    To be fair, it's far more than just Usyk: Cruiser is totally stacked at world level, and thus many great matchup have either been made in recent times or are about to be made -- which is not merely down to the WBSS, but, again, because of deep the division currently is at world level.

    True but he fights the best in their prime. And he does it in their back yard.

    He might well have to do it again if Gassiev beats Dorticos ... unless the final is in Monaco or another neutral venue, of course.

    Imo he should stay at cw and fighter every contender even if he has all the titles and then move up knowing he beat everyone because if hw doesn't work at least his completely dominated the weight class like no other fighter ever has

    Yes he is. And soon it will be Usyk, Hrgovic, Sirenko, Povetkin, Teslenko, Parker and Fury all making the HW division great again :thumbsup: Gassiev also should move up to HW after the tourney.

    Cruiser is basically heavyweight. Heavyweight is now is just size.

    Gassiev is better than Breidis in my opinion.

    If Gassiev gets by Dorticos (which I fully expect him to) I think he a very good shot at beating Usyk. Right now, I'd pick Gassiev to beat Usyk via MD.

    Whenever the top fighters fight each other, the division is gonna be great. Usyk is just one piece of the puzzle you have to give all the fighters credit, even the ones who lose.
