    Number of times Gassiev, Breidis, Hunter have been dropped in their careers = 0

    Tell a lie. Usyk is the only fighter in the history of prize fighting to ever drop Hunter albeit a technical KD when the ropes kept him up

    Number of times Gassiev, Briedis and Hunter have been stopped = 0

    Number of times they've even been hurt or badly hurt?

    They're extremely tough and durable men :facepalm:

    AJ has been stopped once as a pro

    Wlad, Povetkin, J-Park, Pulev, Whyte, Martin, Takam, Breazeale didn't stop him either despite being much or way bigger than Usyk. In fact, only Wlad dropped him out of all of those

    Chisora is iron-chinned. Yes, he's been knocked out twice and stopped twice on mercy stoppages against Belly but he's fought everyone and their dog, fights with an extremely aggressive style and gets hit a ton. Belly couldn't drop him in three attempts and both he and Whyte needed 2 attempts to stop him.

    Dave Allen is iron-chinned and he has sparred everyone: Belly, AJ, Joyce, Bakole, Okolie to name a few and he's fought Ortiz, Whyte, Lucas Browne, David Price etc. He's never been down

    But I'm not even arguing he's some huge puncher. He's primarily a boxer who is often content just to win on points. I'm alluding to him entering the ring with the mindset of wanting to punish and knock out his opponent.

    Fighting with a different level of intensity and the way he could've done that against AJ is by upping the intensity, putting his foot on the pedal, and letting his hands go more. When he actually did that he hurt AJ or had him in some bother in both fights because he could practically hit him at will when he did so. This is what I'm taking about :facepalm:

    Nonsense. If there had been another round in the first fight he would have slept him.

    Usyk may not be a KO artist, but he did KTFO Duckson Fury recently. It appears Duckson has only just woken up from that devastation, and is slowly starting to talk and post again. Usyk is already 1-0 against Duckson. That's a fact and the whole boxing world witnessed it.
