If instead of Holyfield you put Usyk fighting 30-year-old Mike Tyson in 1996, who would win?

    Yes , he would for sure frustrate mike with his endless excuses why he is ducking such a fight or refuses to fight at all .

    Should they really touch glooves , mid '90 version of mike finishes usyk inside 5 with body shots , the '88 version breaks usyk's ribs first round .

    Mike tyson faced more than 10 times more opponents than usyk at heavy , not to mention he was one of the hardest hitters ever and a brutal body / ribs puncher .

    No, Tyson`s combo`s were insane, his hand speed was amazing.

    Usyk beats any version of Tyson.

    Usyk doesn’t clinch at all, how is he going to deal with someone like Tyson?

    Tyson was easier to hit during the mid 90`s.

    If Dubios can hurt him; 96 Tyson surely can. Tyson will lose it at some point after walking into Usyks overhand left for 4 rounds- and end up doing something stupid. Some things are just written in the stars. Usyk wins 7 out of 10 times.

    Any punch below the belly button is considered illegal because your bowels are there so a punch can cause a fighter to crap himself, Dubois hit Usyk low several times and then got completely dominated when Usyk recovered.
