    Obviously, Usyk is MUCH bigger than Floyd, but what if they were both the same size? Who would win this fight between two master boxers?

    Pac was most similar to Usyk of all Floyd's opponents (lateral movement, angles, southpaw), I think its 50-50 fight in their primes. Good fight it would be, the same as Floyd - Loma.

    Floyd would run like a frightened rabbit.

    Usyk would need a KO to win, because of Floyd's dodgy officials. But eventually he would catch up to the craven little prima donna and knock him out.

    Prime Or older May? Older May wouldn't throw enough punches.

    Perhaps he would but no-one else managed too, what makes you think Usyk would have been any different?

    To be fair, Usyk would need 30 more pro bouts for it to be a fair measure of skill.

    Floyd. Usyk is a bit stiff.

    USYK by UD. Too big, at size parity Usyk would be about 5'10 73 reach and is good on the back and front foot and is a southpaw, jab is very good and is good at managing distance, outboxes mayweather just touching him up with jabs and smacks him with the backhand when mayweather tries to close the distance

    What if The Big Show were only 5'2" tall?

    Would he be able to choke slam Ivan Calderon?

    It's about skills and Usyk's skills are not on the level of Mayweather's. No matter who's weight they fought at. If they both are the same size Floyd's would have to be the favored by a wide margin.

    Floyd has always had issues with southpaws, Usyk would be the best southpaw he ever faced, and that includes Pacquiao. Usyk, with his chin, speed, volume, angles, would download Mayweather in 2 and dominate him for the remaining 10, and all of you Mayweather fanboys know I'm right, but will act shocked and appalled and feign righteous indignation, to cover up all of the doubts you have inside.
