I pick Oleksandr Usyk because of experience mainly at the highest level of boxing and more versatile boxing skills.

Gonna rewatch Gassiev vs Dorticos once more and make my final decision. Picked Usyk, then after their last fight went with Gassiev.
Styles make fights and looking at their last bouts you wouldn't be a fool to favour Gassiev, HOWEVER it all depends on whether Gassiev can hit Usyk first. Usyk likes to play it like a chess game, slowly warming up until he figures you out and then takes over little by little as the fight progresses. Breidis didn't allow him to do that, as he had a quick jab and could pressure Usyk and hit him in close, so Usyk never really got into a groove.
If Gassiev is more of a stationary target Usyk might be able to dance around him and slowly figure something out.
