Usyk thrives on slow, powerful plodders, but how would he fare against slick technicians. List Spinks Qawi J Nelson Byrd Jones Toney Oquendo Adamek H Fury T Fury
Usyk is pretty vulnerable against pressure. As are most if not all pure boxers. That said, a good pressure fighter is the rarest style of fighter in boxing. Being a pressure fighter is a tough grueling style to fight. Most guys just dont want to go through that kind of fight everytime in the ring. You have to say that a HW or CW version of Chavez would give Usyk nightmares. And so would Joe Frazier.
The obvious one to me who could beat Usyk on your list is T Fury. Although Fury's a very good Technical fighter I give Usyk an edge in out and out "disiplined" boxing ability. However Fury IMO matches Usyk or exceeds him in most other departments Heart, Size, Weight, gas tank(?), Ring IQ. And Fury's ability to be successful either with slick boxing or rough house trench warfare, or a combination of both with everything in-between other than massive single punch power. The other thing in Usyk's favour is he's never been on his arse or seriously hurt. His chin so far has been granite. While Fury has been floored on numerous occasions but Fury showed excellent recovery powers to then get back up and pretty much destroy his opponents. If he's considered lacking somewhat in the chin department he more than makes up for it in his recovery powers I think at this moment in time I'd slightly favour Fury but it's by no means a given. Usyk will never ever cease to suprise and amaze me in that no matter what the task he can always find a way.( And convincingly too) And he's willing (as Fury is too) to go anywhere on this mortal coil to do it. Great fight if and when it happens if they both remain unbeaten in their re-matches, Bigger than the Usyk - AJ fight we've all just witnessed.
How the **** can you say Fury has more heart than Usyk. There is no basis for that whatsoever. Usyk has higher boxing IQ and a better gas tank. Idk where you even would get the idea that he gas a better gas tank than Usyk, seriously. Fury throws 300-400 punches a fight while Usyk throws 800-1000 most of thr time

He said matches or exceeds. Either way, Fury has had to dig deep to come up off the canvas in fights. Usyk has not. So, I can see giving the edge to Fury in the heart department. Other than that, you are correct. No way to say who has the bigger heart.
Adamek? This gentleman had competed in HW and CW divisions while he had LHW boxer's frame. Smaller than Cunningham, Wlodarczyk and Glowacki frame. Adamek's total pro record is 53-6 while from these fights 32 fights he had in LHW division with record in LHW 31-1 ( 1 lost fight via decision ).
I said Fury matches or exceeds. IMO he at least matches Usyk in heart in that Fury's had to get off the canvas and continued to win the fight. That takes heart mate. I'm pretty sure Usyk would do the same but untill he ever needs to do so we can't say for certain can we?. Unless you've got a crystal ball... Regarding Fury's gas tank, I did put a question mark there when I mentioned it. He's proven so far to have a good tank but weather it's as good as Usyk's I don't know. That's probably " How the **** " I've stated these things Hope I've made things clearer for you.
It did but the thing is you said that Fury has more heart than Usyk but then asked a question if Fury has a better gas tank. Usyk has displayed good heart in his career (hes never faced adversity like Fury) and Fury has displayed enormous heart throughout his career. Fury has displayed good stamina throughout his career (Hes never thrown or moved as much as Usyk in his career), Usyk has displayed enormous stamina throughout his career. So for me it's definitive who has more stamina because we've seen Fury tired from throwing 25 punches a round but he has better stamina than most HWs Whereas we've never seen Usyk's heart fail him and we'll be able to answer this question once he faces adversity like Fury did in round 12
