    Having taken punches from AJ twice, Fury, Chisora, Dubois, Gassiev, Briedis, Bellew and Huck with no official knockdown, I would say Usyk has the best chin by a country mile.

    If I can make my own category, I also say that Uysk throws punches from angles I've never seen, especially the uppercut.

    Right hook: Zhang, Usyk is poor at blocking punches and has poor head movement, but yes his feet are quick.

    I'd have Zhang or Joshua over Dubois in the power department but other than that pretty spot on list.

    Yes, we can also make a strong argument for Usyk having the best chin at HW and he undoubtedly has the best one P4P at HW and the most impressive aspect about Usyk with regards to this is he has been past his prime for years and his attributes have decreased.
