Evander Pedlyfield vs Oleksandr Usyk - who wins?

[Rusty Tromboni]

this one has been discussed numerous times in the real forums. why bring it up here?

People forget who Holyfield was, and that’s one of the greatest heavyweights of all time. He would completely outclass Usyk, and pretty much every heavyweight today.

He was a steroid boy my dude.

Lol, you must have been watching a different fight. Do you even know who Bellew and Usyk are?

Oh please, Bellew was ahead on 2 cards when he got stopped.

Evander Holyfield would stop him via TKO.

Faster hand speed, better athlete/boxer, physically stronger and more durable

Oleksandr Usyk is the most overrated fighter of the past 10 years, within the entire sport of boxing.

He lost to a 5'7 old man at cruiserweight whom he got gifted a win. Usyk would humiliate Holyfield 11-1

I think Holyfield used the PED's to move up to heavyweight and compete there.

I think the Cruiserweight incarnation of him was the real Holyfield, who was a beast and would massacre Usyk.

I mean, Tony Bellew was beating him up, what do you think prime '87 Holyfield does to him?

He was beating him up by getting knocked out at 8th.

Evander is overrated, he's a good cruiserweight but Usyk beats him. Old man muhammad almost beats him when he was in his prime. Had Usyk struggled with a 5'7 cruiserweight that was past his prime he would have gotten crucified. But since it's holyfield and people are blind with Nostalgia, he destroys Usyk in 2 rounds.

Like an amateur boxer vs a professional in my opinion.

Holyfield lands the hard shots and roughs him up. A stoppage wouldn’t be out of the question.

Holyfield was possibly the best cruiserweight in history

Only cruiser to give him a fight is Haye, Usyk hasn’t got the power

No he wasn't.

And it's a ****** point to make because we're talking about Cruiserweights, not Heavyweights.

Holyfield wasn't skilled enough to beat Usyk. He'd be troubled by Usyk attack and exit strategy.

No one here seems tobe able to construct an argument for Holyfield otherthan "he was on roids". PEDs are the great equalizer. Look at Teofimo Lopez and Marty Usman who both had great success tonight. Scientists are clearly very accomplished people who make a lot of money doing what they do. So there's no denying that PEDs "work". Butthey're not miracle-makers.

Holyfield would need a miracle to beat a guy who can impose his own offense, while denying Holyfield the opportunity to send return fire. Holyfield loved fire-fights not simply because he was a fighter of the Ward-Gatti Type, but because that's what he knew. And he had to completely switch gears if he wanted to Box. There was no middle ground.

Usyk is too smart and skilled. And that Ukrainian blood means he has the greater heart to win.

Holyfield is on a different level on nearly every area.

Usyk only has one fight at heavyweight and it was an old soft touch.
