    Evan stands about as much chance of beating VADA as Leo Santa Cruz does of unifying the HW division.

    Yeah, Holy had his nemesis and avenged the 15 rounds slugfest with Qawi. Done too much for me to consider Usyk. Maybe in 3 or 4 years I'll reconsider as for now. Holy All day, anyday.

    as things stand Holy is the movre able CW but we should wait till the Witcher has wrapped his career before we place final judgement.

    Evander had major problems against fighters like Usyk so it's not a leap of logic to assume he has more problems here. A bit unpopular perhaps but I have Usyk winning against Holyfield in a scrappy close type of fight.

    That's the thing. I have a hard time assessing how good Holyfield really was due to the drug use. It's a pretty clear case with Holyfield.

    I have complete respect for his work ethic and will to win but...he was juiced to the gills at a time when most were not.

    Certainly some of his "edge" came from PEDs. How much we will never know.

    I don`t tink either bout with Tyson was a war, Mike was completely ineffective in both those dissapointing fights.

    CW was a bigger heavier division when usyk fought there
    I think usyk would clearly outpoint holyfield

    This is getting stupid now. Usyks a great fighter but he,d get beat down against holyfield at heavyweight. Fans need to stop thinking skill is the be all and end all in a boxer. Lomachenko and usyk both overrated based on their high pleasing to the eye level of skill. Takes more than skill to win a boxing match tho. Holyfield was pretty much the complete package.

    Hit way harder than usyk...was more accurate...had a crazy competetive spirit. And would match usyk punch for punch. Not even a massive fan of holyfield. Have a prime tyson beating him....but he was a fighter and a half. He,d have battered witherspoon in about 2 or 3 rounds.
