It's Toney.

I figure he'd beat 'em all with Jirov possibly being the biggest problem for him.

None of 'em would be easy.

I can't really be fair when it comes to David Haye's assessments in mythical matchups because I can't stand the guy so I won't give him credit for any win he didn't actually achieve. He's one of my least favorite fighters ever.

Only Holyfield could handle Usyk at this weight.

Dorticos would be the easiest bout, Usyk is levels above him, far more diverse and advanced. He would outbox Dorticos and possibly stop him late.

Jirov is a harder matchup, he's better fundamentally, than Dorticos, he's smarter and he would go for a win, wouldn't rely only on his punch. However, Usyk is still faster, more variable and fluid, he would use his superior speed, mobility and jab to keep Jirov out. Usyk would outbox Jirov clearly in a competetive fight.

Toney would be outworked. He's very good defensively, but his offence wouldn't be enough to outjab Usyk and get to him with power punches. Both wouldn't hurt each other much, Usyk would win majorly on jabbing and activity.

With Haye it would also be a tactical fight. Haye was a good slick boxer, but Usyk is just better at what Haye did best. Moreover, Haye's chin was shaky. So, Usyk would either outbox Haye in a tactical match or KO him, if the fight became more intense.
