    You Euro fans had been told for years that high guard + movement are not enough to succeed past a certain point, but your ego made you deaf and blind. Usyk tried to use the shell defense against Chisora whenever he hit the ropes, but a lot of shots got through or failed to because Chisora was too gassed to exploit the openings in Usyk's lame imitation of the shell defense. If Usyk were to hire Floyd, then Floyd would teach Usyk how to use the shell properly, i.e., not leave clear openings. Usyk also got hit by many southpaw jabs from Chisora that could have easily been parried. Floyd was a master at parrying and would teach Usyk how to parry and catch punches if Usyk were to hire him.

    What usyk needs is to go out of HW. He has no business there. He does not belong there.

    Where the **** are you guys basing Floyd as some genius trainer ? They have a whole stable full of fighters that I’ve yet to see them provide any genius defensive Skill. It’s actually been the opposite. His guys are losing or getting stopped. His only star is all about the KO with little emphasis on defense.

    tbh, I agree with you, floyd doesnt look to me like the guy who is a good trainer.

    His uncle, though....

    what usyk would need, in any case, is uncle roger. But that's, unfortunately, not possible.

    I dont think that usyk needs uncle roger, though. Usyk is usyk, his boxing has nothing to do with mayweather's.

    Why? Floyd had major issues fighting Del Boy like relentless swarming pressure fighters like Castillo and Maidana as well.

    I agree with you. He was great at cruiser. I was a fan. But he is marginal at HW. He just doesn't have the power to take advantage of his opponents mistakes. He has to run as he cannot keep the big guys off of him due to lack of power.

    He fought evenly with Castillo despite having an injured shoulder and chose to infight with Maidana despite being shot at 37. Usyk is in his prime. Edit your post.

    And Usyk won 11 of 12 rounds against a guy who outweighed him by 40 pounds, and no I'm not editing my post.
