Similar to Adamek, Golota and Lewis, he'd have fared pretty well but come up against a brick wall with Bonavena.
I can't ever go against Ali. The GOAT. Pretty similar fighters except I think Ali just had that extra edge in speed, power, toughness, and that extra trick in his arsenal. Liston was a brutal powerful MF but I think Usyk had enough skill to get the decision here. Frazier's relentless style would be a nightmare for Usyk IMO, I think Joe gets the decision here. I think Usyk is a terrible match up for Foreman, he hated boxers and movers like Usyk. I back Usyk against any version of Foreman. Holmes is a tough one, 50/50 for me. Larry's jab is unlike anything Usyk has ever seen. Toss up for me.
You're missing the context the person I was replying to said that Usyk couldn't stop Witherspoon (which he did) so I responded with Wepner as a joke
Not too sure usyk would beat foreman or the Larry Holmes ( that fought cooney ) that piston jab is everything !!! Ali of 66/67 would beat usyk !!!
Talk about over rate this era of Heavys....First body shot from a prime Foreman would not see Usyk getting up....And he is never TKOing Foreman His chin was granite being knocked out once and fighting till his Mid 40s.....Prime Foreman by Murder.!!!
He would lose in this era but no disgrace as this was the golden era in heavyweight boxing. Fraizer would be a nightmare for him stylistically like he was for Ali and they for him.
