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

Holyfield

 

Holyfield wrecks him in 10.

 

I like what I see from Usyk so far. But, Holyfield was a beast back then. Holyfield by decision or late stoppage.

 

This.

 

Dwight is relentness and very tough. I am not sure Usyk would be ready for him. He would have a hard time landing a clean shot against Dwight. Huge step up in class.

 

Holy's sloppiness would catch up with him.

Unanimous draw.

 

Quawi is a lot slicker than Bellew and Usyk had trouble connecting on him. Quawi's size and slickness will make it hard for Usky to land notable shots. On the other hand, Quawi would work that body and push Usyk backwards all night. I have a feeling Usyk would not like it.

 

Holy and Spinks were better movers than Usyk. I do not think Usky likes to fight on his back foot too much. Would be an interesting fight.

 

USYK TAKE HIM OUT IN 5

 

When do you guys think Holyfield first started juicing? I always kind of assumed it was around the time he moved up to heavyweight but he had a pretty ridiculous physique at cruiserweight too. Regardless, Holyfield would never pass modern day VADA testing, which Usyk is enrolled in.

 

Important, and seemingly overlooked elsewhere on this thread.

Holyfield's record against southpaws was poor; he was 1-3 in his notable fights against lefties (Moorer x2, Byrd, Ibragimov). Usyk's frame is as big as any of those guys, and would have a decent size advantage over a cruiserweight Holy.

I'd favour Usyk under those terms. A prime heavyweight Holyfield may be a different matter.

 

Qawi was a best for sure, but I believe Usyk's movement wins a UD.

Holyfield would most likely win a UD but pre-PED's Holy was different than the PEDed up
Holyfield, so it would be a close an exciting matchup.

Nobody is destroying anyone.
