    Klitschko in his prime, and Uzyk as a green heavyweight. Would Uzyk struggle against Vlad, or would he make easy work of it like he did against Joshua? I personally think Vlad would cause him all sorts of bother, but what say you?

    I wouldn’t say Usyk is a green heavyweight. There’s rumors and stories that Usyk would get the best of wlad in sparing. Of course sparing in a gym and an actual fight aren’t the same thing but I’d say it’s a 50/50 fight maybe lean a little more toward Wladimer because he actually knows how to use his size unlike AJ.

    Same as above. Wlad knows how to use his size and has monster power. Is Usyk skilled enough to get inside and land on Wlad’s poor chin or even just stay on the outside and try to get the ud? I’m leaning towards Wlad.

    edit - Usyk is highly skilled but settling and going for the ud win against Wlad is risky, lol.

    If there's a fair non biased ref that takes away points or DQs Klitschko for clinching, Usyk stops him.

    Tough fight. I can see Usyk outbox Wlad but Wlad has more dangerous hands Than Joshua. Both the left and the right.

    Usyk could potentielly make Wlad freeze and capitalize on it. Paralyze him gass him out and TKO him (standing of course) Wlad was never knocked out cold. Had a great Chin but a poor gastank especially while panicing under pressure.

    Hard fight to call. Actually leaning towards Usyk.

    When was Wlad ever deducted points for holding or DQ’d for fouling in his career.

    You are referring to an event that never happened to justify a Usyk win.

    Usyk would really struggle to break free from Wlads grip and get any work off.

    I lean towards Klitschko myself due to clinching, but K had a point removed vs Povetkin

    Klinchko would get embarrassed. Any version, the no stamina one or the grabby gun-shy one, it doesn't matter. He was befuddled by Sanders quick left hands, Usyk would clock him at will just the same.

    Wlad jab-right clinch would work enough vs Usyk to win a 9-3 8-4 type ud.
    He was great at that vs smaller guys.
    Usyk os awesome but he would struggle with Wlad using his size and clinching.

    Prime Wlad would destroy prime Usyk in my opinion.

    Usyk loses this one. Usyk would struggle getting through Wlad's safety first defense and Klitschko would win a methodical, dull fight. I believe each round would be competitive but the final score would favor Klitschko somewhere around 9 rounds to 3, 117-111
