    Holyfield in a RD1 KO. Alex isn't tested vs the true elites.

    holyfield. usyk cant hurt him, cant outrun him, cant outwork him. would beat usyk just on aggression. take a look at evander at that time. usyk fights at 220 at hw. take a look at what evander looks like at 217. find me the fat. remember, he is not cutting weight, he is training to max effectiveness. thats why he has so much stamina, so much recuperation, so much explosiveness late in fights. usyks particular gifts dont match up well against this particular package.

    A dream match up this one.

    Styles make fights. Something we hear all the time and for one very good reason, because it is true.

    Siding with Holyfield. Think he's about Usyk's worst nightmare stylistically and prime Holyfield is good enough and mean enough to beat Usyk in a great fight.

    Holyfield was literally a walking pharmacy. He was on the hard stuff and plenty of it which obviously enhanced him greatly. He stands about as much chance of passing VADA testing as Tank does of winning a Nobel peace prize.

    Usyk's natural and optimum fighting weight is 207-210lbs and he's so much better at that weight than 220lbs +

    He bulked up because the HWs of this day and age are super HW giants who are coordinated, fast for their size, and skilled and very powerful.

    The CW sized prime version of Usyk would toy with them and kill them with speed but imagine that athletic phenom was allowed to jack himself with every PED known to science like Holyfield and be awarded a free pass for being super enhanced which would obviously not only artificially enhance him greatly but would also extend his prime which he's been past for years :facepalm:

    Either way, Usyk takes his ass to slick school and all the boxing nostalgists drown themselves in copium and cry oceans of big baba tears whilst lamenting about the good old days
