Comments Thread For: Murat Gassiev: After Usyk Fight - I'm Going To Heavyweight!

[////]

I wish they;d stay at CW and turn it into the flagship division it's long deserved to be.

Instead they will go to HW, get one big payday against a some hulked out mutant they can't even get close to, fade into obscrurity.

At 6'4" Gassiev has a better shot than most but it would just be more fun to see CW keep adding depth.

Dorticos a poor mans Wilder? I've heard it all.

Dorticos is a lot more skilled than Wilder.

Edison Miranda was taking Dorticos' best punches while landing his own. But guys like Wilder get hit with a handful of punches while utterly destroying their competition and are deemed less skilled.

Dorticos doesn't have Wilder's power, height, reach, defense, etc. Can you imagine Edison Miranda taking Wilder's punches the way he did Dorticos?

And the asswipe went the distance with Stiverne Dorticos fought waaaay better competition than Wilder

He's only 24 am guessing he won't fight a top 10 until he's at least 28/29 there's no rush for him... I see him definitely becoming a world champion but can't see him beating the likes of AJ or Wilder he's just not big enough for that at thr moment.

Translation: F**K fighting Lebedev again

Stiverne was a top 5 heavy, Wilder shut him out even with a broken hand, ended his career too.

Dorticos doesn't have a single win over a top 5 cruiser let alone a heavy, the superior division.

I can just imagine what people would say if the biggest punchers at HW went 10 rounds with a guy like Edison Miranda.

Dorticos is 6'3", Usyk is 6'3", and Gassiev is 6'4"! Time to move up, and make the big dollars! MAN UP!

Really don't see the point in rushing to heavyweight, he's still very young. If he has trouble getting to 200 I can understand, but he relies a lot on size and power and that's not gonna translate to hw. Rather see him defend the belts for awhile and gain some experience before he makes the move

he weighted in at 199 against Dorticos, and that would have been with cutting water weight and such, so I don't think it would be a "rush" for him to move up.

It's not like he's Floyd Patterson at 175lbs fighting for the world heavyweight championship
