Cruiserweight>Heavyweight, so why should Gassiev/Usyk move up?

Cruiserweight doesn't matter, only heavyweight division matters in boxing.

I like the idea of Gassiev at heavyweight. He looks far more fundamentally sound than many of the guys AJ or wilder have been facing. He's got a good chin, good power, good height and a good enough workrate to trouble them, I think those attributes combined are more than enough to overcome size.

Maybe if it was refereed fairly, but these days the tall heavyweights who are the A side seem to be able to use clinching and wrestling illegal tactics with impunity.

Can you imagine a referee docking AJ a point for holding behind the head and punching as he does in every fight? It wouldn't happen. He'd be allowed to get away with using the size advantage.
