    Holyfield for me - whilst Usyk would present inevitable problems I just see Holyfield winning.

    Usyk has more skills, and a higher IQ ring. Dimensions (proportions) exactly the same as Muhammad Ali, and with more muscle it all fits in 200lb (90.8kg)!
    I think Usyk is GOAT in CW in terms of H2H.
    55-45 - 60-40 for Usyk vs. Holfield.

    Usyk has a better resume at Cruiserweight and for the Heavyweight division it is too early to say because Usyk's career is still ongoing and it will be difficult for him to surpass Holyfield's achievement in the Heavyweight division but anything is possible...

    If Usyk toys with Tyson or stops him, what more can he do? He'd be a former undisputed CW champ and an active undisputed HW champ.

    Very true mate. Current circumstances and time are/were probably the only career limiting things that even the great 'Back Door Bandit' that is Usyk couldn't change. He's successfuly climbed every other mountain career wise that's for sure.

    He's up next to Ali if he becomes undisputed, considering what he's going through right now.

    Agreed. And it's kind of ironic in that both fighters are/were fighting for important world level human rights/causes outside of the ring as well as being top dogs inside.

    Ones already known in history for that, the other is now well on the way.

    Legends.

    Yes sir. Usyk is too unappreciated.

    Holyfield was team tough, I can't see Usyk hurting him and being unable to deter him in any way.
    Holyfield at CW 75/25; at HW it's no contest...Holyfield beats him up in a wide UD.

    It's a really difficult one to call... I like both and there clearly the best two at Cruiser ever.
    I really can't decide. Usyk has more skill and Holy has more power both are determined although we've seen Holy drag a fight into deep waters and dog it out. I think it's a very competitive fight with both men facing the best opponent in their respective careers.
    It's really a coin toss for me at Cruiser. I've not seen enough of Usyk at Heavy to compare them there.

    I’ll buy that for dollar. Great fight prime for prime. Still undecided who I would favor.

    Heart goes with Holyfield but logic says Usyk.
