Usyk vs Itauma is the superfight

[Bennyleonard99]

An eliminator is not a final eliminator.

Winning an eliminator is enough to get the shot but the ugly truth is Haymon and Finkel did not want Wilder to fight Whyte, too risky, so they tried everything imaginable to block Whyte and Sulaiman did the dirty work.

Itauma's punches are so fast so blinding even us fans can barely see them, Imagine trying to avoid getting hit by them. This guy Itauma can rewrite the history books, nothing is beyond his reach if he keeps his head on straight and doesn't succumb to the golden *****cats and other exploiters.

Itauma and Torrez, arguably two sides of the future coin, are currently both 13-0 with 11 KO's apiece. Interesting. No doubt these two will/should collide at some point.

I think Torrez gets smoked. The red flags were there against Vianello. I wouldn't mind seeing Torrez against Big Baby Anderson.

As for Itauma, he blew out a very shopworn Whyte but that doesn't say a whole lot to me (other than Whyte needs to change them up). Itauma against Wardley or Kabayel would be interesting. Wardley isn't much of a boxer but he has heart and has power. Kabayel is tricky and rugged and has a rather nice body attack.

I've been mentioning this matchup on other threads. I think it makes most sense and you can clean out your closest quickly once you find out whose wasting your time and doesn't belong. I think Torrez is also a tad vulnerable and the speed of Itauma is crazy. I'm not sure Torrez could cope with it, but I'd love to see it as long as it lasted. I don't think it lasts long. If it makes it past the 1st rd, someone is out in rd2 and it's probably not Itauma, lol.

As much as I like Richard as a person, Itauma seems to have MORE as a boxer. I don't think it would be pretty for Kiki.

I also don't see it happening until Itauma is pushing 25 and Torrez is pushing 30. Shame, but likely true.

Itauma might beat anyone now already. But he will give himself an even better chance of he gets rounds under belt.

how is itaumas chin though? its obvious he has something that usyks opponents havent had in a while which is one punch ko power and very fast hands for a heavweight as well as the youth advantage, usyk has the clear edge in experience and skills no matter how old he gets, but i cant envision usyk keeping itauma off him just on age difference alone

Certainly plausible prediction. The longer Usyk stays silent about his new top challenger, the weaker he appears. Usyk must address the threat of Itauma asap.

a very good swarmer would be a handful for either of them

fortunately for both neither are swarmers

Moses having to box on the back foot and fight inside

I don’t think Usyk can infight

but he does have the edge in jab and defense
