He seems to be believing in his own KO power a lot since the last fight but has his power actually improved much? It seems like it was more shot placement than sheer force that won the fight last time. Wilder was done but he never actually got put out.

For his size it's pathetic. Wilder was struggling with gravity for 3 rounds and Fury couldn't finish him. He hit Wallin with every shot he could muster and didn't do **** to him. -
Pound for pound Fury is not a hard hitter....but he is still a 275 pound man. The late fight is where Fury's power really saps. He is a stamina attrition fighter. He will beat you up slowly which is actually worse than getting flat KO'd.
His straight right is pretty weak
His head hooks are weak
His new stiff arm jab is strong, a really nice punch. One of the best jabs I've ever seen at HW, if he can showcase that against more competition it will go down as one of the best jabs ever. He also can throw his jab numerous ways.
His hooks to the body are his most natural punches & well put together punches, he can get some weight and leverage behind them.
& his overhand right is his most powerful punch.
Takes more work to setup these kind of punches, the straight right and powerful lead hooks are the typical knockout punches and sadly Fury doesn't have the gift of power with them.
If Fury hit hard he'd be a totally unbeatable force H2H. You can't have everything.
Mental & physical pressure is where Fury stops opponents. He'd have to walk a tired Wilder into his overhand right to knock him flat out. Something Fury will be working on for their 3rd bout.Comment

interesting factoid: Big men don't tend to be devistating punchers. For a big men Fury actually has decent power. Think about some big guys at heavyweight: Valuev, Canera, Bone Crusher, etc... That smoking hot female boxer who hit the punching machine in Vegas and broke it? She was 150ish pounds and probably generates what Fury does! (kidding).Comment

If David Price had Fury's stamina, he would of been world champion.
I still have no idea why Price's stamina is so below par, because by all accounts he is very disciplined in training.
Surprised he himself, has not had such a situation investigated.
Price holds himself back, because of his stamina.Comment

I would say he hits as hard as Floyd did at 140-47. You can't sleep on his power and he can hurt you if you take liberties. He will stop some guys through accumulation and breaking them down - his main issue is not completely power in my opinion, its more to do with technique and his delivery. He is not an overly gifted offensive fighter (crazy to say, but true).
He is also a left handed orthodox fighter, guys like Barrera and Oscar who were the same had great jabs and carried good power in their left hook, Fury has a great jab but for whatever reason doesn't have the left hook.
Having said all of that he hits plenty hard enoughComment

Let's deal purely with facts:
1. Fury is the only fighter in 40 fights to KO the 2x world cruiserweight champion Cunningham (210 lbs) and did so in the 7th round
2. Fury retired the highly durable journeymen Chisora (241.5 lbs) and Hammer (248 lbs, dropped him in the 5th) in the 10th and 8th rounds respectively while fighting on the backfoot
3. Fury had the undefeated, 5 year reigning world heavyweight champion Wilder (231 lbs) legitimately on the canvas 3 times prior to the 7th round TKO and became the only fighter to stop him in 44 fights
4. Fury typically fights on the backfoot, doesn’t load up on his punches and has been happy to go to points to mitigate risk and reduce damage taken (and occasionally to gain match fitness or play possum for future opponents)
5. Fury still has a 68% KO ratio over 25 fights against 215+ lbs opponents: greater than Whyte, Parker and Ruiz, while facing higher quality oppositionLast edited by NEETzschean; 06-02-2021, 12:11 AM.Comment
