More Fun to Watch- Calzaghe or Usyk?

[dan_cov]

Usyk I love his graceful footwork, constant level changing, trap setting and usage of angles. He's a master.

Joes style was just horrible on the eye throwing constant barrages of slaps. He wasn't all that skilled or fundamentally sound he overwhelmed with volume and it was incredibly scrappy.
Effective but far from aesthetically pleasing to me at least.

never liked watching calzaghe fight, thought he had a real ugly style. to be fair i might be biased since i disliked him in general for being such a ducker.

i like watching usyk fight, very fundamental obviously. doesnt have the flair of loma, crawford and some guys i really love watching fight. but he is a brilliant fighter regardless, so it's a pleasure to watch.

You cannot hit with an open glove, the inside of the glove, the wrist, the backhand, or the side of the hand.

Usyk by a million miles. I'd rather watch Usyk beat prime undefeated champions in their back garden rather than watch that overrated fraud go life and death with an old Hopkins and box Jones' corpse after telling his own son "Jones is not the same fighter as he once was".

Calzaghe is the most overrated fighter we've ever had. How this guy became hyped by idiotic fans and media is beyond me.

This right here . ^
I just never got what people liked about Calzaghe . Or even who liked Calzaghe ?
I always figured it was a U.K thing .

Tough pick. I'll go with Uysk because he puts a little more into his punches.

Calzaghe may have been a touch overrated but he beat a PRIME Kessler fairly comfortably (and cleanly) and the only other two men to beat him were a Ward fighting Dirty and Froch went 1-1 with a faded Kessler

Idk if Calzaghe is an ATG but he was clearly better than an A+ level world class fighter in Kessler.

If I wanted to watch a grown man slap someone.....

I have to go with Usyk. There is something about the flaw in his style that I find very appealing to watch - similar to Lomachenko.

Joe was so busy in the ring. I like Usyk, but his style is much more like an Andre Ward; fascinating on a technical level for those who have the eye for it, but it's not fan-friendly.
Joe was a tornado, constant action.

I don’t see the analogy between Ward and Usyk. Obviously, both are exceptionally skillful fighters, but IMO very opposite in their styles.

Ward has a unique ability to make almost any fighter look bad - even elite fighters. He makes them do what is uncomfortable for them.

Usyk, on the other hand, does his own thing; IMO he focuses much more on his own work rather than his opponents’. I don’t see his opponents looking worse than usual, just he is always better than them.

Uysk because I can't enjoy watching anyone who slaps with their punches.

And Usyk is also much better.
