    Prine Evander wouldnt have been tip-tappin to decisions against that field he'd have straight up bodied the lot of them.

    Usyk is a good points boxer but that won't cut it with the big boys who will walk through his pitter pat shots and only need one right hand to put him away.

    He would need to be clean first before being enlisted which would have been his biggest obstacle.

    Nobody walks through Usyk's punches.

    He'd of been able to find ways around it just as they did before. Testing has always been multiple steps behind the creation of PEDs...

    There's way too much money involved so it will always be that way

    Im not so sure the Evander was roided as a cruiserweight. If he was, it sure wasn’t obvious like it was at heavyweight. Also, if you’re comparing a mythical match up with the two, either Usyk has to come in at 190 or Holy gets to come in at 200 and either way that favors Evander.

    Evander likely could've made 200 and then rehydrated to 215. So the extra juiced version could still probably still make cruiser.

    Well no because he's always moving away but the point remains.

    I don't think so at all.

    While I think Holyfield could hang with any cruiser in history, this series was super stacked and Usyk would likewise give any cruiser in history something to think about. When Bobby Czyz can outslick you, Usyk can too, and worse.

    I’m not sure I follow you...?
    When Holy fought at cruiser the limit was 190, so he definitely could’ve made 200 if that’s the mm weight he and Usyk fight at. Also, at 190 he could wage hellacious war for 15 rounds - that’s proven. Usyk is a question mark there.
    If they fight at 200 and for 12 rounds I think that also favors Evander because he cuts less weight.
    Either way I think the advantages go to Holyfield.
    I’m not convinced, by any means, that a Holy was juiced for his cruiserweight days; it wasn’t until he was firmly into his heavyweight days that the juice began to flow.

    Evander would be favourite over everyone in the current Cruiser division including Usyk. Holyfield was a beast at Cruiser, fast hands, rapid fire combo's moved pretty well, iron chin, good power and had an insane work rate, remember he threw 1290 punches in the first Qawi fight.

    Uysk is good, great even but he isn't going to deter Holyfield from coming forward and Holyfield is far better than Gassiev or Breidis.
