    Holyfield in his prime wins at CW or HW.
    As good or better boxer and hits harder.

    There's no point comparing their cruiserweight careers.

    The cruiserweight limit during Holyfield's era was 185lbs, for Usyk it was 200lbs, that's quite a big difference.

    You can compare Usyk's cruiserweight career to Holyfield's early heavyweight career when Hoyfield weighed 205lbs but was fighting much larger opponents like Douglas, Foreman and Bowe.

    Best CW of all time answers by the name of Rocky Marciano.

    Usyk. Even if Holy has the single best win between the two, depth will always triumph.

    Well, yeah. HGH does that.

    Clean he almost certainly loses.
