    I win.

    I am talent. I am very talent.

    Serious answer, UD12 Usyk. Gassiev is just that little bit too crude but has the power to stop Usyk from going for the kill like he did against Huck.

    Yeah I agree gassiev has got the power to keep usyk honest but I think usyk's movement will make him a clear winner.

    Usyk beats anybody in this tourney by either a wide UD or stoppage.

    I actually had Lebedev up by one, 7 rounds to 5. Which really says something about the bloke because that liver shot was sickening, any man that can get up from that and keep fighting for 7 rounds must have some serious reserves of cast iron willpower.

    Gassiev has a punchers chance but I think he's too 1 dimensional to compete to win over the full 12.

    Usyk UD something like a 8-4 fight.

    I think this would be a great, great fight. I'd be picking Usyk, but IMO, Gassiev is real and could test him severely.

    When the ring houses this pair of cruisers it will have more skill and p4p ability contained within 20'sq than does the entire heavyweight top 15. Dead serious. Come at me.

    Gassiev is tailor made for Usyk, he is a big punching plodder, Usyk's angles are gunna have him turning constantly. The style that will be the most difficult for Usyk will be Dorticos because he is athletic, unorthodox.

    Lebedev is an underrated talent... Politics prevented him from achieving what he clearly capable of, and that's unifying the CW division. He actually retired earlier in his career for a couple of years because he couldn't get any fights... When he did come back he was robbed by Huck, ducked of a rematch, avoided by YPH among others and then cheated by G-Jones. Also bears mentioning the CW division has been disgustingly underrated by many fans, who only care about the big Vegas fights.

    You, my friend, KSAB north of light heavyweight. (not to say that is to any exclusion of knowledge about boxing south of there, just illustrating that you know the unlimited and 200lb classes better than most. I'd say quite a good deal better than myself, especially with my having dialed back my fandom of the sport in general lately) :thumbsup:
