I think people really need to start giving Fury some respect for his chin and his ability to get back up after almost getting iced. Ortiz got one-punched with a short right hand to the forehead while
Fury was hit with a lunging right and left combo to the side of his face. Ortiz struggled to get back up while Fury came back up as if he was late for work.
People are so hyped up about Wilder's KO over Ortiz and think that he'll do the same to Fury when we all saw that Fury can take Wilder's best shot. I think this is a testament by Fury's chin and toughness. Would not surprise me if Fury outboxes him and manages to last the distance again with Wilder.
I actually think Fury can stop Wilder.
BUT he has to fight the right fight. I think that trying to get inside and pressure Wilder is very high risk but might be the only way to stop him. I am not sure, but I can’t say that I’ve ever seen anyone try. Remember how GGG was this invincible scary puncher until Canelo pushed him back? Fury did that for a bit in the 12th round. I’m not saying he wins the rematch, as I think Wilder may beat all the top heavyweights right now... that said, he’s human, and is technically beatable.
I don't think the shot Wilder landed on Ortiz was that strong...Ortiz just didn't see it coming...and those always hurt the most by far...so yeah I would say Fury's chin is better than Ortiz's but I think a lot of what it was with Fury was he was at least able to see the shots that put him down at the last second and brace for them a bit.
I can't think of any HW right now who I really think has a great chin.
Nobody else thinks that Fury could last the distance against Wilder a second time? I think it's highly possible, so long as he doesn't start clowning and putting his hands to his side.
Fury is tough as hell
He’s been dropped before but always gets up on stable legs and clear minded
Anyone can get dropped with the right shot, but it’s how you recover from shots
I agree with this. Fury deserves credit for getting up where others haven't had the ability or guts to do so.
