    Technical skills are tools.

    Having a decent toolkit is nothing without the IQ and experience to utilize them properly.

    Usyk is both highly experienced and a borderline genius in the ring - he has the tools, but his ability to use the right one at the right time and in clever ways is exceptional and even allows him to overcome massive physical disadvantages (such as giving up height, reach and strength vs AJ).


    How much will Sanchez fight?
    How well will he process experience into his game?
    How fast can he process an opponent?

    Usyk's already answered these questions and that's why he is where he is...

    below is the question you asked
    I think no based on what I've seen of the quality of opposition thus far in their respective careers. I would, however, be interested in seeing them fight. Why am I repeating myself. Did I get trolled?

    Sanchez has potential, maybe could even pick up a alphabet soup belt on the way.

    Sanchez looked very impressive against Ajagba, but if you searched the term "one dimensional" there would be a picture of Ajagba.

    We need to see Sanchez in with a good solid top 10 hevayweight but he does look awkward, slippery, confident and he is not exactly explosive and entertaining so he is the definition of "high risk, low reward" so it may be difficult to get him any meaningful fights.

    One can argue the ocean is dry. Doesn't make it true.

    Jesus, you are comparing a a guy who just got a workmanlike decision against Efe Ajagba to a guy who made himself a legend in 19 fights.

    Some other good threads:

    Can Sanchez conquer Persia like Alexander the Great?
    Can Sanchez write about the nature of our universe like Stephen Hawking?
    Can Sanchez walk on water like Jesus?

    No. Usyk moving, punching and engaging non-stop. Frank fights cozy compared to Usyk.

    You're changing your narrative. Arguing that Sanchez has faster hands than Usyk, is much different than saying he is equally skilled.

    One of these threads which will be bumped in four or five years for a laugh: Three pages long; red bar under the OP's name. Standard.

    Sanchez looks good but he,ll struggle to get enough people interested in his career if he continues to sit waiting on the opponents activity all night. The cuban styles a brilliant amatuer style but it needs adapting for the pro,s. Ortiz had the same problem...a highly skilled fighter but as the opposition went up...most of them we,re smart enough to lower their output. Give ortiz less to work off. In the end he ended up looking average and people lost interest in his career. They need to build an offence off the cuban style.

    Nothing to do with the question...but working off someones mistakes is never as skilled as someone that goes in on the offence imo.
