    This isn't a question on career, but who would you guys pick to win a fight, or series of fights if they crossed paths?

    For me it has to be Usyk on points, but a tough fight. I have usyk coming from behind to clinch it in the final rounds

    In my opinion I don’t think Usyk can KO Wlad. I can see Wlad being satisfied using his reach and size advantage and employ the jab and grab tactic to a 7-5/8-4 win. Fury was able to nullify that because he was bigger and had a longer reach than Wlad.

    I expect wlad to win the poll, but I think usyk would outwork him and his underrated power, while punching from angles could unsettle wlad

    Wlad won't bully or clinch usyk easily, especially with his judo/wrestling

    It's a tough fight, but usyk takes it down the stretch.

    Usyk. Almost nobody is outboxing Usyk. The way to beat Usyk is to bring the fight to him.

    That’s very possible as Usyk has shown the ability to elevate to the highest level possible to defeat his opponents. AJ and Fury definitely were much better in the rematches and Usyk performed even better.

    Usyk find ways to win, Wlad finds ways to lose.

    Exactly how I see it going, he’d have some mid round difficulty but pull it off in the championship rounds

    Usyk close points win. Wlad would have his moments but Usyk is the better boxer.

    I think if somebody was to beat Usyk over the different eras it wouldn't be Wlad.

    Vitali would have a better chance.

    I agree about Wlad, but I’m thinking if Byrd can frustrate Vitali the way he did, Usyk could do it too, and do it better.

    I agree too but I could see Vitali having a better chance not necessarily winning, if that makes any sense.

    Vitali was definitely the mentally tougher brother, for sure
