    Itauma is top 10 clearly, I believe he is top 3.

    Give us Usyk fighting a young future star. Nobody wants to see Usyk fighting no hopers.
    Parker then Moses

    problem with Usyk is he's a one fight a year guy lol

      I'd like to see Usyk/Parker, Hrgovic/Kabayel & Itauma/Wardley (good domestic bust up) next. Winner of Hrgovic/Kabayel faces Usyk next followed by Itauma which will give him a couple more fights to mature.

          Hold on He must prove he can box with a top 10 guy for 6+ rounds. He must prove his boxing heart. He must prove his chin. No way is this young man ready. First he must pass these tests.

            Put him in with flip, zhang, ruiz.
            . He needs 10 rounds under belt to face kabayel, parker, fury, josh, and then maybe usyk farewell Ukraine fight.
            So itauma is 3 fights away from usyk

              You have a point but what happens if he gives a very good account of himself and makes it very competitive? If Itauma has good Stamina it will be a very intriguing fight.His footwork is not as good as Usyk but he is faster than Usyk. Having said that Whyte has this uncanny ability of making anyone he fights look World class

                Hrgovic has a chin. He has no pop, but he is accurate and can box.

                Put Moses in with Filip and let's see what's what. Whyte was not a proper barometer.

                  Biblical Moses is the best prospect you called so far

                  another mixed race Slav

                  blended Slavs have outperformed given their limited numbers: Bivol Tszyu ggg

                  Moses is first time we are seeing the BBC Slav mix

                    No-one is going to live with his hand speed.

                    So it will come down to whether someone can do something offensively with him. Usyk with his movement and feints could but I don't think anyone else does.

                    No point holding him back now. Find the biggest fight available. The challenge is getting enough money to the right opponent.

                      the swarmer style has success against pure boxes and boxer-punchers

                      problem is there's none besides Chisora who's worn now and was a contender at his best
