Usyk Vs. Prime Evander.. who ya got

Hard to call!

 

Usyk KO'ing Stevenson's Son doesn't all of a sudden mean he would beat Holyfield.

 

Usyk lost 5 rounds to Breidis. Holyfield trounces him.

 

I have no problem with anyone picking Usyk as he matches Holyfield for size, strength, physicality and stamina, though I'd give the edge in power to Holyfield but, to claim Usyk schools Holyfield is outrageous.

Holyfield is consensus ATG top 10 heavyweight and pretty much put the Cruiserweight Division on the map. He was equally as dominant as Usyk though I'd argue the Cruiserweight division is stronger today although Qawi and De Leon were no joke.

Holyfield was way, way tougher than Bellew, Bellew only dreams of being as durable as EH, on top of that, EH had a far higher work rate, could get down into the trenches and had an unquenchable will to win.

Usyk hasn't been fully stretched or tested either, that's why I see it as a very close toss up but, a schooling, no way.

 

If Usyk can beat AJ or Wilder it would be comparable to Holyfield beating Bowe

 

If Usyk had been trained properly so that he could have reached his peak potential at 25 instead of being-- over the hill-- and going downhill at 32--I would consider him a real threat.
Why the hell did it take him so long?
He's through if he fights a big heavyweight- Wilder,Fury, and maybe even Joshua.

 

He needs that Holyfield roid juice to help his power.

 

You can turn this around and say that Holyfield lost to Moorer, Byrd, Ruiz, Toney and more.

 

The first good southpaw Evander fought, he was at heavyweight and was the comfortable favorite....and he lost. And I rate Usyk as better than Moorer. Evander didn't have easy nights vs southpaws.

It would be a hell of a fight, but I'd make Usyk a slight, but clear favorite

 

Was Evan prime when he faced stand in journeyman Smokin Bert Cooper?

 

Not at cruiserweight

 

At HW he did but completely different weight divisions.
Consider j Toney losing to thadzi but competing against world rated HWs.
This would be at the new CW limit and holyfield had problems with former lhws like qawi who was 5ft 7. I don't think HW holyfield would have had as tough a fight with qawi but it's to do with the weight division they are competing in.
This is why I think Usyk would win

Still only my opinion

 

he competed with thazi and the weakened heavyweights, but didnt win with either group. you have no frekin point idiot. zero difference.

amen to that

 

Hahaha!

Usyk wins a comfortable UD. Especially if Ol’ head butt is PED tested.
