Going by the eye test you can say he has good power, especially when you look at the speed that he possesses. The only issue is, he needs to do it to the bigger names like he did to Joshua. Let’s see if he can stop the bigger names, or the ones with a good chin.
    AJ isn't chinny like you're making out the guy took big right from Wlad and recovered and remained standing after on of Whytes best left hook. Povetkin was tagging him at will and it barely phased AJ.

    Punch placement seemed to be a bigger factor in the AJ KO and after the first punch he was done.

    Ruiz isn't the hardest hitter he possibly has the fastest short combo's but can't utilise his weight due to it largely being fat and him being shorter than other guys having to somewhat puch against it.

    Taller guys like AJ and Wilder also have more leverage and more time to accelerate the fist due a considreably larger reach with more weight distributed closer to their fist (not there waist) acting more like a hammer.

        That’s a good thought. One-punch knockout power is very rare, even in professional boxing. Most fighters just don’t have it. Even GGG, who hits quite hard, does not really have one punch knockout power. Joe Louis did, in spades. Probably the greatest heavyweight who ever lived.

                  Fury is a Heavyweight who moves like a Middleweight.

                  Andy is a Middleweight who eats like a Heavyweight.
