    How powerful is Tyson Fury compared to current and past heavyweights?

    How do you guys rank Tyson Fury's power compared to Wilder, AJ, Whyte and previous heavyweights?

    he doesn't hit that hard with single shots, mostly due to unorthadox form, he thows shots from off balance and out of position. When he does throw a shot with good form he has some power, but not huge power

    He has accumulative power though, chisoras face was messed up after 12 rounds, and he took 1 rounds of shots from the likes of Vitali with little to show for it.

      His legacy is yet to be written so it's hard to compare him to any past heavyweigths of note. The way he won the title seemed more like Wlad lost it that Fury won it.

      Having said that, I hope Fury has a relatively long title reign. Dude is entertaining as hell and the HW division definitely could use a guy like him.

        He's not much of a one punch guy however he has deceptive accumulative power.

              Valuev wasn't much of a puncher. As an above poster said, Fury throws his punches out of position and everything.

                Fury does have some power. I think the Klitschko fight was deceptive in that he stuck to a plan and didn't have to risk landing bombs.

                  I've watched his last fight and then some highlights. I don't want to call a champion like that but he seems have a great luck to be a champion with such skills.

                    Fury is apparently feather fisted but has still stopped 2/3 of his opponents. A feather fisted HW would be someone like Bryant Jennings. Fury doesn't need one punch KO power anyway. He's lost 1 round in his last three fights.
