I always thought him a middle-of-the-pack type guy at cruiser, but he looked surprisingly good up at heavy.

 

If he can keep 210-215 on, he may want to consider staying at heavyweight. Good fighter.

 

:nod

 

I thought he was solid European title level at cruiser.

At heavy, could see room for him in the top 10. :conf

 

Iam glad its not just me who noticed him he seems like a good prospect speed and power and by the look of him doesn't get hit much.one to watch I think.

 

Makabu would beat Usyk. :deal

 

The Charr KO impressed me, but no 6'1 215 guy is gonna make it at the elite HW level these days.

He could well pick up a title at cruiser though

 

Makabu would knock Usyk out cold.

 

Pulls his punches . Open defensively. Decent combos and power. Not much to write home about really.

 

Why not? Holyfield succeeded in a weaker era.

 

First I don't think hes Holyfield type level.

Also, even in the generation since Holyfield, HW's have gotten bigger.

LL was pretty much a giant back then.

Now the vast majority of top 20 fighters are every bit as big as him
Fury, Joshua, Wlad, Martin, Helenius, Pulev, Wilder,Breazeale, Washington are all 6'5 or more.

Most of them around 250

If you look at Evanders HW campaign in his prime, most of the guys he was beating were close to him in size like Moorer, Czyz,Cooper, Mercer, Tyson.

In the 20 years since, theres been a noticeable increase in size
