Holyfield would be an AWFUL match up for Usyk

[Earl-Hickey]

Sorry Usyk nation.

Holyfield is a 15 round fighter who can force the pace and stick to his opponent like glue, fighting inside, causing a messy, ugly foul-filled fight which is literally Usyk's worst nightmare.

Usyk will try his fancy twinkle toes stuff but Holyfield would just march forward like Chisora did but with far more educated and effective pressure.

I see Usyk wilting under the barrage of punches and headbutts and being waved off in a corner late.

At Heavyweight, Evander Holyfield beats Uysk. His endurance was greater, inside fighting capability was greater, faster hand speed and better combination punching.

I am also not so sure, that Usyk boxing skills are really so much greater. Evander Holyfield was the complete fighter, his second fight vs Rid**** Bowe he won that fight due to technical adjustments. Also even during the latter part of his career again, he adjusted against Lennox Lewis and pushed him in the second fight.

Holyfield was not a brawler, he was the complete fighter. There was nothing he could not do inside of the ring.

- -Field has a 26-10-2 record at heavy with something like 30% KOs, a peashooter.

Usyk already exceeded Field's heavy record and beat bigger fighters to boot. He'd have to lose his next 10 fights to match Field, but he ain't the kind to hang on to fantasies like Vander tragically did

[DaNeutral.]

Evander Holyfield was pumped to the gills with PEDS as were most the fighters of the era.

It would be interesting to see evander with modern day drug testing
