Usyk is a phenomenal fighter, one of the greatest talents I have ever seen but i have seen some hyperbole that some say he is the greatest skilled fighter at the moment, that is kind of an attack on Bud... what exactly, skill wise, does Usyk do better than Crawford?

nothing at all -
Usyk is a better southpaw than Crawford. Hand's down. Usyk avoids punches better than Crawford, has better defense. And when he does get hit, Usyk stays on his feet better than Crawford, takes punches better, has a better chin. Usyk has better footwork than Crawford. He hits harder than Crawford. He has better ring IQ than Crawford. Want me to go on?

Inoue, Canelo and Crawford beat Usyk like a drum at the same size. Current p4p lists ain't based on pure definition of p4p. Just think you struggled against a big stiff bodybuilder and placed at #1 smh..Comment

the defense thing i might have to disagree with...Bud is an elite counterpuncher where as Usyk fights like pacman offensively with angles etc. Usyk also allows himself to get hit more i feelUsyk is a better southpaw than Crawford.

The depth and breath of the heavyweight division will never match the lower weight classes, particularly lightweight through welterweight which is historically the "sweetspot" (skill intersects power). What Usyk does may looks impressive against heavyweights, but its average for the lower weight classes.Comment
