    Usyk or Saunders

    Just based on pure skill, I'd say Saunders but Usyk is clearly the more proven guy pfp

    Saunders has yet to face decent opposition...

    I rate both extremely highly but I will have to go with Usyk due to him proving it against better opposition.

    Smaller fighters usually have more natural talent.

    So? The question was who looks more skilled. I clearly said that Usyk is more proven. Saunders has faced good enough fighters to show his skill in
    Eubank, Lemieux and Lee.

    Saunders, he would be scary good if he applied himself better. LIve the lifestyle between fights instead of only being an athlete for training camp and fight night.

    Bjs must be by far more talendet. Bjs is probably the biggest talent in boxing if you take into account what a lazy piece of crap this guy is and he is still very good. I do not think that usyk is very talented, i think he just has probably the best work ethic of the current boxers and he seems to be very intelligent in his training regime and tactical facilitys.

    Usyk by far.

    Brits are hilarious- as always they notoriously overrate the ability of their guys. BJ the most naturally talented guy in boxing, eh?

    Saunders is more talented than Loma, Crawford, Spence, and Inoue?

    LOL. Okay... whatever you say..

    Close but I’d say Usyk. And the fun part is Usyk will improve his strength and power in the next couple of years. He’s going to stop these HW’s. Watch

    Saunders gets overrated around here based off one great performance against David Lemieux. You need to watch his whole career, not one fight where he was juiced out of his mind.
