Here’s a fun one. 39 year old Usyk vs 42/43 year old Holmes who was on a senior career peak. Similar size and weight. Two pure boxer types with solid chins, it goes the distance. So, who wins?
I have to say Holmes beats THAT Usyk. Usyk's timing was off, he looked slow, sluggish, ill conditioned. His extra weight would not matter against Larry because he still doesn't hit hard enough to KO Holmes. Probably a dull fight fought at a 'thoughtful' pace with the sharper old Holmes nicking more rounds. A fit, focused Usyk would be a different matter, but remember, Holyfield couldn't look good against Old King Holmes...
