205lbs Holyfield (Bowe 1 fight) vs. CW Usyk

We can be more confident of it just because the testing is so much more stringent now... But sure, we can't be certain.

The odds of Holyfield passing the same tests I would put pretty close to zero.

I suspect Usyk would win even with the handicap, but it's true that he's susceptible to dirty fighting sometimes... Certain Headbuttfield could hurt him, but then I just think Usyks speed, movement and IQ make him a particularly tough test for Evander.

 

Genuinely think the best version of Holyfield always beats the best version of Usyk. Holyfield by competitive but clear decision.

 

Usyk outboxes him. Pretty thoroughly too.

 

You may be right about the peds, but I think I'd favour Evander, but wouldn't bet my house on it. I could also see usyk winning

Now mike in his prime? That's a different story and only ends one way for me

 

Yes I think so too. He was an unbelievable fighter, as well as boxer and usyks work rate will not deter him. I could see Holyfield roughing him up and winning a decision

I have holyfield too, but as above wouldn't bet the house on it. Holyfield is WAY better than usyks competition, but I can't say the same the other way.

 

Usyk's cruiserweight competition>Holyfield's

 

Generally its imho an insult to even compare holyfield,s total legacy to usyk,s but talking specifically both in cw its a close call . Usyk was really a goat in cw so not an easy night for holyfield .

 

Agreed
Holyfields hw resume>usyk

Aj and Fury are ******* rubbish compared to the best in the 90s

 

holyfield by UD or late round TKO

 

Yes, usyk is a great cw but at HW he has fought rubbish

Gotta go for Holyfield. Sorry if my post upsets those who are extremely mentally ill who tag me, just my opinion lol

 

I wouldn't call beating two top HW champs who had massive physical advantages rubbish but respect you opinion no hate!

 

Holy for me. A very complete fighter. Especially under George Benton. Usyk doesn't know how to fight on the inside. I believe Holy is capable of taking it there and keeping it there enough for a UD. He does very well on the outside as well. Holy was a Killer
