Ben Davidson would not allow Moses Itauma spar with ether Anthony Joshua or Fabio Wardley 'and I have always found this to be very dubious of him'.
I think people are getting way too high on Moses Itauma right about now. He has beaten nobody in the professional ranks, and he has not been involved in a real fight as of yet.
Note: All of his fights have been manufactured in a way, so the likely-hood of him winning is super high 'I think even fighting Anthony Joshua at this stage of his career, is not the type of fight Frank Warren would want to put him in'.
Certain folk may mock Anthony Joshua, but the reality is? He has the ability to suddenly switch on and obliterated most of the fighters in the Heavyweight divisions besides Oleksandr Uysk'.
I don't think skill for skill that Itauma is a better boxer than Joshua, and really? I think Itauma's power is being overrated.
To conclude: In my honest opinion, I am seeing signs that Moses Itauma could be another front runner like Daniel Dubious 'Itauma has been taken the distance before, by Kostiantyn Dovbyschenko. And during that fight, his offense appeared to be increasing useless as the rounds progressed'.
Traits like that don't just disappear, in fighters 'why was his endurance so under-par in that fight? Was he partying and taking in easy like David Haye was before he fought Carl Thompson? No, because no reports of Itauma with those stories have ever surfaced'.
But since that fight, the narrative with is career has been 'we want to match him vs. fighters that will give him rounds. I don't think this is entirely true'.
If Itauma's team wanted to give him rounds, he would not been fighting Dillian Whyte and Jermaine Franklin 'two fighters miles outside of their peak, and especially in the case of Whyte he has sustained heavy damage throughout his career'.
Even when Dillian Whyte was at his peak vs, Anthony Joshua 'he only survived in that fight, due to buying himself more time after Joshua hurt him badly in the opening round'.
If Anthony Joshua keeps on fighting, then this fight may be inevitable at some point 'and of course I would back Joshua to win'.
Note: I did not vote in the poll etc.
He didn't survive he got stopped.
He beat Barrera, Morales, Marquez, Hatton, Cotto, Margarito, Timothy Bradley, & he beat Keith Thurman at 40 years old when Thurman was a decade younger & on P4P lists.
And he didn't have to weight drain him to do it.:rolleyes:
You must have forgotten or missed the fact that Pacquiao made Cotto come in at a catch weight of 145 pounds. Also, Margarito was not in his prime and that fight was also a catch weight fight. So you can't claim that Pacquiao never drained his opponents.
It's interesting that you put Hatton on the list ignoring the fact that Mayweather stopped Hatton before Pacquiao fought him.
Mayweather also easily beat Marquez before he knocked out Pacquiao.
It was a good win for Ryan. All the Haney clingers trying to discredit Barrios. Meanwhile, Barrios landed 19 more punches on Ryan than Haney did. Only went down once and not three times.
The fact that you're using punch stats to analyze a fight speaks for itself.
I think you are confused. I said when people labelled them these 4 kings and Shakur wasn’t even in that idea. You seem to get super worked up over nothing with your attitude. If ya reply, don’t expect a response. I can’t deal with feminine men.
That's not what you said.
These are some of the worst welterweight champions I have ever seen. I remember the days when the welterweight division was the most competitive and best division in boxing.
Shakur's been in boxing how long now? And he's surprised he has to pay the mafia? For the rest, he has no intention of going back to 135, so why make a fuss? Because he's Shakur...
Where did he say he was surprised? Do you see that anywhere? Didn't think so. But nice try at attempting to deflect from the WBC to make this appear that Shakur Stevenson is the crook in this.
For all of those mentioning Pitt Bull he blatantly ducked Shakur 2 years ago. Some people have short memories. So no. He doesn't even believe he would beat Shakur Stevenson.
They are in two different weight classes so there s no urgency for them to fight. Neither fighter is known for ducking opponents so I don't understand why you're implying they're afraid of risking "0"

I didn't Know All PUERTO Ricans Were Africans?
Zayas and Bad bunny are so black. His dad was more light skin than him. Shakur is black do to the mom.
Puerto Rican are LATINO you IDIOT, Be Educated. Latino is not a Race is a Location.
Latin America.
No where in my quote did I say that or anything like that. Looks like your low level of education didn't improve your non-existent comprehension skills as well.
Crawford and Shakur have broken you mentally after the ass kicking they gave your Latino heroes lol
Weakness is not countering anything I just said.
Be a real boxing fan. Admit the commentary, crowd, and judges were all pro-Shakur.
Because Shakur was dominating the fight. Giving Teo one round was generous.What did you want them to say?
Just because you wanted to lie to yourself with your bias and pretend that Teo was doing something positive in there doesn't mean the crowd, the commentary, or the judges have to subscribe to that type of foolishness and ignorance.
The quote was "very rare does a Latin beat a black..."
Ol boy pointed out Stevenson's dad is Borikua. No where in there did he say anything about PR's being a race. But if you ask any of them, it dont matter what color they are, they are Borikua. Maybe your level of comprehension isnt as high as you thought, kid.
Latin is not a race either. I guess you still don't realize there are black Latino's. So you're statement makes absolutely no sense. Brush up on your comprehension skills because that does absolutely nothing to refute what I said.
You let me know how do you beat a person who only jabs and steps back all night? Are you literaly going to run after him? If you go forward he catches you with the jab or he steps back, rince and repeat for 12 rounds.
There are a lot of ways to beat a fighter that only does that. However that's a ridiculous description of how Shakur Stevenson fights. But this is typical of ignorant casual fans that ignore things that Shakur does like body shots, combinations, fighting off the ropes, inside game, faints and various other skills he has.
Originally people like you said all he does is run which is another lie. But since it was pretty obvious that he wasn't running in this fight you want to come up with another ignorant description of his style because you have an agenda against fighters that look like Shakur Stevenson. This has been going on for a while. Mayweather used to get that from people like you also Pernell Whitaker. Their dominance over fighters that you racially prefer is what bothers you the most.
Shakur's dad is Puerto Rican.
Yeah. A black Puerto Rican. Apparently you never reached a level of education that would teach you that Puerto Rican is not a race.
The only who has chance is Devin Haney. Jab vs Jab all night. Not to much entertaining Matchup.
Everyone so up Shakur's ass. What does he do great, Jab and Step back? What else.
He dominates all of your Latino heroes. Busted up Teofimo's face with all that "jabbing and stepping back"
That’s not what Murtazaliev said.
“They had the opportunity to fight me – Ortiz twice and also Ennis – but they did not fight me because they could have fought with me,” Murtazaliev said. “So if they think they’re the best in their weight division, but they’re not fighting other boxers and they don’t have belts. So who did they beat in their division? Which big names to call themselves the best? So they haven’t…
“Ennis can fight with me anytime. My door is open for him and if he wants, he can fight. In the media, they talk that they want to fight the best and when it comes to the business they try to avoid the fight, or they put the amount of the money too high that it’s not affordable for the fight. So it’s basically – it’s about the money, the money and the business. My door is open to any fighter in the division.”

Don't care what he said. Unless I see public negotiations or talks between the two camps It means absolutely nothing to me. Ennis said he would fight any of them. I don't see you posting that. Murtazaliev would have been target practice for Ennis anyway. He's not even on his level.
How was Murtazaliev not avoided by everyone. Turki said he offered the fight to everyone at 154 and everyone declined even for big money. Ortiz Madrimov Bohachuk and Ennis all declined the fight. Did he looked bad today yes but is he dangerous oh yes. Did he won this fight hell yeah.
Ennis was never offered a fight with Murtazaliev. Stop lying.
Murtazaliev is slow, basic, extremely overrated, and I would pick Ennis, Ortiz, or Fundora to beat him. I said this long before this fight too.
Three division and unified world champion. Olympic silver Medalist. If you have to ask you don't belong in any discussions about boxing because you clearly have limited to no knowledge of it.
The problem wasn't Canelo it was everyone else. At one point in time Benavidez, Munguia, Charlo, Berlanga, Scull, Mbilli, David Morrell, and Andrade were all undefeated standing around hoping that Canelo would give them a rose. And while Canelo cherry picked through them the rest just kind of bummed around and took low risk fights so they wouldn't risk their shot at a Canelo fight. What should've happened was that the rest should've fought each other to raise their own profile and reduce other's, but everyone was super sheepish about risking their chance to fight Canelo, the only one to actually try was when Benavidez knocked out Andrade.
Now we're getting good fights because the belts are freed up, that begs the question if you want good fight match ups what's the point of a unified champ?
Aa1
Typical delusional Canelo fan response. Benavidez
was Canelo's mandatory for years and Canelo ducked him blatantly. Definitely wasn't going to fight Morrell as his mandatory either.
Who the hell did the Berlanga beat to get a shot at Canelo? Yet you think all of these other fighters should have fought each other just to get a title shot. Charlo and Andrade were both world champions. Bottom line is Canelo only fought mandatory challengers when he felt it was an easy fight.
In other words Ortiz and his team still don't want the fight. It's a duck. They will continue to price themselves out with delusional thoughts about what they're worth. Not buying the BS.
After Stevenson wins there will be a bunch of excuses and none of the people predicting Shakur to lose will give him any credit at all. That's the way it goes around here.
That makes sense and is actually a fair offer because Ortiz is the bigger draw.
Boots is in a position where he needs to bet on himself and take less money now in order to be able to demand more later once he wins. Like Devin Haney against Kambosos. He should jump on those terms and agree to them and call Oscar’s bluff.
Eddie Hearn should have no problem with this as he did it to Haney.
Lying and showing your ignorance again.
Let’s be realistic here, I can’t say what’s worst Jake Paul trying to fool people with facing Gervonta “Tank” Davis a lightweight or Shields facing a good friend in Franchon “38 year old” Dezurn whom together over 9 years have 5 KO’s did I say together! Then you want to take advantage of Michigan folks to support this crap because it won’t fly anywhere else. The Flint folks will come to Detroit they will find some local cats to place on undercard due to not caring about taking advantage of people’s hard earned money for crap! Don’t get me wrong I support woman boxing and Shields but not this particular fight at all, it’s garbage!
Lets be realistic here. Comparing either of these fighters to anything involving Jake Paul is asinine.
None of them are the greatest boxers of all-time, but? Out of those three fighters, Floyd Mayweather Junior is the greatest boxer in terms of ability, and he also has the best overall resume. Floyd Mayweather Junior and Manny Pacquiao are also both greater than Terrence Crawford, who's resume is not really on their level'.
Note: In this modern era of boxing, if you want to pick three fighters to compare it would be better suited to rate 'Floyd Mayweather Junior, Manny Pacquiao and Roy Jones Junior. Not Terrence Crawford'.
Because those three fighters have a combination of great resume, and whatever weight divisions they competed at? They did not just have one fight; instead they took on all comers and became the premier champions in those divisions. Their skills and boxing ability was more proven consistently at a higher level than Terrence Crawford'.
There are really two eras of boxing, where I personally think the rules and competitive landscape was so different that? You should not really compare the fighters from those eras. Modern day fighters in reality, should not be compared to fighters who fought in boxing eras pre - 1980. The weigh in rules were different, and the number of rounds the fighters fought for championship fights could range from 15 rounds to 45 rounds maximum.
To conclude: In my opinion none of the modern day boxers active post - 1980, especially in the lower weight classes 'which is the area of boxing, that has been impacted most by the passage of time. None of those fighters, in reality are more fearsome and better fighters. Both in skill level and overall conditioning which is conducive to fighting i.e. endurance and functional strength'.
Terrence Crawford is going to struggle fighting in any boxing era pre-1980, and maintaining his current form 'because he has predominantly during his career weight drained himself, to be the big man on fight night. He would be unable to do this during the boxing eras of Sugar Ray Leonard and Henry Armstrong'.
That is why I have always stated? Only really fighters such as Floyd Mayweather Junior, Bernard Hopkins, Carl Froch and a few more modern day fighters who both trained with the use of old school methodologies but also never used weight draining tactics. Only those fighters could go back in time, and compete in any boxing era'.
Terrence Crawford is a great modern day boxer, but not an all-time greater fighter 'And Floyd Mayweather Junior, Manny Pacquiao and Roy Jones Junior are all greater modern day fighters' etc.
Do you have any evidence of this or are you just creating false narratives? Because right now it looks like nothing more than a false narrative/lie.
Draw seemed fair but if I absolutely had to choose one or the other, 114-112 Cruz.
Roach beat Tank and Tank beat Cruz, so there's that anyway.
If you think Cruz won by two points you should stop scoring fights.
Jesus christ. Do you only post when you wanna play victim? Seriously, that kind of life seems so tiring. Maybe that's why yall always uppity.
You were the victim after Crawford embarrassed Canelo. The black guy winning hurt you deeply. That's why you constantly get banned and have probably used over 100 alts :lol1:
Broke ass.
I see you're still crying because Crawford embarrassed your hero Canelo and made him look basic. Now Canelo is begging for a rematch. Payyyyy Dayyyy:lol1:
