FYP.
Gassiev is so young and has such a ridiculously big frame that he'll grow into decently sized heavy. If his stamina and speed don't dwindle too much I'd give him a shot at pretty much anyone at HW. Chris Arreola said he's the hardest puncher he's ever sparred and Ola Afolabi said he's the hardest he's ever been in with. Guys with tonnes of experience. Given his age, natural size and potential to develop even further I think he could cause absolute havoc.
I love Usyk. Such a beautiful fighter and such a funny guy outside the ring. He'll definitely move up to HW too, and who's to say he doesn't box the ears off everyone? His lack of power is a factor for me though. He can keep guys honest perhaps but keep guys off him for 12 I doubt it compared to Gassiev.
Briedis as well is another who could have some joy. Very physical and can box well and won't be roughed around. Already went up to HW and nearly killed Charr, a guy who's fighting a title eliminator against Ustinov.
CW ain't no joke. Who's to say Dorticos can't move up either? Power, talent and size in abundance in that Cruiser top 4.
