No matter the weight class Holyfield beats Usyk.

I think evan fields beats usyk, but holyfield was too slow.

I'm not even sure he beats Vasilly Jirov with his work rate. Now that's a hott take. *Facepalm*

Usyk threw a lot of punches at cruiser, and wasn’t as easy to hit as he is at HW. Evan Fields has his hands full at CW, at HW I would favor Evan.

only a fukin idiot would have believed otherwise. A lot of guys just started watching boxing during Mayweather's era. After every win by a current fighter, they instatnly claim they can beat guys of the past. I've seen guys claim a 35 year old Bud would beat a 24 year old Hearns at 147. It's getting crazy. NO way in hell does a prime tyson, Bowe, Holyfield, foreman or HOLMES, lose a 39 year old hw that can't take it to the body. FOH. I'm not even sure he beats Vasilly Jirov with his work rate.

Bruce Lee would dragon punch through solid steel, Arnold Shwarzenegger can pick up Muhammad Ali and throw him out of the ring, Van Damne can kick the head off Chuck Norris and Steven Seagal can use his secret ancient technique to kill any man alive. If you are from the USA and black, you likely look up to sportspeople as your father figure (I wonder why?) and overrate them. We have actual video evidence of these people fighting, so the mythological status attached to these fighters is completely stupid and unwarranted. (Ali for instance - great for his time but would be dogshyt in this era - literally on video). African Americans ruled boxing when their only competition were wealthy, middle class whites in the UK and US. Now that the sport is truly worldwide you have to keep looking back in history to find your black Goliath. It's nauseatingand we all have to pretend as if we are appeasing special needs children. Also don't forget the drug cheating.

Close fight either way, gun to my head i would probably pick usyk but with little confidence.

They all have PEDs to beat modern drug testing, they are all still on PEDs, the drugs just changed. Really? You have first hand knowledge of this I assume? Care to elaborate? Don't state your speculation as if it is fact.

Fair enough. But can Holyfield beat modern drug testing? Might be a whole other ball game under WADA style testing. They all have PEDs to beat modern drug testing, they are all still on PEDs, the drugs just changed.

he will pressure usyk and dig to the body. he has the footspeed and chin to walk through Usyk's offense.

Hes got the right style for it. Someone to pressure him and close the distance, someone not afraid to get hit and not fight him scared and try to outbox the superior boxer. Agree holyfield wins at cruiser or heavyweight Usyk is probably the second best cruiser in history though...
