    Moses is only 20

    say he becomes champ when he's 21 or 22

    I could see him having the longest heavyweight reign ever

        I wouldn't mind seeing him in with Jarrell Miller, he'd be a good test and would tell us more about Moses. Miller is sturdy if nothing else, I can't see him getting blasted out in a couple of rounds.

          I hate overrating young upcomers, but Itauma has a lot that you can't deny and be impressed by. He's powerful, southpaw and damn fast. There are moments, his hands move look like a middleweight in the heavyweight division. Crazy fast. I'm not sure how many can deal with the combination of speed/power+southpaw. That's what made Pacquiao great.

          Itauma can easily put many heavyweights to shame with this recipe when they're slow, lumbering giants. I don't really care who he faces next or even want to rush him. Just keep going and we'll keep tuning in.

            I don’t think beating whyte like that is impressive, but agree Itauma is ready for the big boys. He’s over 6’4” but looks more like a cruiser because he’s so well proportioned and moves really well. Not only has he got power, I love how well balanced and relaxed he is - that counter left hook KO he scored moving backwards was a thing of beauty.

            Im a Usyk fan, but Itauma starts fast and would land a few before Usyk starts to adjust. The question is does he adjust fast enough to stay in the fight.

              Yeah this is ok, but it would be like hitting punch bag. jarrel don't throw much back.But
              Thing is Moses might beat everyone now. But he's give himself even better chance getting some rounds under belt first. Flip hrgovic or Zhang is better than jarrel. Jermain Franklin is good.

              Why does non stop boxing site keep going down?

                If not Usyk, Itauma should fight Parker, Kabayel, Hrgovic or Wardley. He is only wasting rime if he keeps on fighting Whyte type ex contenders. Zhang, Wallin, Miller or Ruiz can't test him at this point.

                Bring on contenders.
                - - Joke da Bugger eh?

                The shyte of Whyte has been obvious for years.

                  Itauma didn't let Whyte get into the fight. In his post fight interview in the ring he had said that he was trained to see what Whyte dose in the ring and pounced on it. It shows that he is just not a young fighter that comes out aimlessly swinging. He showed more patient and tactical movement than his previous fights.

                    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.
                    Indeed. It is already the biggest fight in division. Just make it.

                    We have an old elite fighter and a young elite talent. there is no need to wait.

                    Itauma doesn`t need to fight Zhang or Hrgovic next.
