Wilder for example punches so hard because he is wiry! I used to spar a guy like that in karate and it was like fighting a pole with whips!! Fury has a real sense of angles and precision in his punches. He will not, however be a one punch guy.
2) Fury used this tune up like a fighter should. He worked on all aspects of his game. Who really cares if he looked spectacular and I would argue he did look spectacular is many respects. That knockdown was a beautiful shot....his mobility was excellent. He also used good defensive skills. His corner was asking him to pick punches off when he parried, something that fighters used to do and only athetically gifted guys like Roy Jones have done in modern times.
All these skills will serve him well....Big picture is that when considering the untangibles in a Klitschko fight, one can parley Fury's lack of experience with his well roundedness. Klitschko will have trouble catching a mobile Fury. Fury can fight him inside and....eventually may be able to counter Klitschko.
