    Thats fine by me everyone thinks his only chance to win is by UD but i dont believe that their is a good chance for me he stops Wilder.

    Fury can punch he is not pillow fisted people saying this will be in for a rude awakening

    In the first fight he hurt and rocked Wilder 3 times in the fight...................

    Fury knocked down and stopped hammer a guy Povetkin went the 12 rounds with and povektin is suppose to have very good power

    Fury may not be the biggest puncher but he has very good power

    I wouldn't say he is pillow fisted because at his size and weight he must carry decent enough power.

    But he isn't a big puncher and the way he boxes doesn't lend well to power punching.

    He needs to land an accumulation of 1-2's to do damage, he can wear fighters down but lacks that one punch ko

    How many years since a stoppage I'm js. Of course but why was Wallin not even wobbled once?

    Total pillow fisted girlie slapper. Doesn't sit down on anything and never puts his weight into his shots. He's an arm-punching fairy at an embarrassing level. I'm sure he could be a very good puncher if he wanted to be and learned to be based on his size/strength/length/athleticism. He is however an incredibly impressive boxer -- especially considering his size.

    I love how many think Bootleg D has an iron chin.

    Let's be real here, Tyson isn't a big puncher, but he doesn't need to be...
    He's a big dude and if he can get the weight behind his punches it will still take it's toll.

    Those saying that Tyson doesn't have a chance to hurt Wilder are delusional. Let's not forget that Wilder has been hurt multiple times by well timed jabs.

    If Tyson gets to the inside and works off the break I think he has a very good chance of hurting Wilder.

    What Tyson lacks in KO power, Wilder lacks in chin stability.

    I've been saying for a while that he could potentially stop (even if by No Mas) Wilder in the next fight. I'm going to be a little surprised if this one goes to the cards, one way or the other.

    Tyson fury is a boxer, he’s not built to blast people away. That’s how he plays the game especially considering his ability to take shots is suspect, he plays to his strengths and so far he hasn’t lost that way.

    I have a Tempur-pedic that has more power than Fury has in his hands. It's foam, not feathers, which makes a difference.

    KO'ing guys is not Fury's game...how do some people not know this? His props (when he actually gets props) come from people that rave about the footwork of a 6'9' guy. NOT how he ko's people with one shot.
