    I'll pick Usyk on the grounds of having superior angles, movement and much longer combos. I pick him by UD though, I don't think he'd bother Bowe too much.

    Bowe is much better than anyone usyk has fought at heavyweight. I'd expect him to stop usyk unless usyk hits hard enough to discourage Bowe from putting that pressure on him

    I pick Usyk.
    Bowe has that win over Holyfield, but Usyk wouldn't stand in there and trade like Holyfield did. Bowe is not hard to find with punches either, and Usyk is super accurate. Its also another case of someone extremely consistent vs someone inconsistent.
    Usyk by decision.

    Bowe of 92 easily. Possibly by stoppage. Usyk doesn’t really have anything to trouble Bowe.

    Bowe from the 1st holyfield fight would beat Usyk imo.

    Easy pick, styles makes fights and Bowe had poor movement, he tended to struggle with guys that moved and jabbed. Usyk dances circles around him, keeping Bowe on the outside so Bowe is unable to utilise his inside skills or his size. Bowe has the odd moments here and there but loses a clear decision.

    Can I see a bit more at Usyk @ heavyweight before making this call. If he beats Fury I might lean a bit toward him.

    Usyk has to prove he has the toughness of Holyfield

    Fury will test that

    Usyk by decision. Bowe got picked apart by Tubbs ffs. What's Usyk not going to do to him. For what its worth I reckon that AJ is probably better than Bowe in some aspects.
