    Decent puncher when he sits down on them but nothing special.

      He has marshmallows for fists and that's why he can only KO bums or guys like Wilder who have grade A glass jaws

        But he could wobble Wilder in the first fight and stops him in the second fight.

        Sometimes Fury takes fights as sparring sessions fighting of the back foot.

        I think when Fury is in war mode and loads his punches with his 275 pounds he is a pretty hard/heavy handed hitter.

        That right hand that dropped Wilder and that body punch that lifted Wilder were pretty bad a77.

          He hits pretty hard, not the snappier puncher but he does damage, in the second Chisora fight he absoloutley mashed chisora's face up with basically just the jab.

            He is neither explosive nor heavy-handed. He also doesn't throw punches with excellent technique (leverage).

                He has no major power on his head hooks or straight right

                His new power jab is monsterous. 274 pounds behind a stiff arm.

                His best power punches are his overhand right and hooks to the body.

                Fury has always been an accumulation fighter. He can hold pace for 12 rounds which no heavyweight can do.

                  Of course he isn’t heavy handed. A 67% KO ratio for a heavyweight fed largely on bums apart from 2 names proves it.

                  Of course he ‘hits hard’ to the average person, he’s a giant. But in the realm of heavyweight boxing punchers he’s nowhere.

                    Wladimir Kiltschko backed Tyson Fury up all night, non-stop for 12 rounds 'Fury's power could not really deter Kiltschko'.

                    I think Tyson Fury's power is not terrible, but for his size? It has been quite under par etc

                    Right now as we speak? Fury for the first time in his career 'Has a intimidation factor'. Before Wilder II, no real top heavyweight was fearing facing Fury 'Because he was more of a Riddler type of fighter, somebody who was going to bamboozle you and steal the fight'.

                    But this perception has now universally change since, he beat Deontay Wilder in their rematch 'Now people claim that Tyson Fury is some sort of wrecking machine, the second coming of Mike Tyson'.

                    Note: Anthony Joshua's intimidation factor has went down, while Tyson Fury's has slightly increased among their fellow competitors.

                      Fury hits herd but he's certainly not an explosive power puncher. I'll have to admit thought that he can slap super quick and make it sting.
