    Usyk on points. Holyfield wasn't the greatest against slick movers like that.

    Holyfield wins by KO to the body.

    Holyfield would win if his pressure game was at its best, like it was against De Leon. If he tried being technical, I'd probably pick Usyk.

    Usyk - either points or a late TKO.

    Too slick, too good with his feet.

    Evander was a great fighter, but Usyk is the GOAT at cruiser.

    Usyk on points. Holyfield did better against big plodders. Usyk won't let him get set and he'll force Holy to chase him. Usyk has traditionally done very well against aggressive come forward fighters

    Usyk is just basic compared to Holyfield. I don't see how this isn't obvious, but this is ESB.

    Usyk is not stopping Holyfield come on this is a fighter that has been in wars with huge punchers and much bigger men, there is not a snowballs chance in hell a light hitter like Usyk is ever stopping a warrior like Holyfield.

    And I'm actually picking Holyfield by decision.

    Actually pressure is the way to beat Usyk that's why Breidis run him very close and Chisora gave him a rough night.

    Usyk is too busy for EH imo, unless Holy can land something big early?

    Holyfield threw 1290 punches vs Qawi in a war I'm sure he'd be able to keep up with Usyk's workrate.
