    According to many who have sparred both, Fury hits as hard or harder than Joshua, and I fully agree. Fury fighting on the front foot like he did against Wilder, knocks out anyone Joshua has beaten. Wilder obviously hits a lot harder, but Wilder is in a league of his own for power, I'd say followed by David Price's right hand, then Fury, Joshua, and a few others similar. Look how many big shots Takam walked through from Joshua, excluding the early flash knockdown. If not for the terrible hometown stoppage, that was going the distance, yet Chisora completely bombed Takam out.

      You could argue it the other way though; Who has Wilder fought that you thought, ok, this guy can stop Wilder, other than Fury or Ortiz (at a push)?

          You obviously haven't seen Fury fight too much, he put Wilder over with a single right hand and HURT him.

          He has stopped others in their tracks or hurt them with single punches. Normally his left hand out of the southpaw stance.

          He wore down and stopped Chisora and Hammer, some really big punchers have not been able to do that since.
          Didn't both retire on their stool?

          The very definition of being beaten by accumulation, rather than stunned by power.

          Fury's 270 pounds - he can hurt you if he wants to. But the vast majority of the time he's not committing to shots in that way. He doesn't need to when he has height and reach over every man he faces.

          The first time against Wilder he was happy clipping him from range.

          The second time he was happy to get in close, use his size and weight, and push punches rather than try to knock him out.

          Fury isn't fighting anyone at mid range and exchanging shots.

            I rate his power as good enough to stop afrocentric racists like Wilder. That white power was too much for the supposed black excellence .

              Pretty sure Wilders corner stopped Wilder, because Fury couldn't and everyone wanted to go home.

                I agree, go back and ready my original reply/convo.

                I'm not sure which part you're debating
