This is a fight I am AMAZINGLY looking forward to as in my mind, it has future ramifications in the HW division. Who moves on up to HW and how does it end up and why?

I guess, both of them will be there eventually. And both of them have real chances to enter the top-10.

I love Usyk, but at his age, I'm not so sure he can make the transition without "help."

..both, I guess..I'm kinda sceptical though regarding their impact on HW division

Both eventually..

Usyk doesn't have too long to wait. What is he, like 32?

i think usyk will move up straight away regardless of the result and gassiev will move up maybe in a year or 2

He looks like he keeps himself in good condition. I think he could go on for another 6 years. Some boxers age well. Most Olympians look after thenselves.. look at how Wlad kept going?

Plus when Usyk moved up, he's not going to fight pushovers.. he'll be in with contenders.

Gassiev said he's moving to HW regardless of the outcome of this fight, although if Usyk stops him then I think he might reconsider.

Usyk will probably move up unless he loses. He walks around well into the 220s anyways. He could probably outweigh Wilder in a HW fight tbh

hes a recently turned 31 not 41, he probably weighs in as a hw when he doest drain too

that said im sure 'help' would still come in handy, regardless of whether someones a natural hw or not
