    is Usyk's workrate unprecedented in HW boxing history?

    like no other fighter has matched his workrate? how was Holyfield back in the day? smaller cruiser was his pace/rate similar to Usyk's?

    is this literally one of a kind?​

      No, go back to the 90's era. Holyfield, Bowe, Moore, Mercer, Golota, etc.. all of them had incredible work rates.

      It's just in this era the heavyweights are so huge that every shot counts, therefore you see a lot less of fighters pounding each other in the face with little to no defense like they used to back in the day.

          ???? What about alis workrate against liston amd the likes then his footwork and upper body movement was sensational and non stop and when he did set himself he threw lightening laser combinations

          Also if You never meant punches then what about tysons foot and head movement coupled with every single shot being a sledgehammer???


          look at the workrate of haye against wladimir he was switched on the whole fight and had tremendous head movement


          Its more usyk is extremely intelligent and uses his energy so wisely

          If he did the things i mentioned these other boxers doing hed be gassed
