    I don't either. But he's a smaller HW(no bigger than Gassiev) but with far worse skills, no chin etc. He gave Wilder all sorts of trouble before before stopped late into the fight. Gassiev would cause Wilder FAR more issues.

    Wilder has fallen in love with his power and was loading up on that guy looking for the one big shot to put him away with a highlight reel KO and that's exactly what he did. If Wilder had just jab moved and boxed he would have gotten him out of there much sooner.

    Wilder would be a favorite but not a substantial one. Gassiev would be his best opponent to date by a considerable margin. The top CW EASILY beat everyone barring the top guys at HW(and even that's a possibility)

    Possibly. His fight with Usyk will tell me even more about him. I think he has a great chance of beating Usyk who will have to stay on his bike to beat him.

    “Look how often Gassiev got hit with jab right hands from Dorticos.” :facepalm:

    Lol:wanker

    The majority of those 1-2’s were caught on the gloves dumb dumb. Did you not notice that during the fight or even see all the praise Murat got after the fight for his effective high guard?? Lol

    Gassiev was competitive with Wilder in sparring and he'd be his best opponent to date after Ortiz.

    Which is why I said Wilder would punch through his high guard.

    He also said Wilder is a hard worker, extremely powerful and has an awkward difficult style.

    And you know that how?? Lol Dorticos has nasty power himself and is actually technically better than your fraud Wilder and he couldn’t even come close to hurting Gassiev.

    I would say I’d make a ban bet with you if Gassiev and Wilder fight, Murat will knock him out. But with you and your history of bets on here... that’s not a good idea is it ;)

    Making a ban bet with a plague rat is like betting against the Tides coming in or the Sun setting.

    It’s a malleable fight actually.

    They’re both Haymon guys.
    Might happen down the line

    This. I like Gassiev, but standing straight in front of Wilder with no head movement is suicide. Gassiev will need to work on his head movement and timing to be able to win against the elite at heavyweight.
