Who wins: Oleksandr Usyk vs Prime Larry Holmes

[Jacobson]

Usyk got past the giant Fury, but could he have found a way to get past the jab of the Easton Assassin?

Usyk from the Fury fight vs Holmes from the Ali fight.

[JamesChampion]

I don't hold out much hope.

[TheProudLunatic]

Usyk is good....but let's get ahead of ourselves.
He's shining in the worst HW era ever.

[NihonJim]

I think an elite jabber gives Usyk problems and they don't come more elite than Holmes.

that or any of the 4 great swarming heavyweights

Usyk body is suspect

This would be a closeer match up than most classic fans will admit.

A SD or Draw has a higher chance than normal!

Holmes has the ege in toughness and his jab. Usyk the edge in footwork and many have a better defense.

This is hardly the worst heavyweight era ever sir.
Holmes is just a better heavyweight than Usyk.
No disrespect intended.

[Tatabanya]

Fascinating fight. I really could not tell who would win, but one thing I know is that Holmes was definitely badder than Fury.

- - So Elite that Duane Bobick knocked him out of the US Olympic Tourney in spite of being tutored by Ali.

So Elite that his was the Giant SUCKING Sound that followed the retirements of Ali, Norton, Frazier, and Foreman.

So Elite that Bobick notched a Ring Ranking before Tubby Lar who was still skinny then.

So Elite that he chose to fight Bobick's alcoholic younger Brother Rodney rather than Duane.

So Elite that he was 23-0 fighting 5-1 totally unknown 5-1 Horace Robinson, , buried deep in the Young/Foreman undercard in Puerto Rico.

So Elite that his jealously over 4rd Celebrity fighter 350lb ButterBean making bigger purses with more fans than Lar challenged him into a fight buried deep in the undercard.

So Elite that he ran from ButterBean for 10 rounds while Bean was laughing at Tubby Lar for the whole fight.

So Elite that Bean knocks him down in the closing seconds of the 10th where embarrassed Tubby Lar jumps up to ride the ropes to the other corner while fleeing the Ref's Count for his last moment in boxing

Thanks fer the comedy fellers. BS always delivers!!!

I’ll take Holmes by decision. Both guys really epitomise knowing how to dig deep to win so I suspect the championship rounds would be particularly interesting.
