    It's how he beat Joshua in the 1st fight too. Joshua is exhausted mentally and physically

    Yes , his style is built around his engine. That's a good way to put it and yes it's relentless pressure.

    He's an interesting pressure fighter b/c a lot of pressure fighters tend to have power where as Usyk buzzes around and it's death by a thousand cuts

    Epic reply tbh. But you get what I mean, right! He is top 3 atg. Not disputing. Yes his IQ is very important for him alongside his stamina.

    In a relatable and hopefully not too annoying way of putting it, whenever I watch Usyk I crave watching fat Toney putting it on someone with elite countering. Or Tyson ripping through with elite power torque. Or Pacquiao obliterating cotto with angles counters and combos.

    There's something, dare I say, spoil-y about a whole style built on relentless stamina. Just my, I get it, controversial opinion.

    Yeah good point. There's almost a spoilery element to it, dare I say. Though all champs have spoiling to them. Ali's hugging. Mayweathers running in the pocket. Calzaghes spam slaps.

    Such a negative spin on:
    “Usyk’s Elite stamina is core to the foundation of why he is so great.”

    It is unique. I can't think of anyone like him. Maybe calzaghe comes closest.

    RJJ used to just spam speed and power punches like L2ing on Elden Ring with Blasphemous Blade.
