    Two bulldozers, both enormously physically robust, both have appeared in excellent fights with bangers comparable to the opponent here, i'm not entirely sure you could put together a better fight from the decade?

    Huck was in that wonderful battle with Alfolabi (their second fight), a war-torn draw with moments that had to be seen to be believed. Most of all how vulnerable Huck appeared to the Afolabi jab in the first half of the fight. Yet, when Huck decided it was time, he just took the whole fight away from Afolabi, I mean when you say "fight of two halves" this is surely the definitive example. The twelfth was crazy.

    Gassiev, in the end he disappointed against Usyk and injury has kept him out of the HW division, which is a shame, because he's interesting, but that's due to be fixed pretty soon and regardless, nobody who saw him fight Lebedev will forget it. Great exchanges. And Gassiev has proven iron - both these guys do. Maybe even one up, but we'll see about that.

    Who you guys got? This could be one for the ages prime for prime and it's a shame they missed each other. Even mad old Huck would have made a fun fight of it with Gassiev I think.

    Great fight. I think Gassiev on points due to Hucks incredible durability.
