I suspect that all the hard hitting heavyweights have roughly, similar power. There's too much talk of certain guys being extraordinarily more powerful than other guys. Sure, there is a range of power and strength, but none of these heavyweights are weak punchers. All boxers have their methodology to their attack. Some attacks are slow and thudding, while others are fast and surprising. There's a whole range of styles of power and attack.

I'd imagine Wilder has more 1 punch power. However with the exception of Stiverne, Wilder's never really knocked out a world champion of any kind. He's knocked out 2 people inside the top 10? (Ortiz and Stiverne) Everyone's power looks enormous, until you start stepping up the competition. A cruiserweight dropped and put fury on wobbly legs, I don't remember Wilder doing the same - Fury was entirely lucid and coherent when he got up.Comment

I'd say any hard punching heavyweight would be able to knockout the majority of Wilder's opponents if they too landed a right hand that is corked back as far as Wilder's usually is.Comment

You also fail to mention that Jack Reiss admitted he didn’t follow protocol and did it for the spirit of the sport and not to protect the fighter!
The referee’s job isn’t about the spirit of the sport but about following protocol and protecting the fighters which if Fury came out in bad shape then everyone including you would say Reiss should’ve called it off!
Also, false cuz other refs have said that Jack Reiss didn’t follow protocol and that most would’ve ended the fight after the way Fury got put down and how long his eyes was in the back of his head!
Reiss has also been doing a horrible job lately reffing fights, he’s either stopped it unreasonably when a fighter is up and block punches with his gloves , or when a fighter who’s winning every round gets hurt once and stops the fight with a couple seconds left and then stops the fight when a fighter has been knocked down in the most non lethal way but allowed it to continue when they were nearly laid out!
Reiss isn’t a good alibi on the truth which is that most refs would’ve stopped the fight when a fighter is punched twice with one coming as they go down and lands square on the head with their eyes in their head for nearly over 4 seconds!Comment

Jack Reiss is a world class referee and knew exactly what he was doing. He was in the locker rooms before the fight and gave his instructions, regarding the fight and how he'll treat knockdowns to both camps. This was a heavyweight title fight between two champions and would have given either every opportunity to carry on, especially if it's in the last round and the fighter knocked down was dominating the fight. Reiss knew exactly how Fury reacts to knock downs, watch in the Cunningham fight he takes a little break, recollects himself and gets back up, he did exactly the same thing in the 1st knockdown against Wilder. Fury was listening to Reiss and the count very well and timed himself to perfection, he got up pretty quick once he was ready and didn't look on wobbly legs or anything of that nature. The count by Reiss was perfect as well, I've seen conspritards put a stopwatch to count long he was down until he was up and at most it was maybe half a second over 10 seconds, pretty impressive for a referee to be that accurate. Fury made full use of the break, got up just in time and proceeded to beat down Wilder.Comment
