    Fury also got knocked down by a former cruiserweight.

    Fury got up from Wilder’s shots and beat him up. None of the chinny Americans have done that.

      Never knocked cold so I guess this is a good candidate. Has been knocked out three times though.
      Well they were stoppages to save him from himself because he was too tough for his own good with a granite chin but obviously taking punishment internally.

      He’s never been actually knocked out

          No British boxers have decent chins. Centuries of inbreeding to keep their blood pure have caused them to collapse the moment anything touches their jaw.

            Fury will outweigh him by between 30-40 pounds in the rematch too.

            Wilder is a smaller human

              Allen said in an interview he only ever got knocked out once, which was in sparring at the beginning of his career. He also said he doesn't remember it happening so he doesn't include it

                Possibly an issue if Prince Charles laced up.

                  Doesn't matter, Wilder was severely underweight, when has being under weight EVER benefitted a fighter and not hurt them?

                  If Wilder was 220+ like he was pre-injury and he hit Fury, he's not waking up.

                    Anyone can get dropped with the right shot, even if they’re not hurt as such. Carl Froch was known to have a granite chin but was dropped by Taylor and Groves. Taylor was a blown up middleweight.

                    Fury has been dropped but got up and was clear and took the fight to the opponent. So that is a solid chin.

                    A weak chin stays hit.

                    Ali was known to have a great chin but was floored by journeyman Wepner..

                      Pretty much every HW boxer in the world has been knocked down at least once.
