    Agree, he's still young and has a long way to go yet. Out of Gassiev, Usyk and Breidis, I'm most excited about seeing Gassiev step up to heavyweight.

    Yes he's a great fighter but a bad boxer.
    He really struggled with basic southpaw boxing tactics vs Usyk.
    Simple shots could of been a game changer on Sat night, it's his understanding of the sweet science that cost him.
    Gas can fight tho

    This is a sad state of affairs. By this logic, the following fighters should’ve never achieved what they did:
    • Benny Leonard
    • Armstrong
    • Canto
    • Arguello
    • Hopkins
    • JMM
    • Rafael Marquez
    • Rungvisai

    we can throw Miguel Berchelt in there too. He was flattened by a tomato can in one round.

    He’s a good example. The fighters I mentioned lost their pro debut, some by T/KO.
