Didn’t realize how tall Gassiev really is... good lord

IDK how serious you are in this post.

I mean it doesnt speak well of your analytic/analogy skills.

Well explain away, Al Bernstein.

Well explain away, Al Bernstein.

I can if you want?

Photo A shows Gassiev stood next to Golovkin where he is clearly much bigger than Golovkin.
Photo B shows Golovkin (whom we've seen in Photo A is much smaller than Gassiev) standing next to former heavyweight Mike Tyson, where they look similar sizes.

Ergo Gassiev is actually bigger than Tyson was and thus could probably hang at heavyweight. Although i'm not too sure on the validity of that considering Tyson is small for a heavyweight from this day and age. Think Gassiev would struggle with the likes of Joshua, Wilder and maybe Ortiz and Parker too.

**** his height, look at his damn neck

The mofo has a dinosaur leg for a neck.

Wow lol.

That's what he meant?

Tyson was 5'10". And GGG standing next to Tyson doesn't show their size, just their height.

doesn't even show their height proper since Triple G is closer to the camera.

regardless though, the HW division isn't what it used to be. It's the land of giants now. 6'4 used to be a huge fighter, now it's basically the bare minimum for top HW's

Height of those Tyson fought (if known by boxrec):
6'2"
6'4"
6'2½"
6'2"
6'6"
6'4"
6'5"
6'1"
6'6"
6'4"
6'2"
6'0"
6'1"
6'5"
6'3
6'1"
6'0½"
6'5"
6'4"
6'2"
6'4"
6'3"
6'5"
6'5"
6'3"
6'3"
6'3"
6'2½"

So it seems the average that Tyson fought is around 6'3" or the same height as Gassiev.

[soul_survivor]

Gassiev is reported at 6'3'' but looked shorter than Usyk, who is also supposedly 6'3''. So someone is lying.

Edit: LOL just remembered it was breidis Usyk fought

So, if Usyk and Gassiev are the same height, than the latter is definitely the bigger/muscular guy.

[oscar9992]

Tyson is very short actually, only 5'10.

That's dwarfesque in modern HW boxing.

Gassiev looked taller than Usyk when they were face to face, not much taller, but taller.

Fact is Gassiev's physique is like an optical illusion. His thick neck, sloped shoulders and short arms make him look stockier and therefore shorter than he really is. Looking at him he barely looks 6ft but in reality because of his weird body proportions he's much taller than he looks.
