    Just that he lacks power. He's still a masterful pfp Boxer

    However, It would also show how fragile the bodybuilders chin is, because Usyk rocked him numerous times. I legitimately hope its a competitive fight, so we can all laugh at aj

    His heavyweight KO/TKO record is 0% so far (which is probably unique for a champion in any of the divisions). One can argue that the RTD outcome against a total bum like Chazz is some kind of a TKO, but I am not going into that - pointless. But it will only prove he is the greatest feather fist in history. On the other hand, it is fine if he wins - winning a fighting contest isn't only via KO/TKO.

    Usyk doesn't need to KO people to beat them.

    How do Jim nice to see another serviceman around here well let me tell you it will show that Usyk has absoloutley no power none whatsoever see Dubois got dropped 3x and stopped by Kevin larana in 1 round a feather fisted cruiser that fight should have been stopped so for my money anything other than round 1 ko is pathetic from the wee Ukranian fella that's why I expect it will probably go 12 boring rounds and all on here will say look this Usyk fella he's the new Muhammed ali

    Usyk could be in huge trouble if he can't keep Frank's pet Frankenstein down. Dubois isn't like Joshua, here's too stupid to feel pain and go back on the defensive. I just hope this puny cruiserweight can withstand the huge blows from this huge behemoth. Could be over by the second round!

    Hard to beat Ali for the greatest feather fisted fighter.

    Usyk like Fury despite bieng big for his weight class doesn't have 1 hitter quitter power. They rely on attrition. Usyk & Fury are pressure fighters at heart although Usyk can't fight like that anymore at heavyweight as it's too dangerous.

    It's not like Fury could KD Chisora even once in a 3 fights .... That doesn't stops him winning this fights, right?
    If we don't count Chazz as a KO/TKO victory, neither we should do the Chisora on Fury record, 2x time actually. It's literally the same.

    Seemed pretty clear to me than Dubois was injured and buying time by taking knees. That first 'KD' had ZERO contact (not even a grazing blow - Lereba hit air). The idea that Dubois is chinny is a myth, and based on the Joyce fight I'd say his chin is actually decent.

    It would probably say Usyk comfortable UD a wins a win as Roach used to say. He isn't a big puncher at HW but that's isn't unusual for fighters moving up in weight, doesn't mean they aren't effective, dude is undisputed CW champ and unified heavyweight champ x2 against a HUGE puncher so what does that say?

    Hes a technician. Definitely not a KO artist.

    I wonder how many heavyweight world champs in history don't have a single KO at the weight. There must be some.
