    BTW...what's your definition of "chinny"?
    I just watched the Pajkic fight to remind myself. Yeah, as you say, I think the point with Fury is that although he has been knocked down, he has gotten back up and recovered very well each time

      Champions and top contenders at HW are highly likely to hit the floor more than those at lower weights, it's obvious, these are big strong men, that can punch hard. The human skull can only take so much. None of these are chinny. Fury has a really good chin, not Canelo, Golovkin level, but not too far off and has arguably the best recovery and recovery instinct in boxing. Wilder has a good chin, and a inner willingness to ride it out. Joshua has to this, but has slower recovery time, he was a sitting duck against Wlad for around 6 minutes, jelly legs for long times against Ruiz and shook to his boots against Whyte, also Povetkin had him dancing for a bit off a left hook. The whole HW is chinny thing is always exaggerated. Is Lewis chinny? because of his two KO losses, Foreman because Ali knocked him out? Ali down many times. It's HW boxing, these guys can ****. David Price is chinny, even in HW terms as anything that lands on him can out him in massive trouble, the other guys are not in that category.

        All heavyweights are "chinny." It's inevitable when you have fighters that big. They can all knock each other out.

            Lol, top 3 might be chinny, but, man, they all beat Hrgovic, I guarantee you that. Hrgovic is big mouth without any good wins and he looks very slow.

            I am not even sure Hrgovic beats Wallin. Fury beat Wallin about 10-2 in rounds.

            At hw everybody is "chinny" when facing top competition. That is because how big and strong they are. Kownacki also looked safe when he fought Washington, Szpilka.

            Give this Hrgovic guy somebody that can actually punch, Kiladze, Price, Helenius, Dinu. Hrgovic never faced any puncher as a pro.

              I agree they're all chinny but it's the heavyweight division. Everybody has to be careful, everybody has enough power to hurt everybody else.

                It is easy to look good when you face bad competition. Man, Kownacki was stopped by a journeyman that is not even a true contender. So you actually hype Hrgovic for beating guys like Johnson, Mansour..?

                    he looks solid against bums and club level fighters. Price was unbeaten when he fought at that level.

                    Man, everybody looks solid against bad opponents.

                      All heavyweights are chinny because all heavyweights hit hard. Even the ones that don't have a high KO ratio.

                      Also heavyweights have gotten a lot bigger than they were in the past so it kind of goes hand in hand that they likely hit harder on "average". For instance 6'3" 220lb "Big" George Foreman is not so big compared to today's standards. He is about Oleksandr Usyk's size.
