    Just an observation. It's so key to his success.

    I actually crave watching vintage Toney fights after watching Usyk.

    Don't get me wrong. Usyk is top 3 heavy. Ever. But his stamina is so spammed.

    Anyone else feel me on that?

    Isn't stamina the key to the success of all great fighters?

    Was Floyd Mayweather a slouch in the gym?

    He was fighting a guy taller, 50 lbs heavier, and 7 inch reach advantage. It wasn't stamina. It was his boxing skills. You still have to land to win. Being able to run for 12 wouldn't have won the rnds.

    Without his size Fury will be nobody.
    Without his power Joshua will be nobody
    Without chin GGG will be nobody

    Usyk is great in almost all aspects. He got tremendous foot work, got great chin, great character, great timing, reflex and very good skills.
    Stamina is one of his atributes that make him soo special. Better than others.
    Thats smth You must born with.

    Idk it's just an observation. It's so key to his game whereas with other champs it's other things. I feel like it's one of his greatest attributes.

    Yeah for sure. But if you take fury or Mayweather as an example, their skills were higher up in their list of attributes. Obviously Usyk is all round elite but, similar to calzaghe he has extra special stamina.

    Yes but his style is so reliant on stamina. Constant movement. Rather than say Duran who had a whole bag of tricks

    What would Tyson be without his power?
    What would Vitali be without his chin?
    What would Fury be without his powers of recovery?
    They all have something which makes them stand out - sometimes multiple things.
