    So what ....Usyk has elite work rate and pressure. Good point

    A couple more-
    High ring IQ, speed, reflexes, footwork, head movement, stance, balance, defence, chin, skills / technique, focus, discipline, heart, sportsmanship

    Without all those he'd lose too.

    No disrespect but it seems you’re not taking on board any of the insightful and properly contextual answers provided thus far.

    That stamina doesn't come from now where. He works hard to have that stamina.

    Not to me2ntion his elite skills he''s developed that allow him to maintain control of the fight and not waste energy.

    Fury's sinking 10 pints a day in camp, weighs over 55lbs heavier than Oleksandyr. Fury fan wants to whinge about Usyks stamina....

    Yeah, it's kind of those things that's so obvious, it really doesn't need to be said.

    Yeah, that marathon runner only wins because of his stamina. If I'm not mistaken, stamina is kinda important in boxing. I think.

    Toney was one of my big 4 in the nineties, along with Chavez, Foreman and Lewis.

    If Usyk was Tyson Fury he'd have lost to Usyk twice.

    Something to think about.

    Not really. Did Lewis's style rely so heavily on insane stamina? Its unique to Usyk. .aybe calzaghe was comparable
