    Look at it this way,a 9mm can penetrate objects further than many other larger calibers because of the same exact thing,the object is flying faster.
    Tyson Fury does not hit anywhere near as hard as Wilder, with a single punch.

    It is not debatable, you clearly have a agenda 'Which you are trying to project out into the boxing community' I have notice this phenomenon before, and it mostly always involves Tyson Fury's fanatics 'Fury gains credit from a lot of things he has not achieved, due to stories people make up'.

    Tyson Fury has knocked nobody out at elite level, the last person he stopped legitimately was Steve USS Cunningham.

    Tyson Fury is 270 + pounds, was landing multiple punches on Wilder who weigh's 40 pounds less 'And still he could not take him out'.

    That is a clear indication, clear sign that his baseline power is under par for his size.

      Not all of Wilder's punches are hard.

      Only the right hand is devastating. WHY? Because he puts a lot of momentum behind it. The right hand is not delivered from a straight standing position but it comes from far behind and comes at a great speed. And Wilder has trained himself to be fully committed behind that punch with power and speed. Tyson used to bend his knee to get that leverage behind his shots. Foreman had a very heavy hand.

      Mass, force, speed, distance, and torque are important components of a power shot and all power hitters combine a subset of these in different ways.

        you're speaking of ancient celtic magic, which is n/a today. only the romani gypsies stick to their old traditions and that is why they are known for 'magic'. the irish travellers allude to romani culture/magic all the time eg when ******* saunders's dad said 'there's gypsy magic in the air'.

          Didn't fury say he hits harder than wilder in triology?

            It's not just about size. Earnie Shavers and Mike Tyson were both small heavyweights too, even for their eras. A lot of it seems to be genetics - i.e.: how many type 2 muscle fibers you happen to be born with, how much leverage your particular skeleton can generate, etc. I'm sure part of it is learned too - how to throw your arm with total abandon, rotate your shoulders just right. But I've heard a lot of trainers say that punchers are born, not made.

              I've noticed that Fury lies about everything except what he's going to do in a fight. At the presser for this one Sugarhill said he had corrected Fury's punching technique and Fury keeps saying he's seeking an early knockout. Nobody believed him when he said he'd fight off the front foot last time- we'll see I guess.
