    Can you think of any light heavy that could upset the apple cart vs Usyk? Mike Quarry? Donny Lalonde?

    Someone I respect said that Ezzard Charles could beat Usyk. I don't see it personally but I respect his opinion so lets go with Charles

    Beterbiev fought him close in amateurs and dropped him. So Beterbiev. Qawi and Holyfield would certainly compete and could win, too. Holyfield and Qawi would hit him downstairs, Usyk would not be able to hang imo.

    Beterbiev defeated Usyk in one of the three amateur fights.

    I have only seen two fights between them and the body shot knockdown, both that I saw Usyk won, so I will look for this.

    I suppose it would have to be Charles. Wouldn’t mind seeing Archie take a crack at him either.

    Holyfield wasn't a light heavy. I'm talking about career light heavyweights. Qawi is a good pick.

    My man Victor Galindez would make that poser Usyk wish he stayed as a amateur...

    I will elaborate further later, kinda busy right now.

    Maybe. But Beterbiev has never stepped foot in the heavyweight division and to my knowledge hasn’t even fought at cruiser. I hear he beat Usyk once in the amateurs but that was long ago and the nuisances of that are too different to really apply
