    After Wilder’s win over Chisora, I looked at The Ring’s top 10 to see if I’d favor him against anyone, and the only fighter that stood out as a winnable fight was Gassiev. I’d say I favor Wilder 60/40. What are your thoughts on this matchup?

    We can't trust a guy who loses to Wallin...

    Gassiev by KO Wilder is outside the top 30

    Never thought I'd see the day where Wilder would be voted to win on points.

    I don’t think there are 30 heavyweights better than Wilder.

    Are you referring to the current Wilder?

    I think he’s talking about the current heavyweight rankings.

    Yes. He looked horrible against a shot Chisora and didn't legit drop him. Gassiev losing to the likes of Wallin is the only reason Wilder has a chance

    He didn’t look good against Chisora, but for the level Wilder is at now, I’d say it was a good performance, if that makes sense. While Chisora is clearly past his best, he's the same version that beat Wallin, from what I saw.

    Gassiev is finally healthy, he's ready, and he's WBA regular champ...he wins this with the hook to that skinny body.
