I'd favour a correctly juiced up Holyfield to get a decision over Usyk at heavyweight. Holyfield was so relentless, strong and highly skilled .. avoiding a PED heart scare again, it fuels him to be that bit more busy over Usyk.
Holyfield would have stopped Fury, AJ, and Dubois easy enough.
Ah, the past seen through rose tinted glasses. As much as I loved to watch Holyfield I'd pick Usyk any day of the week and twice on Sundays. Holyfield was a beautiful dynamic puncher, but he just took way too many shots. Did he ever have an easy fight? And Usyk the southpaw? I remember how much Holyfield struggled with Moorer, even in the fight he won he ate that southpaw jab consistently. I like Holyfield against AJ and Dubois. I think he's even money vs Fury and Usyk beats him every time.
Good point about Moorer actually.

He just found sumat to complain about. The fact that it was 8-4 and the fact that the judges barely gave Fury a round after rd6.

FW can score a fight as well as anybody, I don't believe for a minute he thought Tyson won. If planting the seed of doubt gives him a 5% chance of a trilogy over a 0% chance, he'll be out with his trowel.

Apparently.. Spencer Oliver said the 281 was Fury’s weight.

The weigh in we saw was ceremonial and they both weighed in before that officially.

Who knows what Fury was wearing in the proper weigh in. He looked the biggest I’ve ever seen him come fight night though, if he was fighting ngannou we’d be really condemning his training camp.

Really good YouTube video from the pain game (true geordie) scoring the fight round by round. Really highlights how much Fury missed. The more I watch it the more I’m dissapointed in Fury and think this actually might have been a career best performance from usyk. He won this fight bigger (which is not what I thought watching it live). His subtle movements is genius .

They have them at 9am there. You see them all eating before the weigh in on the night.
