    His resume also far stronger than Usyk’s as well and incomparable. A by product of fighting in a much better era.

    But yes, he was clearly a cheat

    I think it would be very hard task to find a clean heavyweight from 90s, so it's not like Holyfield was a steroid cheat that was competing against clean athletes. They were competing on even playing field

    Losing to John Ruiz doesn't make him greater than Usyk

    Evan Fields was the drug abuser, not Holyfield.

    Are there seriously people who think any boxer in the top 10 of any division are clean? At that point promoters and managers must be pushing you to take them to maximize their earnings

    That may be true, but it does mean that you can't use the eye test to compare a juiced to the gills fighter with a clean fighter. Usyk gets the nod over Holyfield based on having achieved everything while clean, and in the opponents back yards. Holyfield, no matter how good he looked, did it while juiced to the gills.
