i don't know if it's fair to say wilder only got knocked down because he was tired, fury knocked him down in the 3rd round in both fights.i think you are confusing raw fat man strength to power, he bullied Wilder, he leant on him, he made him tired before he hit and hurt him
he didnt knock him down when he was fresh, infact i dont remember him ever doing that to a fighter, he usually relies on his pure size to lean on people an wear them down before landing shots
i agree he isn't an explosive, powerful puncher like wilder or AJ, but i remember hearing some rather famous trainer (forgot who, sorry) talk about how he had always been saying that fury would at some point learn to plant his feet and start hurting people. it's the sheer size of the bastard. when a 7 foot, 260lbs giant puts their whole body into a punch, it's going to hurt.
i don't think he's going to hurt usyk, but he did have 4 straight finishes before the ngannou fiasco. he isn't as pillow fisted as his reputation suggests, is what i'm saying.
