it seemed like the first knockdown against Wilder in the 3rd effected Wilder the whole night, but some call him featherfisted
so is Fury considered a powerful puncher?

Fury wants wilder to praise his power like a boy wants his dad to praise him for being a good boy. But wilder should be careful saying fury is feather fisted. Because it's akin to wilder claiming his chin is made of porcelain -
I think he punches his weight but he's not a big puncher by the looks of it. It is so hard to tell at heavyweight since they can all punch obviously because they're f.ucking massive.
Someone like Joe Joyce's punches look slow but look at what even the jabs do. It probably needs to be shown when going up the levels but by no eye test would it look like much until your eyes look at the other dudes face.
Heavies are different.Comment

No he’s not “powerful” but he throws a lot from awkward angles and Wilder is not a defensive fighter. I see it like Andre Ward as in can’t knock ppl spark out but accumulation and shot placement matter too. Malik was trying to show him how to block shots between rounds. That’s troubling.Comment

He hits plenty hard enough obviously. He has only used this aggressive style in the last two fights. He came up trying to utilize movement and boxing and didnt emphasize power but still collected over 65% ko rate. Not bad for a guy who isnt looking for a stoppage as the path to victory first. He will continue to get stoppages but he doesnt have the mechanics of a traditional power puncher.Comment

I thought Furys technique looked a little poor tbh . He wasn’t as sharp and he wasn’t twisted into the shots much it was a lot of arm punching , But at the end of the day he’s still a huge fighter if he hits you right it’s going to hurt ,I think his left hand in southpaw stance is his hardest punch when he uses that angle . Yes he had a great round 11 but it took awhile to get there .Last edited by REDEEMER; 10-10-2021, 03:06 PM.Comment

Obviously at 277lbs you're gonna feel those shots, but he lacks proper explosive knockout power. Thats why I think its funny when people are doing the whole "only Fury could do that to Wilder" thing like everyone else is just an inanimate punchbag for Wilder to land on without presenting any offensive danger of their own.Comment

You don’t need to be particularly powerful when you’re a heavyweight
Ali was a dancer and could still knock greats out
Tyson is a giant heavyweight
his size alone grants him clubbing powerComment
