The 25 year old 187lb Holyfield who berbicked Qawi in 4 rounds against Usyk who would have won?

    Someone matched a 187 lbs Holy at 25 against a list of former heavyweight champs and it got me to thinking that was Evander at this weight actually a little too small to beat Usyk?

    You could have asked me to add Usyk instead of starting another thread ;)

    As far as I've seen, yes Holy would beat Usyk

    Holy would've beaten the hell out of Usyk, and so would Qawi, Ocasio, Deleon with less certainty...

    Holyfield stays on top of Usyk the whole fight and puts too much pressure on him.

    I think holy field would destroy him. He would outwork him and stop him in 8

    Usyk is a good deal better than Qawi. I see them as closely matched. I might give the edge to Usyk.

    Really? Not to the first part, but about those other guys beating the hell out of Usyk too. Did Deleon ever beat the hell out of anyone? I mean he dipped and dotted his way past a lot of guys, but I don't recall him dishing out many ass-whoopings. Same goes for Ocasio.

    I'm not sure what it is about those two guys that makes you think they would beat the hell out of a bigger, much stronger, hard hitting, mobile, ring-savy former Olympic Gold medalist like Usyk. Also, Usyk is something none of these guys were at cruiserweight: an undisputed champion.

    Maybe Qawi would beat Usyk, I'd give him a chance out of respect to a great former champ, but I would definitely make Usyk the favorite there. I would also favor Usyk over Holyfield too.
