175 to 200 is a big jump but I'd say Benavidez if he is just as good at LHW. He is technically a lot better than Gassiev.
Yeah I mean you’re not wrong 175 to 200 is a big jump and Benavidez has been hurt and knocked down by lesser punchers.
People forget how good Gassiev was at CW because of what Usyk did to him. That was a 50/50 with the bookies, Usyk is just goated.
Gasiev is nowhere near what he used to be, but he still has his power and chin. David could be cruising, but as soon as Gasiev lands, it's over; he's too big.
Gasiev going through the weight drain at this age will probably do him in. There is a reason he is fighting at heavy. If we are talking of as today, give me the younger faster guy.
