Itauma is very good. He is ready for big fights

[Willow The Wisp]

Itauma is a lot like Wilder in the sense that a certain demographic is overrating him now. He's also very limited outside of his perceived power. Once he fights an Usyk, Hrgovic or even Fury his limitations will be exposed and his usual suspects fan base will look for another hero.

Well, Daggum; Wilder went where Joshua and his conquer Ruiz weren't good enough to go and met prime Fury three times, fighting him to a draw and effectively knocking him spark out.

Fast forward to today; and we see Fury's retired, Wilder and Joshua should be.

I have serious doubts that the Hrgovic who faced Adeleye this weekend would "expose" Moses Itauma. Serious doubts.

Here's an idea.......Toss the once unbeatable Anthony Joshua in there with Itauma!!!! See who gets exposed.

so joshua should now be retired but toss him in with this new guy moses who will expose him? that makes perfect sense

Itauma vs Parker for the vacant belt and unification with Usyk if he decides to continue fighting.

[Willow The Wisp]

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.

Sure. Certainly Doc....... But WHO can give him that test??


Wilder and Fury are gone. Zhang, Pulev and Ortiz are ancient. Dubois and Joshua are far too fragile to give Itauma much work, if we're really trying to be honest.


With that sort of performance against an older but top conditioned Whyte; number 12 in the world, Itauma has seemingly steamed beyond the likes of Jalolov, Okolie, Huni, Sanchez, Anderson, Torres, Chisora, Ajagba, Bakole, Gassiev, Hunter, Hrgovic and Yoka.

We allowed ourselves the luxury of bestowing greatness on Usyk after very few fights, and it looks much like we're in the rare position to do that again here.

It's not that the top of the division is bad; its simply that Usyk and Itauma are exceptional! Even with only 24 and 13 fights, respectively.


Usyk, Parker, Kabayel, Wardley and Itauma are the men of the moment, and Usyk will require at least two of the others in order to fully extricate himself from the su****ion of having made his name against two men in their final fights.

That's how eras end and new ones begin.

Well, its up the him, not me. Between the "Three Kings" of 10 years ago, he's the youngest. The money would be right.

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

Yep...Biblical Moses is the REAL DEAL who has it all in my opinion i.e. technique, fight IQ, athleticism, speed, power etc. The only thing that remains to be tested is his chin but fighter's who are great all round like him usually have solid chins too. Keep an eye out for Adam Azim from England who is just as good.

His heart, chin, and stamina have not been tested. His boixng IQ is largely unknown.

His boxing IQ is very good...he was unbeaten as an amateur and took Whyte apart with surgical precision with a wide array of punches knowing when to get in and out of range. As for his heart and chin, that remains to be seen but generational talents like him are usually NOT lacking in those departments.

[hugh grant]

yeah and then people will just say he made a fight with a 20 yr old who has beaten the shell of stumble bum and jumped the Q for a fight over much more deserving guys waiting for their shots

I badly want to see itauma v usyk next.
But I care for usyk, and if usyk wins, people will say itauma best noone. So ideally, Moses fights either parker, or kabayel first. I'm not sure they want to fight itauma though.
Parker will fight anyone, but at the expense of fighting usyk I'm not sure?

Hrgovic would probably take the fight with Itauma.
