    I think Usyk is the best P4P fighter in the world and either the best or second best heavy. He is incredible.

    That being said, i don't think he likes it to the body. When Joshua went to Usyk's body, Usyk did not counter appropriately. I think a strong pressure fighter and relentless body puncher, like a young Joe Frazier, would have taken advantage of it and beaten Usyk.

    Now, of course, no one is perfect. Usyk is an incredible fighter, an ATG at cruiser, a very very good heavyweight with the potential to be a great heavy if he can win a few more important heavyweight fights.

    His big blue eyes have a bunch of grown men drooling over him and over hyping him as if he's the greatest heavyweight ever after beating Anthony F ing Joshua. Im sure all the drool and semen he has his fans producing will lead to slips and sprained ankles everywhere he goes. Cant be good for his career

    He usually loses two rounds in a fight.

    Too old, isn't explosive.

    Doesn't move his head after he punches. Sometimes he gets tagged because of it.

    You should know. Since you are drowning Ali's body fluids.

    Power.

    A big lump like Chisora was able to cause him issues because he didn't respect Usyks power. That's not to say he's feather fisted but it's definitely his main flaw.

    This is the correct answer imo, everytime he gets hit there he'll act as if he's been hit low.

    Sometimes maybe lacks motivation against opposition he’s meant to dominate and doesn’t look impressive. For example against bellew and chisora

    Usyk has weaknesses like all boxers, but he doesn't really have any overt flaws that I can see.
    • His inside game is not as good as his mid-range game - see his closest fight with Breidis
    • Struggles a bit more to impose his game on pressure fighters
    • Whilst his chin is solid, he does seem more susceptible to body shots, and more likely to complain about them
    • He sometimes doesn't move his head after combos, but this is extermely picky, as his movement is 99% superb
    • Power is not fight-changing / bail out type power.

    There's not much else to really pick fault with, he is probably the most complete fighter today

    He doesn't really have a flaw at his natural weight. Not having exceptional power isn't really a flaw, because he still has respectable power. At HW he is small compared to the SHWs that dominate, so that is a flaw.
