked, but it ended with..nothing :) not even an knockdown, soo..don't know, weak chin or not, but he clearly has wholes in his defense, from time to time he goes into "sleep mode".

    Povetkin shouldn't be with so underrated chin.Too old, the speed also gas gone, getting tired from nothing, but still ready to eat hard punches, be aggressive no matter how many times he was hitted and being on his legs till the end.

    And Wilder didn't go down from any punches to the chin from Fury. You left that part out.

    Wilder has been down once from a punch to the chin. He got up and floored the guy four times and stopped him.

    That's it.

    If Tyson Fury drops Wilder with a punch to the chin in their third fight, it will be the first time he's dropped Wilder with a punch to the chin.

    Wrong. Fury said he was out against Wilder until his head bounced off the floor. That 12th round knockdown was no "flash knockdown." He barely beat the count.

    I think Sugar Nic Firtha is the only who really managed to hurt Fury, went all bambi legged on that one. McDermott also put a pasting on him without knocking him down.

    On the other hand those who have knocked Fury down all ended up getting brutally stopped themselves.

    Again they tried to lock Serge up in an asylum for the criminally insane for the crime of speaking nothing but truth and facts but once again Serge has been proven right.

    Povetkin's chin>>Fat Andy's

    It took the way bigger, heavier, younger and longer prime AJ about 8-9 flush bombs to put a near 40 y/o way past prime Povetkin over even though he'd hurt him badly with the first huge right hand, whereas AJ was able to drop a prime Fat Andy with a two punch combo even though Fat Andy had close to 50lb of super fat on Povetkin.

    Povetkin 222lbs - AJ 245¼lbs

    Fat Andy - 268 - AJ 247¾lbs

    Parker still has a better chin than both of them

    Yes its blatantly obvious you don't like Wilder. If his chin is poor as you say, good punchers like Arreola, Stiverne and Ortiz would of have Wilder out of there over the many rounds that they fought him. Fighters get caught and even hurt in fights when was he knocked out or in real danger of getting knocked out outside of the last Fury fight. A older Arreola just dropped the "iron chinned" Ruiz and had him hurt several times, does that mean that Ruiz has a bad chin. No not all all. The weak punching former cruiser weight Cunningham had Fury on ***** street not to mention he was dropped my Wilder 2x, does that mean Fury has a bad chin or a 6...of course not. Where do you get that Ortiz has a weak Chin? Because he was ko'd by the biggest puncher in the division. I'm not quite getting your logic.
