I think Fury's power is the type that makes you respect it without necessarily being in awe of it. Fighters don't just walk Fury down the way they would a lesser punching fighter, at least not after a few rounds have passed. He's like Ward and Mayweather in a way, in that he won't likely put your lights out or even seriously rock you, but he has just enough snap to put you in fear that either thing might happen if you're not careful. He's heavier handed than either guy relative to his weight class, as evidenced by the marking he puts on fighters' faces, but the type of mental demoralising and second guessing he makes fighters go through is very similar, I believe.
That's why I can't get behind anyone who thinks that fighters like AJ and Wilder will just walk Fury down and knock him out. These people display their ignorance of boxing with statements like these, as they clearly underestimate how difficult it is to walk forward on a fighter like Fury, or how much damage they're likely to ship if they do so.
I've reiterated my view Fury would likely stop AJ and Wilder, look if Whyte and Molina can hurt and tag these guys Fury sure as shyt can.
I'd like to point out I'm not trying to discredit Fury I just believe Wlad will beat him in the rematch, in the event Fury wins I'm not sure anyone can defeat him in the division, sure AJ could knock him out I just don't believe he has the skill set to implement it, as for Wilder ? The less I say the better or I am making the division sound even worse than some perceive it to be.
The main threats to the Fury I see are Ortiz and Pulev, these two I absolutely believe would bowl over AJ and Wilder yet I'm no means certain they could beat Fury, as far as I am concerned the only man capable is Klitschko right now unless Fury forgot his entire boxing tutelage and stood in front of AJ.
