    Usyk impressed me with his running skills. How many miles did he cover in his fight running from Chisora? Must have been at least half a marathon.

    The good news for Usyk is he has a second career as a marathon runner should he decide to call it quits

    Yeah, Usyk would do well in a number of sports. He's a true athlete.

    It’s boxing, not barroom brawling. Usyk is giving up so much size at HW. He’s not going toe to toe with bigger guys slugging it out. Not unless he wants to have a short career and get killed. He is a smart talented fighter.

    Not a top 100 in running.

    However top boxers not rarerly does have enough gas tank to run even 50 km if needed.

    There is a skill that few fighters have and Chisora is one of them that lack this skill. It is called cutting off the ring. Usyk cannot stand and trade with a guy that he can't faze with a single shot, but can be put to sleep with a shot from the much larger opponent. That's like racing a Ferrari against an off road truck on a dirt road in the mountains. Never fight to your opponents strengths.

    Tell me,what would your reaction be if someone did a thread like this after the first GGG-Canelo match? Because Canelo covered far more ground in 4 rounds than Usyk did in 12.

    I guess you're already getting the excuses ready when Usyk boxes the ears off of that face first plodder DDD, that you're so fond of.
