Gassiev vs Parker - how would it play out?

It goes the distance with Gassiev winning a wide decision but if it is Usyk, Usyk schools parker thoroughly in a wide decision and Usyk schools Wilder in a 12-0 and Gassiev knocks Wilder out with a left hook, Josha and Fury are hard picks.

Cruiserweight is leagues ahead in terms of skill compared to the Heavyweight division. Gassiev, Usyk, even Briedis would beat Parker imho.

Heavyweight are at least 25lb heavier and that makes a difference in power. I don't think nor Gassiev or Usyk beat Parker, Wilder or AJ imo.

25lbs of what though? Excess fat!

It makes a lot more difference in stamina, reactions and mobility than it will power.

Parker in the shape he should be is no bigger than Gassiev.
Gassiev when he moves up will be a legitimate sized HW just an in shape one something fans aren't accustomed to seeing.

That division is in for a rude awakening when the CWs move up. They can't even go a solid 4-5 rounds as is God help them when faced with an imposing specimen like that with that sort of body attack.
