    What a win and resume the winner will have!
    This is THE best fight that can be made in boxing.
    Both already have solid resumes,and both should already be top 10 P4P, I have Usyk 5th and Gassiev 10th.
    So there is a strong case for the winner to be right up there at the top. I wouldn't disagree with anyone saying the winner should be P4P number 1. The winner should certainly be top 3 anyway.

    Absolutely,has to be on par with Ward v Kovalev which was dubbed pound for pound king.
    Both looking to move up to Heavyweight as well which could really shake things up.

    Nope, they have a long way to go. Just because they are bigger, doesn't mean they leapfrog the smaller guys who have dominated for a while.

    Hey, I am a Gassiev fan but he hasn't done enough yet, even after he KO's Usyk.

    If Usyk wins, he's Top 5 IMO, even without Gassiev on his record his resume is almost worthy of Top 5. And if Gassiev wins, he'll crack my Top 10. But neither guy is Number 1 worthy.
