    These 2 moved up from cruiser to heavy weight what is the outcome if both met in the heavyweight division.

    Holyfield

    Usyk obviously talented and very good, but he's fought exactly 1 top ten heavyweight (I know his cruiser resume is outstanding)

    I favor Holyfield but if I am honest nostalgia is a contributing factor. This is pretty close to a 50/50 fight.

    If I understood correctly Holyfield and Usyk are the 2 best cruiserweight category boxers ever. And the third best is behind them by two shades :)
    Judging by this and this topic:
