***FLASH SURVEY *** Oleksandr Usyk vs Past Champions (Please Participate)

I'm looking for eager participants looking to share their opinion here in the Classic Section.

Prime version of Usyk vs Prime version of each boxer from the list below. 12 rounds, modern rules. Assume the past champions would have adequate time to adjust, and the luxuries of film study and modern nutrition. Say a couple of months to adjust and a few more nonths for a reasonable modern buildup and training camp. Past champions have the added motivation of an unthinkable payday by modern standards.

Basically, take each of these names and divide them into 3 GROUPINGS:

GROUP A - I favor Usyk to beat Boxer X (for example, John L Sullivan)**PLEASE SPECIFCY DEC OR KO
GROUP B - I view this as a 50-50 pick'em fight that could go either way.
GROUP C - I favor Boxer X (John L Sullivan) to win against ***PLEASE SPECIFY DEC OR KO

You do not have to include every boxer. Any boxer that does not appear in one of those 3 categories will officially count as UNDECIDED - a push for the stats.


Please feel free to ask if you have any questions.

The List is essentially just a simple list of the generally accepted history of the heavyweight lineage. In the case of 2x heavyweight champions (or 3x with Ali) - [basically Patterson, Ali, Holyfield, Foreman, and Lennox] - just choose the best prime version to go up against what you consider to be the best version of Usyk.


THE LIST:

John L Sullivan
Gentleman Jim Corbett
Bob Fitzsimmons
James J Jeffries
Marvin Hart
Tommy Burns
Jack Johnson
Jess Willard
Jack Dempsey
Gene Tunney
Max Schmeling
Jack Sharkey
Primo Carnera
Max Baer
Jim Braddock
Joe Louis
Ezzard Charles
Jersey Joe Walcott
Rocky Marciano
Floyd Patterson*
Sonny Liston
Muhammad Ali*
Joe Frazier
George Foreman*
Leon Spinks
Larry Holmes
Michael Spinks
Mike Tyson
Tokyo Douglas *** (In the case of Buster, you MUST consider the Tokyo Douglas variety)
Evander Holyfield*
Riddick Bowe
Michael Moorer
Shannon Briggs
Lennox Lewis*
Hasim Rahman
Wladimir Klitschko
Tyson Fury (PRIME VERSION)
Tyson Fury (REMATCH)

Use TWO Tyson Furys. Prime version, but also one that is NOT prime Fury and NOT prime Usyk... but the actual Fury and Usyk rematch for their current age RIGHT NOW. Or December, as it were. Hopefully.

 

Hypothetical List....(with far fewer names for the example)

GROUP B: 50-50
