Usyk is less of a puncher than Lomachenko but comes with just as high a work rate, so Usyk has to take some to give some to be exciting, whereas Lomachenko has genuine power, and he can stop fighters with that power.
I was blessed with speed and a good punch. Everybody thinks I'm the hardest puncher ever. But I just think I was really fast, and my punches got to the target faster. That's what made my knockouts always seem spectacular.
I was surprised at how slow Froch was. We were able to beat him to the punch.
I'm a distance fighter - if you've seen me fight, I like ducking in and out.
Hassan N'Dam is a very good fighter, he's very experienced and been around a long time. He's got good footwork, very good movement.
I love palm strikes because you have a longer reach. Normally, when you give a left hook and then a right straight, you are too close for the right straight. Why? Because the hook is shorter.
Boxing is all about timing. And if you take long periods of inactivity, you will be made to pay the price.
All my jabs, they're all different. I have a million different jabs.
I can box. I can hit hard. I've got different angles.
McGregor has a good punch, but he cannot say that he's the biggest puncher. MMA gloves are tiny - four ounces - so when they connect, they drop you.
I think I've become one of the best finishers in boxing; if I hurt a guy, I normally take him out.
I wasn't allowed to throw big hooks and overhand rights until I'd been striking for three years. It's so you don't rely on those things from the very beginning. If your footwork sucks, and you can only stand in one place and throw your hands all crazy while the other person is running around, you're never going to be able to hit them.
Some fighters have a great punch; others don't.
The first lesson in truly learning how to throw a punch is so frustrating, so frustrating. Especially if you fancy yourself athletic, that has to do with expectations and that is a different topic. The discomfort is realizing you thought you knew what throwing a punch meant and you just found out you don't even know how to stand.
Manny Pacquiao always makes a fake move that I know too well. He fakes a charge forward and then looks like he is going to follow with a one-two. That's a common fake he has.
I want to be known to fans and appreciated as a 'boxer-painter' in regards to speed, footwork, punching power - an art form inside the ring.
If you watch fights cage-side, sometimes different punches look better than others. It's like camera angles. Sometimes some punches look a lot better than they were, and sometimes a solid punch doesn't look good. So it just depends on your angle.
My punching power passes any other heavyweight.
I don't overswing any more. I can throw a punch and be right in position to punch again. No more 'Hail Mary' punches, where it took me five minutes to get back in position.
I've got a really canny knack for avoiding big punches or clean punches.
Bundu is a very good fighter. He's experienced and technically sound, but he can be awkward.
Maidana has to make me respect his power and his boxing skills.
Growing up as an amateur, I wasn't much of a power puncher. I was more of a speed guy.
Canelo's a very disciplined guy, but he's very relaxed in the ring. He taught me that there are ways to relax so you won't get hit with certain punches. He showed me that the more relaxed you are, the easier it is to fight your fight by staying put.
