Here's one of his sparring partners who IIRC has also shared a ring with Wlad, The Tuscaloser, and AJ among many others He was sceptical about his power before tasting it for himself Timestamped This content is protected
He was hitting hard all night. Harder than in the second fight. Even harder than he has before. It's not twitchy, snapping power though, it's just improved power-focused technique. Using his mass better, but it's clearly not just his mass. It was a fairly impressive display. He's clearly a pretty effective puncher nowadays.
I agree. That move to Sugar Hill might be one of the smartest moves I think I have seen by a fighter.. normally fighters move after defeat. But Tyson made that move while unbeaten and between huge fights, it was a really brave move when you think about it.
I wouldn't call him a power puncher, but I wouldn't call him feather fisted either. He hits hard enough to get respect. He doesn't have big lights out power like Lennox or Wlad, but he's a huge man and can club people down.
Absolutely Steward called this years ago, he said Fury would rule the world and I can only imagine what we would be seeing now if he was still around and training or just being involved with Fury.
I've said it before and it's not an popular opinion but Wilder has a good chin. He's easy to wobble but very hard to put down and very hard to keep down.
Floyd fought people his weight or bigger though, Fury is outweighing Wilder by 40 pounds or more it would be different if he fought someone his size.
No he won't he will say Fury must have put cattle prongs in the gloves as it felt like he was being electrocuted as there is no way Fury hits that hard as 'you have pillows for fists'
He's no power puncher but I think he hits harder than most would anticipate. He lacks the speed and snap in his punches to be a KO artists. You need that speed to rapidly whip an opponents head around to rattle the brain. When Fury lands, he lands with a heavy shot with some force behind and it will hurt, even rattle you but that missing speed element prevents him from switching your lights out.
