    Of course it's important but for some it matters much more. Usyks style relies on major stamina. Look at the feats of stamina he does in swimming etc.

    Agreed. Not a stupid thread though. What's wrong with talking about fighters most crucial attributes? Chill.

    I think you should think a bit more before posting a thread like this "matey"

    He obviously has great stamina to do what he does at age and size, but he does get tired at the end, he either starts pulling the volume or the sting out of his punches but no one seems to punish it. I guess even just having to keep up the defense against a guy like that for 12 rounds takes its toll on you so his opponents have nothing left once his weaknesses start appearing.

    So what? If Ali didn't have his hand speed, chin and ring IQ he would've been just another ordinary HW contender!

    Usyks stamina is crucial to his success and style. Could you say the same about Mayweather? Or was it more his defensive skills. What about Pacquiao? Or was it his explosiveness and speed. It's a legit thread. You just can't think critically.

    Its kind of true. Sure its not his only skills but in both AJ fights and both Fury fights it resulted in close but clear Usyk wins cause he pulled away jn the final third of the fight due to having an extra gear compared to his opponents.

    Well that's my point. Usyks style relies heavily on stamina very pointedly.

    My point exactly and with Usyk it's clearly his stamina imo, by a long way.

    O
    It's very intense. And his stamina training is geared for this. Apparently he holds his breath for 8 mins etc. it's a big stamina style.

    And if he had never put on a pair of gloves, he'd have never been a boxer! Mindblowing stuff man.
