Gassiev vs Beterbiev - Heavyweight - who u got?

[Thuglife Nelo]

Cause we know EE fans don’t like the idea of guys moving up even though they walk around a lot heavier. God forbid RJJ or Toney moving up in weight for challenges...

So if Beterbiev bulked up for a fight against Gassiev who wins? I got Gassiev pounding Beterbiev tbh.

I got Beterbiev beating Canelo

Who do you have

Gassiev is naturally much bigger. Beterbiev doesn't walk around much heavier than 90kg (his own words). 200lbs would be a struggle for him.

He's also quite short too - 5ft10 barefoot.

The context is what Beterbiev calibrates to at 175, to maintain at that class. You can easily slip out, different diet, lift, things you are not supposed to do to bulk up. Beterbiev is about 190+lbs in fight night, easily. Like a Yarde is even bigger. So all Beterbiev has to do is adjust mass like all fighters do moving up.

Will the Hairy Beast Gassiev move down though?

Gassiev is a Unified Cruiser like Beterbiev the Unified LHW. You said he walks around close to 200lbs. He has to maintain that weight to drain for LHW. You do realize 168 guys like Benavidez, Zurdo, Smith were easily 190lbs+ in the ring. They’ve done extremities. Let’s not get scared for Beterbiev wanting a challenge for a HW title. Usyk and Gassiev already done it at Cruiser.

Ok, lets make it happen. Someone pitch a lucrative offer to Beterbiev and make him move up.

I would bet money it that he can knock out someone like Andy Ruiz.

Its a 25lb gap these days.

They should meet in the middle, which is between 185-190.

little spence admitted he walks around inbetween fights at 189! and he dont even look bloated or overweight, if you saw him inbetween fights and didnt know who he was you would still consider him in shape.

Again that doesn’t make any sense. If Beterbiev already walks close to 200lbs, why drain to make 185-190! Lol. Beterbiev is a more disciplined fighter than Spence. Kudos to Spence if he would shave off weight towards a fight likes BJS with guts covered by hoodies or tight shirts... Beterbiev Can weigh 200lbs if he wants, no drain at all. Same as on the scale to fight night. Let Usyk be whatever weight. Let’s not pretend Heavyweights already have awkward gaps themselves versus other opponents.
