Comments Thread For: Oleksandr Usyk next for Moses Itauma? All in due time
It has been minutes ? scant hours ? since heavyweight darling Moses Itauma wiped out former title contender Dillian Whyte in less than a round...

OK, Itauma has a certified fan in me. The class- and playfulness- that he handled all those questions and the credit he gave his trainer shows a man with his priorities 100% in the right place. I am still in the camp for Usyk to fight a deserving Joseph Parker, than a farewell fight close to home with a low risk opponent and than retire with a possible undefeated record, gold medal, 2 division undisputed champion, and a history of beating these other fighters in their own countries in front of their own fans. BUT... since Usyk has never seemed to be the type to do things the easy way...
Could I see Parker than Itauma, health be forgotten? Yeah... I could.
Either way, Itiauma is an easy to like monster. Like I said... certified fan.

demeanor of Sonny Liston with explosive combos like Joe Louis
Itauma got me thinking of Gerry Cooney 3 fight arc that really thrust him to fame - blowing out Jimmy Young, Ron Lyle, Kenny Norton in succession. All 3 were a few years past prime a la Whyte. Of course all 3 were far better than Whyte in their primes. Want to see 2 more somewhat formidable wins for the young man
This win flatters itauma more than it should do. Thing is itauma knew white can be hurt if pressured, we've all seen it before, so in a sense white couldn't fool itauma
Hrgovic seems the move. Rugged and will put Moses under some pressure and throws volume. He will take some punchea although you can imagine Moses lighting him up.
Usyk is never fighting him and Moses understands that Parker and Kabayel are more deserving. Classy comment in the ring I felt.
But a lot of these names thrown around as opponents it's easy to imagine that they are just too slow and are gonna get clipped and chinned.
Moses vs any version of Martin Bakole is like a boxing snuff film. Joe Joyce..would be a crime to make. Chisora would be similar.
