    To be fair John was screaming in Tyson's ear while Sugar was trying to get his message across, even twice telling Tyson the fight was won.

    Hill refused to even acknowledge that Usyk was the biggest challenge of his career. The guy isn't a great trainer; he is riding Steward's coattail.

    Fury’s “lack” of punching power is due to damaged hands. The ring finger on one of his right hand looks awkward. It looks like something that probably prevents him from making a solid fist.

    He has good power but great timing. That is the only time I have seen Usyk seriously hurt.
    Fury has a great uppercut probably the best in the heavyweight division.

    I dont think he's a big puncher however he did hurt usyk whenever he planted his feet and dug the right hand in either to body or head.

    Furys problem was he didn't plant his feet often enough and was forced to fight off the back foot by the constant pressure of usyk. He could cope with this for the first half of the fight but just as we saw agaislnst Bellew usyk can get outboxed early but his constant pressure eventually wears the opponent down and he took furys power from him.

    Usky is just an excellent fighter, fury when he did land Hurt him but he just wasn't allowed to be the aggressor.

    He's never been a huge puncher only a solid one, that's always been the case. Having said that he still likely broke Usyk's jaw, so he hits hard enough, it's just Usyk is one tough SOB.

    I rank him 7/10 for power, I think he has a 70% KO ratio.

    He was never a big puncher. But Usyk also has exceptional chin. And yesterday all the 'glass body' nonsense was destroyed. Fury tried his hardest and landed plenty of body shots and still it was him ending up beaten to a bloody pulp, needing the referee to save him.

    Joshua never once planted his feet, sat down on his power and hammered Usyk!
    That was the biggest criticism that he faced, his tactics were to box Usyk and beat him at his own game and that was never going to work vs the No1 IQ in all of boxing.

    So saying he ate flush shots from Joshua is correct but let’s not act as though Joshua was landing full on power shots because he wasn’t.

    No, it`s his body mechanics, he doesn`t get all his weight into all of his shots, he did land some good ones v Usyk but Usyk has a better chin than Whyte.

    Definitely doesn't lack power, Usyk is just too tough, he's been sent to hospital with a broken jaw!
