[PRIME] Oleksandr Usyk vs. [PRIME] Evander Holyfield

Well of course I would certainly prefer that all fighters were clean, but I tend to think most of the top guys are on something. But in any event, Holyfield-Usyk would've been very interesting indeed!

 

Although Holyfield lost to lewis. The first fight was competitive. Would Usyk if done as well against Lewis?

 

50/50 IMO. Either could win, definitely the two best cruisers, and both became heavyweight champs.

 

Prime Usyk outboxes him

Prime Usyk on Holyfield roids would outbox him without losing a round

 

Holyfield destroys usky

4-6 round job or decision if he runs for his life

 

Hate to be sounding like that guy that thinks old time fighters are better...but in this case absolutely. Prime Holyfield would dispatch Usyk quite easily IMO. Usyks awkward style vs Holyfield's relentlessness would IMO at worst be a an easy UD for Holyfield just on appearance alone. Usyk wouldn't have a speed advantage to befuddle Holyfield.

I don't even think this fight would be remotely close to be honest.

 

That's quality trolling right there. Kudos.

 

The problem with Holyfield is that he would talk about boxing, get hit and start a brawl. Holyfield would just wing eight or nine punches like a madman and forget the technical part of what made him great.

If Holyfield could maintain his discipline, box when he needed to and use his "veteran tactics" I could see him making every round close. Usyk is the bigger man and is a master level boxer so unless it gets dirty (see: Headbutts from Holyfield) Usyk would probably win this 7-5, 8-4.

 

That's quality trolling right there, kudos.

 

Firmly on the fence in this one That's in picking a winner and rooting for either as I like them both.


I can see ways for both men to win.


I'm calling it a draw.
