Usyk might steal some rounds but eventually Wlad hits him with something solid and it's over. It's how I think it would go with Joshua also but I'd give Usyk a better chance with Joshua as Joshua's tank is smaller.Comment

P4P, I'd go with Usyk. Wlad's only advantage would be weight, if it was held at heavyweight. Wlad had never dealt with the movement Usyk brings to the bout in his entire career. He's also known to gas, and his infamous huggings wouldn't work with Usyk.
Usyk UD.

depends how much the ref lets grabomir get away with, which was usually a lot. he was pretty much unbeatable against smaller fighters with his jab grab lean routine.Comment

The prime Wlad was damn good and I doubt many heavyweights in history would beat him. He was knocked out a few times by big punchers before he hit his prime with Steward as his trainer. Then he went on a very long run as champion and nobody could beat him. Usyk is a great cruiserweight but he can't beat Wlad on points because of Wlad's jab and good long range boxing skills. He doesn't have the punching power to KO Wlad either.I think Wlad wins by ud or KO.Comment

The fight would have to be at heavyweight. Wlad is lean at 245 and could never weigh in at 200 pounds. Usyk is very tricky and skillful, throws tons of punches and doesn't get hit clean much. Maybe he could beat the prime Wlad or any of today's heavyweights.P4P, I'd go with Usyk. Wlad's only advantage would be weight, if it was held at heavyweight.
