    Joshua couldn't KO Parker, 2x Ruiz and Usyk. He also couldn't KO Breazeale despite his hundreds landed punches. Wilder one shotted and almost killed Breazeale with one punch.

    Anyway, Fury is becoming a huge puncher imo. He had very hard punches in Wilder 2-3. Who has more powerful punches "currently"?

    Fury could not finish Wilder that had wobbly legs from 4th round to 11th round.

    Fury don't have that kind of power, but has skills to compensate

    Why the **** is this even a thread?

    Joshua is obviously the more powerful puncher. Look how long it took Fury to finish Wilder off.

    Do you think Joshua would have taken that long?

    For Joshua, evading Wilder's right hands would be more of an Issue, but if he has Wilder hurt, his combinations would have Wilder down and out a lot quicker.

    Do you think Fury would be able to do to Wlad what Joshua did? Of course not.

    How can a 277 lbs 6' 9'' not have powerful punches? Fury is a giant, he knocked out another giant Wilder.

    Fury can knock out all heavyweights.

    And Fury has a larger frame than Joshua, he is definitely stronger than him.

    AJ hits harder obviously.

    Fury didnt magically become a big puncher all of a sudden, Wilder is just extremely defensively vulnerable. I think that will become very clear when Fury fights somebody else ranked in the top 10.

    This Fury (although I would argue that he would be advised to come in in better shape) would quite clearly KO 2017 Klitschko - no doubt about it. Like Joshua, it doesn't take much to get Klitschko to do a funny dance.

    Klitschko was knocked out and seriously wobbled by mediocre opposition and even jabs.

    A 277lb man took 11 rounds to stop a chinny guy who was exhausted and had zero defense for most of the fight.

    Joshua hits harder, obviously

    Yeah but I think his chin got better as time went on personally, he did something to strengthen himself.

    Joshua caught Wlad with some nasty punches and he still got up 3 times. Some people may say it's because Joshua isn't that powerful, but I think it's just Wlad being a monster with an underrated chin personally.

    I think Fury could KO wlad, but it would be a TKO, I don't think he could knock out Wlad. It would be because fully fit Fury would be landing far too often on 2017 Wlad, and the ref may stop it. He'd lead on wlad, tire him out and be landing too often.

    Ref would waive it or corner would throw in the towel.

    No, it took him a lot of shots to stop Wilder because he has poor form and punch mechanics, he`s heavy handed but his punches often don`t land clean, he wore Wilder down and Wilder gassed and then he landed a big shot, he`s not a one punch KO artist, AJ`s punches are cleaner.

    No way does Fury hit as hard as Foreman or Shavers did, Shavers shots were sharp and vicious with snap, Fury`s right hand is awkward and his left hook is just a slap, Ali would have laughed off his punches, McCall wouldn`t have taken then too, as would a prime Holmes, Fury is massively overrated now.

    So how did he knock down a giant like Wilder with a single punch? (volume up please):

    Klitschko was absolutely staggered and did a funny dance from a Pulev jab ffs. That was in 2014. Joshua is powerful, but he's not that powerful. His uppercuts are hilariously overrated. Fanboys would have you believe the uppercut he hit Klitschko with was his best ever punch, it didn't even put the old glass jaw down.
