    Sure Fury has some weaknesses, but I haven't noticed them. Still, I'm a below-average connoisseur of boxing, and I'll enjoy the topic :)

    None

    His high mileage body will become a weakness soon. Still has his speed and stamina, once they go that's all she wrote.

    People confuse chin with recovery I think. He has a good chin, but the best recovery possibly in boxing ever.
    He's able to be knocked down. But will never stay down

    I'm interested how he fairs against someone with faster foot and/or hand speed than him like Usyk or even Ruiz. I don't buy this ''moves like a welterweight/middleweight'' stuff because unlike 99% of Fury's fanbase I actually watch welterweight and middleweight fights. Fury's movement is undeniably agile for such a big man, but he's going to look even better given the big men he's fighting. The Usyk fight will be a major litmus test for whether Fury is as well-rounded as him and his fans like to believe

    When Usyk beats him we can write a whole essay on it

    Lapses in concentration. That's likely to be what gets him one day, if he meets somebody who is able to follow up on an initial success.

    If anyone is going to give fury problems right now it’s usyk. Completely unorthodox, throws punches from weird angles and at different times. If only usyk was bigger and hit harder he may be able to stop fury.

    Yes. Wilder for all his power is a poor finisher, he depends on one shot to get a guy outta there. The Fury who rose off the mat in their first fight was a sitting duck and Wilder seemingly had no clue how to proceed. Great finishers after they drop a guy will generally slam a hook to the body to bring the hands down. Wilder throws about as many body shots as seasons in the year.

    He preemptively clinches too much instead of using lateral movement to keep an opponent at a preferred distance nowadays, a tactic probably picked up from the Emmanuel Steward knockoff. As mentioned earlier he can have lapses in concentration which gives the opponent opportunities to land shots they normally wouldn’t. Even Chisora was able to get a few looping rights in because Fury got a bit careless.

    For me it’s his chin.

    He has shown on a number of occasions he can be hurt.

    He does recover well and has lots of heart though.
