Fury is one of the only guys he HASNT knocked out. 40 of his 42 fights are KOs.
Compare that to any other fighter, even the lower weight divisions. None are even close in the percent of their fights that end in a kO. Just exciting boxing. [Reply]

True, but he did rock him though. Fury is a big fucking guy with a crazy chin. [Reply]

This guy has got me interested in boxing again. Perfect timing because I was getting really fatigued with the UFC and all the PED stuff going on. [Reply]
This should teach people not to neglect working out your neck muscles at the gym, since the only thing that kept that dude's head from landing in somebody sitting in row 30's lap was a strong neck. [Reply]

A lot?
Half truth here. Tyson's speed, combos, and peekaboo defense are indisputable, but making Tyson's power out to be average or below average is crazy talk that nobody who fought him would agree with.
He's not the hardest hitter of all time (Foreman and Julian Jackson come to mind), but had more power that the vast majority of guys in spite of his shorter and more compacted muscles. [Reply]
But for real though, how fast does Bruce Lee take out Wilder? Does he even get a chance to throw a bunch before Bruce has all his limbs snapped? [Reply]

Read what I was responding to. I didn't say he had middling power, but guys like Foreman, Shavers, Ron Lyle, were all 70s heavyweights with more single punch power. Inmem said his was the best. [Reply]
