Every opponent he has faced, he hurt if not knocked sparks out. He even hurt Usyk. It's not Fury's power that was the issue here. It was Usyk's amazing punch resistance.
Fury is not a power puncher he`s simply heavy handed and can wear fighters down, his KO ratio isn`t that good.
It’s not that Fury doesn’t have power it’s the fact that he doesn’t really plant his feet all the time to get the full power off when’s he’s fighting to box like he did throughout most of his career and against Usyk. When he did plant his feet more against Wilder he got to him because Wilder hasn’t got the skills to evade the shots
Fury was never a monstrous puncher, he has some pop People who gas up his power forget that his stoppage ratio is 67% which is pitiful given his size & the fact that he is a HW. I mean if Fury is a power puncher then Inoue must be superhuman considering he has 89% stoppage ratio (would be 92% if ref didn't save Donaire from a KO in their first fight) from 108 lbs to 122 lbs where you have the lowest KO ratio's (higher up you go in weight the more KO's you see) Fury can definitely hurt you but he is no Foreman & stopping bambi legs Wilder went to his head
Did anyone notice when Usyk got cut from the headbutt, the Fury camp started laughing and jeering at him?? That was disgusting
For a man his size Fury doesn't have a whole lot of power. There's an awful lot of TKO's and decision wins on his record. Very few clean knockouts against quality opposition. Wilder's KO losses were primarily due to his complete and utter lack of defense and inability to fight off the backfoot. Fury threw everything but the kitchen sink at Wilder, and it still took a corner stoppage for the 2nd fight (Wilder was actually on his feet and fighting back), and 11 rounds of brutal flush punches to get rid of Wilder in the 3rd fight. That's not elite power. The only other notable fighter Fury KOd was Whyte, whose a fat PED cheating slob with even worse defense than Wilder and a fairly mediocre jaw. Against Usyk, Fury chose to fight on the backfoot for most of the match, reverting back to his herky jerky, jab and shuffle around style. He did buzz Usyk a few times, but wouldn't press the issue and often backed off even when he did land something big. Fury was probably worried about his gas tank and tried to look cute and outbox Usyk, but that was a fatal mistake. Overall, I'd say Fury's power is a 6/10. He hits hard enough to get your respect, you can't just walk through his shots. He can buzz or stun most guys if he lands flush or lands multiple shots in a row, but he is not an elite puncher. Despite the adjustments he made with Hill, Fury still flicks a lot or uses slappy arm punches too, that could be part of the problem. He has a gangly and awkward build with some bad body mechanics at times.
6/10 relative to his size or 6/10 for a heavyweight? I think his power for a heavy is a lot more than 6/10. More like 7.5/10. I think he doesn't commit to his punches sometimes.
Weren't nothing lucky about that punch on Fury's coke snorting nose, fury isn't as difficult to hit as people make out and usyk has laser like precision
For his size and weight, Fury should have near Lennox power but he rarely sits down on his punches. It's just the style he's chosen to fight with.
If you don't have power you can't develop power. Going to a gym isn't going to give you power. Fury is just a taller heavyweight. He isn't naturally robust. If Fury was dedicated or fought in a era where people would be critical of his weight Fury would way 230 tops. You could find vidoe of him early in his career when he weighed 240 and he still had love handles and man boobs. Also it is pretty funny to see a blown up cruiser weight push this guy back. Usyk is the one who usually runs but Fury is so weak that he is usually pushed back. The only fighter that Fury was able to push back was chicken leg Wilder.
