Murat Gassiev vs Anthony Joshua

Reach is 76 inches, same as Parker. Andy Ruiz and Chisora are 74. Whyte and Usyk are only 78.

I get it that it could be deceptive because of his proprotions, but is still doesn't seem all that inordinate. Especially considering that he has an excellent and versatile arsenal of punches he can get you with.

As for being slow, yeah, because outside of Usyk, there are just so many guys competing to the the next Ali these days, aren't there? I mean, if he stayed away from Usyk, Wallin...maybe Sanchez, he could would have no trouble at all hitting anybody, imo.

 

Agreed...

 

Fancy AJ on track record. Gassiev is not proven at HW yet.

 

He's stumpy and doesn't seem too fast, so it's possible AJ hits him long and finishes him, or just does a Ruiz 2 points runner, let's be fair.
But if he gets inside and lands the hook, then AJ could definitely be revisiting the day at Pricey's gym.
Definitely an interesting fight, which is why Hearn and AJ wouldn't want it.
Let's remember they just ducked Fury and Whyte to fight Franklin.
No way are they fighting a KO artist now, even a cruiser.

 

Difficult to pick a mental midget like Joshua against anyone now… his own words “I’m not a twelve round fighter”

Gassiev via aj QUIT would be my conclusion

 

Lets be honest here gassiev kills joshua

 

Not a fight AJ would take but I still see AJ winning a safe shut out points win.

 

Gassiev could very well win it.

 

The level of exageration from folks is pathetic at times. As if AJ only fought weak punchers until Ruiz....

TKO'd once....fought Usyk well in the rematch, now anyone can KO him. This board sometimes....
