Evander Holyfield beat some of the best fighters on the planet during his career.
Holyfield became undisputed cruiserweight champion in the late 1980s, before then stepping up to compete in the heavyweight division.
He carried his success into the banner division, becoming undisputed once again, defeating the likes of Mike Tyson, George Foreman, Larry Holmes and Riddick Bowe.
There is one man that Holyfield feels he may have had a tough time dealing with though, as he told Boxing Social that he may struggle with current heavyweight king Oleksandr Usyk.
“He’s a boxer too and it’d probably have been difficult for me because my whole thing is that I was real good with guys that were bullies, guys that were aggressive. I handled very aggressive fighters real well, it’s just boxers.
“I was a boxer, so I could beat them cause they fought my game-plan. If you ever want to know a guy that would give this guy a problem, find somebody just like him. People who weren’t aggressive were difficult.”
Usyk became the first man since Holyfield to become undisputed at both cruiserweight and heavyweight when he defeated Tyson Fury to claim all four world titles back in May.
He has since had to relinquish the IBF belt, with Daniel Dubois now holding that strap, and the Ukrainian is currently preparing for a rematch with Fury in December.
Holyfield has had his say on the rematch, telling Fury the one thing he must do differently if he is to defeat Usyk this time around.
