Itauma is 6'2" 240lbs, he's heavier than Usyk and he definitely punches harder and has faster hands, physically he has the tools on offence.
Size isn't going to be the question with him, it's Chin and gas tank, that's what we need to know about, if he's got those as well he will spark out any of the big lumbering oafs and size won't be an issue.
If he's going to keel over after 8 competitive rounds or as soon as he's hit on the chin then he will be David price again (he was also prospect of the year)
It's toss a coin on which side he lands on, it all comes down to punch resistance and stamina and those are god given at the top end, he will either have them or he won't.
Very good post. My thoughts exactly. Right now we don't know if he will be a real deal or just a commet that burns bright for a short while and is extinguished quickly. Chin and stamina are what make Usyk the best heavyweight in a land of giants. Likewise they will determines Moses fate as well.

Well. I don't know who can top that! Nihon Jim certainly seems to have an expert understanding of that old boxing lark!
Nihon Jim - you are a sad, ignorant buffoon. Not only do you know nothing about boxing but you don't care. That is what I find so disgusting. If you loved & revered boxing but had limited knowledge I could forgive you but then I get this:

If you think that the punch resistance & stamina of Rocky Marciano, Joe Frazier or Evander Holyfield was 'god given' & you either had it or you didn't then you have completely failed to understand what made those men warriors.
