Comments Thread For: WBO's four new number-one contenders include Moses Itauma at heavyweight

[Bull Pit]

Itauma is one of the most exciting heavyweights. But this is no reason to be suddenly be # 1 in any abc soup Organization. This is a kick into the Guts to the other guy’s who have worked hard to get where they are. So if Itauma is # 1 he should be forced to fight Guy’s like Zhang Hrgovic Joshua just to name a few with in the W.B.O . Let along the other abc soup Organization’s top Guy’s. Even the winner of Wardley Huni would make sense.

good to see Sammy Goodman is back where he belongs . goodman definitely deserves a Strap fight .

Itauma needs to move quickly, his speed is his top asset, he's got ridiculous fast twitch reactions, ridiculous.

But that attribute is the FIRST to go, and it starts going in your late 20s.

Itauma I don't think will be an effective fighter into his 30s, he may prove me wrong by changing his style but I think he's similar to Mike Tyson in that his best years in the sport will be before the age of 25

I agree. he is a short hw for todays standards also. When he loses his speed, he will be an easy target.
