    His punches had more of a whipping effect when he was younger

    He was also faster, had lovely scything uppercuts, and he wasn't wearing those big Rival gloves back then

    I wouldn't say Usyk's defense is better. Pac just loved going to war.

    His punches looked like this in the 10th when he let himself loose on Joshua. I think its more of a state of mind for Usyk. When he has wind in His sails he whips them and It still looks fantastic.

    Yeah. But I think he bulked up and added more muscle during his CW days and obviously since he moved up to HW. 221 is not his optimum weight. I think 210-215 max is his optimum fighting weight but he's still very effective at 221

    I don’t know if I’d say more skilled, PAC more direct and Usyk/Loma more schooled in the amateur ranks so much more defensively responsible.

    I'd call him a hyper swarmer.

    How he keeps up his constant movement combined with his peppering jab I do not know.

    The man is simply incredible.

    A pure boxer-swarmer hybrid.
    He reminds me of a southpaw version of Luis Manuel Rodriguez where he has an elusive, energetic, jerky style of fighting.

    Grebian. He's obviously watched film of Harry Greb. Hoping around like a rabbit, slapping the other guy at will with little
    coming back at him. Feinting, ducking, sliding. Like Harry.
