    In the first fight, Holyfield enters as a massive betting favorite and earns a hard-fought victory by unanimous decision. This impresses Emmanuel Steward, who takes Wilder under his wing and trains him as he works his way back up the rankings. In the much-anticipated rematch, The Bronze Bomber stuns the smaller man early in the 7th, then follows with a barrage that leaves him defenseless against the ropes. The referee waves it off with twenty-one seconds left on the clock as a stunned Don King and Dan Duva watch from ringside.

        Holyfield juiced himself to the gills and was able to beat slow, lumbering HWs, including a completely shot Mike Tyson, after he moved up.

        But Usyk is naturally bigger, fitter, faster, and would be too slick and tricky for Holyfield. Usyk by UD.

            Holyfield was a proven PED user, so I pretty much disqualify him from fantasy matchups. He beefed up so enormously, and kept his speed and sharpness, it was absurd. I don’t have any idea what the real fighter was like, in his human form, without an incredible doping program making him into a robot.

            He belongs with Lance Armstrong, Mark McGuire and Sammy Sosa. That’s his era, his world. A phony.

                I watched those fights on YT quite recently. Usyk is better than both of them. Seriously.

                  Mike Tyson was not shot when Evander Holyfield beat him, just kind of not technically on point. I have always felt that Mike Tyson was more offended by his loss to Holyfield than Buster Douglas.

                  Usyk is overrated, not technically and physically. He will be brutally knocked out by any of the big 3-4 heavyweights even Tyson Fury will knock him out.

                    Evander would RAW dog Usyk.

                      It would be a good fight but Holyfield at cruiserweight was an animal. Too strong, too powerful and too tough for Usyk.
