    He was an OK fighter but a win over him doesn't put Evander above Usyk. Holyfield lost to Fat Toney and Moorer ffs.

    He's small and unskilled compared to Usyk.
    Holyfield was 40 years old when he lost to Toney

    He also lost to Moorer right before he had to retire with heart problems.

    Again, these things have to be put into context.

    The Holyfield of '90-'92 was a whole different animal

    Usyk strugged with Derek Chisora & Chazz Witherspoon, who AS A PRIME FIGHTER.

      u would have to be a pole smoking smooth brain to think otherwise
      Bowe's win over prime-Holyfield is greater than anything Fury's done in his damn life.

      And Fury's 35 years old, now.

      Usyk isn't beating the late 20s/early 30s version.

      Are we forgetting Fury almost lost to a guy who'd never boxed before in his last fight?

        Prime Riddick Bowe was getting the crap beaten out of him in 2 fights against Andrew Golota and only won because Golata got disqualified for low blows in both fights.

        Usyk would box the socks off Bowe if they were in the same era.
        Lennox Lewis is one of the greatest HWs ever, so I don't kno0w how that somehow makes your point.

        And by the time Bowe fought Golota he was far past his prime.

        that's how I know you don't know what the hell you're talking about.

        Nobody considers post Holyfield Bowe as "prime Rid**** bowe"

          I agree, but he looked at Holyfield's PED use as disqualifying/

          I'm saying Usyk's pretty su****ious himself

            I think 60lbs over 21 years is doable. Especially when 5 of those years are during puberty.
            Usyk was 19 when they fought in December of 2006 at 165lbs.

            He fought Fury at 223 at 37.

              Win, lose or draw, Holyfield was a fuckin' warrior, man! He took on all comers: Toney, Byrd, Rahman, Ruiz, Lewis, Moorer, Tyson, Czyz, Bowe, Mercer, Holmes, Cooper, Foreman, Douglas, Steward, Dokes, and Thomas. Shit, I don't even have to look at boxrec to know who Usyk faced in the HW division who's worth mentioning: AJ, Dubois and Fury. FOH!

                Usyk was almost 40 when he whooped Fury. Imagine what he would do to Holyfield in his prime (like he was at 32 when he lost to bum Michael Moorer- one of his 10 losses)

                Evander has 10 losses including many to low tier heavyweights. Usyk has zero losses.

                  I rank Usyk higher. Mostly because of the multiple losses but h2h, I’ll take Holyfield.

                    I get that but when Holyfield was competing in that division the limit was 190. Now it's 200. I am not faulting Oleksandr at all. It's just is what it is.

                      Wow. What a detailed response.

                      Let me guess, you think Fury is better than Bowe?
