    The guy I would like to see would have been Gomez at cruiser. That guy and his style is a live underdog.

    Another cruiser I think puts in a solid effort before ultimately losing is Al Cole. I think his boxing skills cause problems to Usyk, but that he has the where with all to eventually overcome the boxing ability of Cole. Distance fight for sure.

    Holyfield vs Usyk

    Both had good feet but Usyks are quicker by quite a distance. Holyfield had incredible counter punching abilities and definitely has the advantage in power and chin, he also seems to have an edge in overall strength. But in terms of ring generalship, IQ and just skill he's out of his depth

    Usyk would know to not give Holy something to counter, there for he'd work of a fast flicking jab, he'd also know that he ain't going anywhere and he wouldn't be able to walk him down. He'd have to be wary of Holyfield's own speed and skill however and so would need to spin and grab Holyfield alot. If Holyfield gets him trapped in a corner he could end it there, but I don't see it happening. Uysks power could keep Holyfield honest and his game plan should be to catch Holyfield at odd angles and force Holyfield into a brawling state of mind then box him at range

    Until I see more out of Usyk, I am going with Holyfield KO Usyk in 10.
