    KOing Whyte and Wilder twice isn't a testament to how hard Fury hits, it's a testament to how chinny Wilder and Whyte both are. Fury couldn't put a dent in Pianeta or Wallin, and never really rocked or dropped the corpse of Chisora, something that even Parker, perhaps the most featherfisted HW period was able to do. Face it, his punching power is vastly overrated.

    No one wants to go the distance with a glass jaw like Pianeta for ****s and giggles... so yes, of course he was trying to hurt him.

    Or Chisora , as he was holding up old "mate" as he can knock him out in first round if desired. Other user (moderator) has agenda. He knows this , as he is huge fan of boxing. Anyone can see this.

    This is not solid rationalization. How you know he doesn't want rounds , after out of ring for 3 year , and with Wilder fight in pipe line ? It is poor argument , sorry.

    I wasn't talking about Fury. You think I'm one of them sick Fury fanboys? Talking about having Ruiz Jr below Usyk on power.

    Letting a man who got TKO'd by Kevin Johnson and KO1'd by the shell of Chagaev, see the final bell, is a blight on anyone's resume. Sure, he wanted to get some rounds in. But still, he couldn't get the stoppage with him or with Wallin. Even with his recent outing against Chisora, teeing off on him, and nothing. That was pitiful. He isn't heavy handed as most of you seem to think, face facts.

    Ruiz couldn't stop an ancient Ortiz, the shell of the shell of the shell of Arreola, Liakhovich, Zumbano or Lawrence. He landed the perfect shot to the temple of AJ and concussed him, effecting his equilibrium. It happens. But if you want to use that as an example, are you also saying Derek Edwards hits harder than Adonis Stevenson and Ilunga Makabu? Because he flatlined Badou Jack and they could barely put a dent into him. Boxing doesn't work that way and you know it. So yeah Usyk probably hits harder than Ruiz.

    I think one of the strengths of Tyson Fury is that he is a very good boxer that is also very big and heavy. He doesn’t need to sit on every punch to make it do damage. If a guy that big keeps jabbing you in the face you are going to feel it.

    I think Joshua packs more one punch power then Tyson Fury. But only when he dedicates himself to throwing his punches properly. If Tyson Fury chooses to nonchalantly throw his punches half ass they are still going to do damage.

    The one thing with a Joshua vs Wilder fight is, what if Joshua lands that proper punch? Wilder went down on Tyson Fury’s shots. So if he goes down on a hard shot of Joshua will he get up?

    Ofcourse Wilder is the hardest puncher and I expect him to beat Joshua.
