Anyone who thinks Holmes has the skills of Usyk is a delusional fool. Usyk is a decorated amateur and pro champion in the contemporary era, not some nostalgia idol from the Murican monopoly days when boxing was basically contested in one zone amongst one community of poor people. Holmes can't outpoint Uysk and he sure as hell can't hurt him. Holmes is going to take a heartbreaking loss from this privileged Eastern European who just wants to come to Murican shores for a better life! He tryin to take dem biscuits off da table from SOG!
Everyone is a fool. Prime Holmes not likely dreamed to go till cards vs Usyk. 15 rounds. 15. Usyk barely had gas tank vs Briedis in 11 th and 12 th round and is overrated for this fight as hypejob. Prime Holmes might be interesting matchup vs 32 y.o Usyk. Holmes not Oly champ etc but he is talented and willing to fight, tough, coming from 15 rounders era. Usyk easily might be statisfied with life in Europe. He is enough well known in ammy and pro circles. Millionare. Looks that he wish to collect further paychecks of course. Nope, his life wasn't poverty even if he didn't had turned into a pro boxer. One stuff yeah, 1988 th Holmes didn't lasted vs 32 y.o Usyk 1 single round. Nor with current Dorticos or Briedis too. Nor with Huck in his version from fight vs Glowacki and nor with current Octopus or Lerena.
