The only guy we're really missing is Lebedev, but **** him, he's already caught L's from Jones and Gassiev. I'm not quite sure how he still has his title.
Bellew's not in, but his last fight was at heavyweight and I think he's chasing big money fights at that weight.
No Tabiti. No big deal, he's only a prospect, but it would have been nice to get an American into the field.
Perez? Would have been interesting but he's only fought once in 2 years and was a heavyweight before that.
Drozd? Hasn't fought in 2 years and is probably retired.
Overall I'm pretty amped for this.

Like I said Usyk is the odds on favorite if he's in the tournament & I'll be picking him like most everyone else, but he's without question beatable & Gassiev is a cat who can KO anyone in the division if the opportunity is presented to him. Usyk can win 11 rounds & 2mins of a fight against him, but if he f#cks up in the last minute its over. Thats not an easy fight for him.
Idk why we gotta go to crazytown & act like a guy is unbeatable just cuz we like a guy.

And fair play to Bellew with chasing money fights.
I wanted Tabiti in early on, but has this field has gotten so good idk that he & his team should want anything to do with it. Might not be a bad idea to get in as a sub or something doe, but as a main guy idk..
Yea he wouldn't be a bad wild card guy, but I think many of us, maybe myself included, are thinking a lil too highly of him after a win over a low level guy that lotsa guys from prospects to fringe contenders are looking good against.
Amen. If you aren't happy with this tournament, whoever else gets in or doesn't get in, you need to find a new sport to watch.

But idk why you are going on about Gassiev. I'm just using him as an example to illustrate my only point which is Usyk isn't some unbeatable superman.
If you lose 3 rounds to Michael Hunter you are beatable. And like I keep saying I'm a Usyk fan, but I'm not delusional about him being unbeatable either. He's FOR SURE beatable.

Sure he's beatable if you're more skilled than him only ain't no one in the divison with that skill set let alone this tournament.
Gassiev will be a solid scalp no doubt and I hope they fight each other so we can measure our dicks against each other as you put it. Gassiev I don't actually dislike but looking at it objectively I don't see his he beats Usyk.
