    Tyson Fury has a much better chin than Wladimir Klitschko

    There is some misconception on this forum that Klitschko's chin is better than Fury's.

    Klitschko has been knocked down 13 times and KO'd on three occasions

    Fury has only been decked 2 times and has never been KO'd.

    Fury along with the size, mobility and far more well rounded and varied skillset has the harder chin. He also has the bigger heart as he is willing to go to the trenches on the inside, something that Klitschko doesn't have the skill to do and has never been willing to do since his last KO loss.

    If anybody is going to get stopped it's far more likely to be Klitschko.

    Well Wlad has had about 3X as many pro fights leading to more chances for him to get hurt. How about total KDs in their last 15 fights?

        Tyson has had 24 pro fights. By his 25th pro fight Klitschko had been knocked down 3 times and KO'd.

        He maybe more experienced now but his chin is still the same as it was all those years ago.
        He doesn't take any more chances and just fouls and leans all over his opponents like he did against Povetkin when he leaned on him 189 times. If he actually engaged with Povetkin and others, he would have gotten KO'd again.
        He won't be able to hold and lean on the bigger and much better inside fighter like Fury. If he tries that he's going to be eating uppercuts and bodypunches
        I can easily see Fury out boxing Wlad at range with his much longer jab and fast combinations.
        I can also easily see Wlad being overworked and gassing out trying to match Fury's pace and getting stopped. Many ways for the bigger and more naturally talented and skilled Fury to win.

        I don't expect this fight to ever happen though.

          Fury has been buzzed by bums, and dropped by a light-hitting cruiserweight. His chin isn't good either.

            I can't believe this is every a serious topic for discussion.

            Klitschko is a world class athlete. The dominant Heavyweight champion of the world
            Fury is a nobody, a joke, a sideshow, a bum.

            I mean, get real people. This thread is insulting to human intelligence

              Who has Fury really fought?

              He always ends up looking clumsy, uncoordinated, and only displaying basic boxing skills.

                  Wlad was dropped by heavy handed fighters. Pajkic & Cunningham are not exactly known for being heavy handed.

                    He always ends up looking clumsy, uncoordinated, and only displaying basic boxing skills.
                    He KO'd iron chinned Steve Cunningham(whose never been KO'd before or since) Kevin Johnson, Derek Chisora 2x(who Wlad ducked) etc.
                    He was supposed to fight David Haye but Haye pulled out of the fight 2x by faking injuries.
                    He performed much better against Johnson and Chisora than Vitali did.
                    He can string together fast combinations and throws from many angles, very active hard body puncher(he broke up Hammer's ribs forcing him to quit).
                    His stamina is fantastic for a HW. Throws 70/80 punches a round without a problem. Could easily fight a 15 round fight.
                    He's far more loose than Wlad who fights like a stiff robot. Under trainer Peter Fury his footwork and defense have improve tremendously to the point that he is nearly unhittable now.
                    He's one of the only HWs in boxing history who can fight both orthodox and southpaw at world level with equal efficiency
                    His punching power is also very underrated. He has a 75% KO and Johnson said Fury hit harder than Vitali.

                    As Wlad's N.1 mandatory he's gunning for his opportunity to take the titles away from him. Hopefully he doesn't avoid Fury for a 3rd time but i think he will.
