    Good vid examining the evidence on whether any of these guys are chinny compared to one another etc.

    Wilder has never been legitimately down in his entire career, as opposed to the other 2.

    Hmmm, they all have great chins to be honest. Maybe it boils down to Wlad vs Wilder punch power...

    Wilder caught Fury with two punches in total as Fury dropped.

    I am going to go with Fury.

    God knows what it will take to put that man down for good lol

    Yes, but that's not the pro ranks.

    Do you think it makes a difference? Physiologically.

    It`s a chin test though and Wilder has been decked and stopped as an amateur.

    I'd go with Fury. He got up sharper from that 2nd knockdown than a bloke when he hears his Missus unlock his phone !

    Joshua and fury both packing glass, wilder so far seems to have a good chin.

    Fury gets a lot of abuse for his KDs in the pros. But here's another way to look at it. He's taken big shots from Price in the ams without being stopped, big shots from Wlad without being stopped, now big shots from Wilder without being stopped and by his account he ate big shots from AJ in a sparring and fought through that. So he's the only guy to have been clipped by basically the biggest punchers in the division and absorbed all so far. Chin must be half decent at least.

    I'd say Fury's chin is on the weaker side. He's been dropped by Pajkic, Cunningham and Wilder, and rocked by Chisora.

    Wilder hasn't really faced anyone with the power of Wlad and/or himself (surprisingly enough) otherwise it could be a different story

    Definitely don't think wilder is chinny as some people think though

    To Wilder’s credit he definitely doesn’t have a bad chin, none of them do. I wouldn’t say any are granite but they’re good. Fury’s recovery is ridiculous which is the difference, who would have had him coming back into the round after a knockdown like that - AJ would have been holding on for all he’s worth.
