    His accuracy. Good form on his punches, very straight. Good finisher. Very competitive. Can be made to do dumb stuff like try to walk through you if you've landed some solid shots. Has worked so far because he's usually bigger. I'd like to see him vs a top welter. Seems to let emotions get the better of him but he's just been much better than his opponents for that to matter.

    How insufferably dull he is both in and out of the ring. He's the boxing equivalent of There Will Be Blood. Everyone blows smoke up it's ass and rants and raves about how great it is, because... Emperor's New Clothes, but secretly no one can stomach it or actually enjoys watching it. He's Rigondeaux without the moping clinically depressed turtle face... unfortunately, because that might actually make him look like less of a sociopath, because it would show everyone that his grim ass actually he has feelings.

    I don't know.. He reminds me of ward in that he's good at everything but never looks amazing at anything.. Just wins all the time ..

    I think Ward was a better all-around fighter than Crawford. Ward was more polished fundamentally and a much sharper puncher. Crawford gets away with a lot of bad habits/fundamental flaws in the ring.

    I agree I thought ward was better... Just nothing stood out to me about him... Except he always won... Far better jab.

    Some fighters you get dazzled by speed power n silly skills, some just seem very pedestrian but can beat there more gifted looking foes just by being better all round... Its weird really

    He’s very patient with great punch selection, has the speed and power to make him exciting to watch, but I don’t like him

    He's a dumb man who's stupid enough to exhibit a sense of loyalty to scum like Bob Arum. Seems like he wants to be protected. I have no respect for his carry on outside the ring. He knew what he was getting when he renewed his contract with Top Rank but claims ducking on his opponents' part. I'm getting sick of hearing his bull****.
    Worst part is he's a very good boxer who could be p4p #1 if he actually fought the top guys.

    Can someone explain to me from a factual perspective what have Usyks opponents done to be considered any better than that of Crawford's at 140? They both became undisputed in lesser regarded weight classes and their best opponents (Postol/Gassiev) are at a similar level yet one guy gets alot more credit than the other. What is the basis for this?

    He`s one of the gretest switch-hitters of all-time despite lacking in craft, a very difficult fighter to beat.
