You can have them fight at CW & may choose to use the @208 lb. Evander, since the limit expanded later. Then whatever you think is the best HW version of each. Both undersized for their time, Holy more so on the legs with more upper body mass. Quite marginal height & weight advantage for Usyk. As they were, so allow PEDs for him. They both are high volume punchers, but EH less so above @ 190 lbs. Holyfield likely more power, both great chins & boxing skills, & EH getting into brawls likely would not hurt him here.
I did. Depends on Holyfield imo, he loves to mix it up and sometimes to a fault, whereas Usyk is a bit more calm and just will sit and box.
Usyk would beat Evander more often than not. Now Usyk vs Frazier is stylistically a much more intriguing fight.
Usyk has the edge here. Holyfield doesn't really like slick movers that much and in Usyk he has a guy the same size that moves like a guy a class down. Holy has the p[ower edge I think but he's going to find it hard to use it on a guy that never stands still. Usyk on the other hand is much more flexible and has tremendous stamina. The early fight might be even or in Holy's favour but the second half of the fight will be all Usyk.
I think stylistically Usyk has the edge and that's what makes the difference. There are a number of fighters Holyfield would do better against, but I suspect Usyk outpoints him h2h more often than not.
Good fight. I'd probably edge towards Evander with the extra aggressive style and power. Not ruling out the Ukrainian pugilist though, the angles and combinations can be devastating in any division.
