I think he beats all of them with the possible exception of Ibeabuchi since Ike was such a brute and had high work rate and wouldn't be deterred in moving forward and cutting the ring. Ike had a cast iron jaw and unlike Fury or Joshua who were reluctant to come forward because Usyk kept hurting them with left hands. But Ike is unlikely to back off. Usyk would have to fight a flawless fight to win. I think its a 50-50 fight.

Witherspoon could give him a hard fight but Tim wasn't exactly a high output fighter. Usyk has excellent work rate. My guess is Usyk's work rate would take over late in the fight and decision him. Usyk is a favourite here though i don't count Witherspoon out.

Outside of that, i don't see him losing to anyone. I love Schmeling and perhaps his counter right could stun Usyk a few times. But Usyk is much bigger, he is faster and he hits hard enough to hurt Max. I think Usyk stops him late or decisions him.

None of the other guys have a chance.
