    Just for the record, Holyfield would have beat Usyk at Cruiserweight or Heavyweight in his prime.

    Based on what? He lost to Riddick Bowe In his prime. Troll.

    Name calling is really childish. It defines you. But maybe that's who you are.
    Holyfield did way more than Usyk has. Much better record, opponents and legacy. He shut down Iron Mike and made him ear biting desperate.
    Usyk has not done marginally as much as Holyfield. 3 fights don't make you a GOAT HW icon.

    Would have been brilliant and very close whatever way it went. 50/50. Two legends.

    Holyfield would have brought the fight and applied non stop pressure and would probably have the strength advantage. His grit was one of his best attributes but Usyk is gritty too and could match him in that area. I think the brilliant movement of Usyk would have been the difference. Very, very close points win for Usyk.

    'Holyfield would have beat Usyk at Cruiserweight or Heavyweight in his prime.'

    As I said... He lost to Riddick Bowe In his prime. Usyk hasn't lost yet... Your post Is flawed. Sorry.

    No it isn't. Despite a loss Holyfield has still beat much better HW than Usyk, including Bowe., Holmes, Foreman, Tillis, Dokes, Thomas.........
    Usyk would have had loses with those guys.

    Okay Snakey. Why would Usyk have had 'loses' with those guys? Break it down Snakey.

    Considering Foreman was 42 years old and Larry Holmes was 43. I really don't understand.

    Usyk KOs Evander Holyfield with ease, in 6 rounds.
    Usyk struggles but gets a close decision win vs Evan Fields

    At HW I'd have to give Holyfield the edge. By the time he roided up to HW he was very difficult to deter.
    Very tough, certainly fought and defeated way better HW's than Usyk has up to this point and beyond.

    At CW, I give Usyk the edge to outbox Holyfield. Win a UD. Here, Usyk had better opposition. Only Dwight Qawi
    was an A level guy in the CW division at the time.

    The Usyk that barely got by Chisora would have been destroyed by Holyfield.

    You are the childish name calling troll. For the record.

    Even the guys that beat Holyfield would beat Usyk. Lewis, Bowe, Moorer but also Thomas or Dokes. Need I go on.
    Usyk was a fine Cruiserweight but hasn't done enough to deserve a title shot yet.
