Technically anyone that has good power can "hurt" someone with a great shot if they were given a "free" chance to put everything into it.
Problem is in boxing you don't get free shots against a skilled fighter so you lose that power trying to set up shots and being defensively responsible.
The better question would be "would Beterbievs power be as respected at Cruiserweight". You can't just conclude that he is a stronger puncher than guys at Cruiserweight.
no
sure there have been light heavyweight to heavyweight guys in the past but beterbiev is still at 175 as a 37 year old. Even someone like tarver and adamek who went to heavy late they were 2" taller than beterbiev
he is too small and especially for a monster like fury who has taken monster punchers like wilder and wlad to school
beterbiev could probably get some titles at cruiserweight. figure everyone at cruiserweight are all guys who's management/promoter/coaches ect arent confident enough they could beat the heavyweight champs, that is why cruiserweight is a weak division nearly all the time. All the top cruiserweights typically will atleast try for a heavy title.
Beterbiev definitely isn't rehydrating 25 lbs overnight.
Probably hovering around 185-190? Some of the legendary hitters of the past century were that weight.
Being h8t is not nice. Tyson wouldn't like to be hit by him. Not sure he'd ko fury though. But a cumulative for sure he could ko tyson. But no-one hits fury enough
Maybe if he wasn't almost 40? Vitali was a big hitter. Hit him with a few solid shots, he endured. People are naive thinking Beterbiev will go up to heavy. I'm a fan of small heavys but he is just too old
lets not go down the canelo alvarez route where someone beats up a fringe level fighter and suddenly becomes superman and beats every other fighter in history like im seeing in other threads today
Well said , this coming from a huge Beterbiev fan
This goes back over a hundred years. Dempsey brutalized Willard though the size difference wasn't as severe. Beterbiev is probably reaching 200 pounds on fight night. Any puncher that size would hurt any human. Thing is, Beterbiev wouldn't lay a glove on Fury so it's a pointless question.

Im not one for being a dick on forums but people like OP ask the stupidest questions. Whats next? Would Tank’s power trouble Beterbiev? Would Spence’s power trouble Wilder? Would Monster Inoue’s power trouble Golovkin. Jesus Christ you guys are retarded with some of the questions

No, the size difference is too much. Unless you expect Fury to close his eyes, put his hands behind his back and ask Beterbiev to chin him, I would not expect Beterbiev's power to "trouble" Fury.
