    Better chin? Wilder or Joshua?

    A lot of you AJ fanboys kept bringing up the Sconiers fight and insisted Wilder was packing glass.

    Have your opinions on that changed any?

    They've both been dropped stunned and staggered before that's what makes their potential fight so freakin exciting. That'd be the best Heavyweight in a long ass time.

      Wilder. Joshua got dropped by an ATG puncher in Wlad, and it was a straight punch with full force of bodyweight behind it, and Ortiz staggered Wilder and a barrage of punches didn't put him down.

      Wilder has a better chin, but Joshua has a good chin also.

        I’ve seen Joshua take huge punches from a Klitschko - a proven elite world class puncher. He went down once, but continued to take punches and stood up right.

        Wilder got rocked by Eric Molina, journeymen and was hurt badly yesterday.

        Joshua has a more sturdy chin imo.

        However, both have weaknesses and both have massive hearts.

          I had to rub my eyes when I saw Wilder, just to make sure I wasn't watching a rerun of Oliver McCall.

          The way he hung on and was spaghetting around on rubber legs like a prime RJJ was something to behold.

          The guy has an iron chin, no doubt. The way he was still completely out of it a minute later.... the powers of recovery are spectacular.

            ****, I clicked Wilder in this poll, I meant to say AJ.

            Not that AJ is exactly Mr. Durable either.

            But really, "best chin" is kind of a moot point in their fight, innit? Either could take the other out, and a "great chin" doesn't come into that.

              Pretty even. Neither have great chins, and at HW that means you will be hurt if you cop a big shot.

              Both will KO the other one if they land right.

                Good points. And Wilder has the edge in the power department. They'll both be hitting the canvas when they finally meet up.

                  Possibly. But power is just one aspect of boxing.

                  After seeing Wilder again yesterday, I’m reminded by how confident I always was that AJ would do him quickly.

                    Wilder didn’t hit the deck even after taking way more punishment.
                    Ortiz
                    I think the body punches Ortiz put on him during that flurry in the seventh were critical.
                    Wilder recovered middle of the eight though.
                    AJ hit the floor against a shot Klitschko
