    Wow 2 days later and you are still banging on about Steve Cunninghan. Watch the fight and tell me if Cunninghan could have landed a harder shot.

    Yes some heavyweights hit harder then others but that is true of every weight class. What is not true is that there are light hitting heavyweights - even the lighter hitters at the weight still hit hard.

    Is Povetkin a puncher? He couldn't stop Huck like Cunningham did.

    Yeah baby! Sorry everyone can't see it. You should also add that Fury also walked in towards the shots when they landed. And by doing so, he added even more impact power to the punches. When he was caught by Chisora he was stepping back instead = less power.

    Cunningham could KO everybody in heavyweight besides maybe a very few men if he was allowed to - load up a perfectly overhand right - on an unprotected chin - from the right angle - and against a guy coming forward: the result's knockdown.

    Also Cunningham at heavyweight punches harder than what he did at Cruiser. Same goes for Ali, his chin and power went up as he gained in size and strength later on.

    Skill is chin, when Tyson or Ali didn't allow there opponents to punch them straight on target as clean or as often as necessary; they wouldn't go down. Foreman couldn't put down Ali, and Chisora could't put down Fury because of the skill set (future)champions possess.
