    Beating Qawi ONCE trumps anything Usyk has ever done. Fighters such as Bellows cannot fight a lick in comparison. Laughable.

    Jirov was good, but Usyk stands him on his head the longer the fight goes

    Bellew isn't where Usyks résumé starts and ends. Qawi wasn't all that at CW anyway

    Gassiev, Breidis and Glowacki beat Qawi.
    Holyfield's run at CW is overrated, he didn't really beat anyone good other than Qawi, who wouldn't be Usyks best win.

    Usyk has what 16 total bouts and he has never been tested. Holy took everything Qwai had to offer which was plenty and in the end won. Holy is the proven entity while Usyk is a comparative nothing. Lots a great looking fighters out there. Few will show they are truly great in a real fight when hit and hurt.

    Please read this carefully

    Usyk has beaten better fighters than Cruiserweight Holyfield did

    Qawi lost nearly all his big fights, tough man, but skills beat him regularly

    A lot of these stupid Usyk threads recently. I typed this in a previous thread. Usyk was down on the score card against a old blown up 175 pound Tony Bellew. The same Bellew who got his butt kicked by Adonis Stevenson in his prime. Usyk looks skilled compared to the slow, untalented guys you see today. Evander Holyfield was skilled no matter what era you compare him too. A prime Holyfiled would knock out Usyk in a few rounds.

    Sometimes size beat Qawi, but it was pretty rare that skills did.

    anyone Holyfield wouldn't have blasted? Evander juiced up and went for the heavyweight money, no cash at cruiser

    I am not sure why you rank the likes of Gassiev, Breidi and Glowacki that highly. They are decent fighters no doubt but they are not on Holyfield's or Quawi's level in my view.

    Usyk had a lot problems with slickness of Bellew. Quawi is a lot slicker than him, I can guarantee you that.

    Do not get me wrong, it may turn out that Usyk is the real deal. But he has still has a lot to prove.

    He did absolutely look not good against Bellew.
    Evander was a pressure fighter, without losing steam like Bellew did. Usyk looked more than beatable in that fight for me.....

    He did not look good because Bellew showed some slickness.Quawi would make him miss much more.
    I had Bellew slightly up on the cards.
