    Are there any cruiserweights that could do the same thing that Holyfield and Usyk did?Or would the skill and size prove to be too much for cruiserweight contenders?

    Briedis is the obvious option.

    I’m sure plenty could if they competed. You’d probably be surprised by some LHWs too.

    I think that a few of the current boys could have success at heavyweight.

    Breidis, Gassiev and potentially Hunter. Comparing them to a Holyfield etc is a high benchmark that almost no one will live up to, but these guys could definitely win a strap.
