Of the two, I think Usyk's speed, mobility, stamina and tricky southpaw boxing would be better assets against a super HW than Gassiev's strength and power.
Usyk gave Joe Joyce a boxing lesson over 5 rounds in the WSB, and I could see him doing the same thing to most of the top 5 HWs over 12.
You don't need to ko your opponent to win world titles, as Tyson Fury demonstrated against Wlad.
Yet he's been a pro two years longer than Usyk Gassiev even at his young age is well seasoned and is probably ready to make the leap too.
These two will probably rematch at Heavyweight one day.

Like Bellew, Dorticos would probably be skinny, still soft, but drained at 175.

No surprise the fight of 2018 doesn't involve any American divas. The culture of boxing has shifted toward Eastern Europe and their fighters have saved boxing on a world stage. Now we get to enjoy the fruits of a fair fight with no paid off referees or judges ala Andre Ward and Floyd Mayweather and we can enjoy the best fighting the best under neutral circumstances.
Both Usyk and Gassiev stock rise after this fight but im predicting a fight of the year Usyk SD win over a highly entertaining Gassiev. Both fighters move up in p4p rankings.

Enjoy this fight, it should be a good one. But don't crap on American greatness just because you're jealous.
