    I try to keep it consistent with a SHW frame, since mixing speed and agility and other physical things from smaller fighters with the SHW frame doesn't really make sense as it often won't be possible. Otherwise a smaller HW would combine Usyk traits with other things etc.

    Jab- Wlad
    Left hook - Wlad
    Straight right - Wlad
    Uppercut - Price
    Bodyshots - Fury
    Power - Wlad
    Chin - Wach
    Footwork - Fury
    Stamina - Fury
    Determination/Mental-toughess - Fury
    Cleverness/ring IQ - Fury

    So the perfect SHW and most dominant fighter that could ever exist is basically a metrosexual fake weirdo skinny-fat Slav-Irish-Anglo gypsy manic-depressive with a massive Polish jaw even Wlad can't crack.

    Other left hooks I'd nominate for consideration:

    Gerry Cooney
    Henry Cooper

    If we are talking about super heavyweights only, I prefer Bowe's and Lewis' uppercuts to Price's one

    I think Usyk probably could do more than 15 rounds. Stamina may be Usyk's best attribute.

    I find it incredible that he effortlessly ups the tempo and throws more as the rounds creep in, his training programme also says a lot.

    Great post.

    I’ll go a different way.

    I’d loved to have seen:


    Ali with the power of Louis.

    Louis with the speed of Ali.

    Vitali and Wlad merged together.

    Vitali and Wlad merged together would have been the best HW of the modern era.

    Wlad’s skills and speed, with Vitali chin, mental strength/confidence.
