How is Usyk better than Canelo P4P?

There's levels to it, I wouldn't call Usyk basic, but certainly "more" basic than Canelo. I guess I would put it to you like this, over his career, Canelo has shown an impressive skill set, but lately he hasn't been using as much head movement for example. If that's the avenue that you could use to say Usyk has better defense now than Canelo has shown in recent fights, that's certainly arguable. On the other hand Canelo has been pretty dominant in how he dispatched Munguia and Berlanga, and producing sensational knockdowns.

So I agree about Canelo having more offensive ability, and while I think Canelo has shown he has better defensive capabilities, I would grant you that in recent fights maybe Canelo hasn't shown the kind of high level defense to the extent he showed earlier in his career. i.e. skillfully using footwork and upper body movement, impressive ropes work making GGG miss in their first fight, or that dazzling sequence of head movement against Daniel Jacobs making him look silly.

We haven't seen "that" Canelo in a while so from that standpoint you can make the argument that Usyk has shown better defense presently and has been harder to hit clean with big shots. Still that's essentially a wash if you conclude that Canelo has more offensive ability and that Usyk has maybe tighter defense at this stage. My point is simply that over his career Canelo has showcased a far better arsenal of offense and defense than Usyk has. But I would grant you that if we're looking at recent fights, Usyk you could say has been harder to hit clean. He has really tight defense I'll give you that.
