  • The reason Usyk should fight Itauma next

    It is rare to have 2 elite level talent guys in division. Even more, in hw division.

    Parker, Kabayel, even Hrgovic, al these guys are good fighters, but top elite fighter should take the biggest challenge. I believe fighting a young hungry lion is the biggest challenge.

    The way I see it, Itauma has elite vibes.

    I don`t want Itauma to fight Zhang level guys for the next 3 years and beat them all inside 4 rounds just waiting usyk to retire.

    And later they will say: oh, Itauma dominates because usyk retired.

    Make the fight while an old lion is there there.

    u may get your wish as i think turki also wants that fight, actually people were not long ago saying turki is a clown and a casual for the fights he wants but he has over looked parker for this new guy

      Maybe a few more fights man. Moses hasn't been past 6 rounds. It's a really tough task to put him in against Usyk, who has shown to turn up pace as rounds progress. A 12 round fight vs Usyk is probably too much of an ask right now. Fighting more rounds is essential experience needed to fight someone like Usyk, who has an elite tank

        Actually Mr. Jake, I picture them saying "Usyk did zero beyond beating two finished fighters in their last couple of fights; then he ran like the wind the moment Moses Itauma arrived".

        And with only the wear and tear of 24 fights on him; I'm afraid I might say it too.

        Usyk, Itauma, Kabayel, Parker and Wardley need to sort it out to start the new era.

          The power is there the speed is there but the punches are not thrown on the move but in static position, also too much of his game revolves around the left hand. If Usyk gets passed the first 3 rounds, which is likely, it is going to be a Dubois like fight all over again.

            usyk has been fighting championship level fights for a decade now and gone to his opponents backyard in almost all of them

            these types of fights are what causes the wear and tear not so much over matched guys beaten easily which we see a lot of

              Big change of tune now you can't stop posting about how great Itauma is and should fight Usyk. A few days ago you were making threada about don't be surprised if (washed) Whyte wins Itauma and Itauma shouldn't fight Usyk

                Wach, McKean, Balogun and Whyte's corpse. That's who he has beaten.

                Need to pump the breaks on the Itauma hype. Fans tend to get carried away when someone displays dazzling offensive ability. It's these guys that blow out journeyman and shopworn has-beens. Let's see what happens when he faces a slick boxer or someone throwing bombs back at him.

                People were telling us that Hrgovic was the future of boxing after he stopped Mansour, Molina and Booker. Let's see Itauma in against someone actually trying to win before we induct him into Canastota.

                  24 fights total, nearly all Cruiserweights. Fantastic work, yes; but 24 is light.

                    I don't think usyk would lose more than a round or two.

                    ​​Wide ud or stoppage if he doesn't react well to being hit like that dimwit Dubois, id still watch but honestly can't say I would be that excited.

                    The kid isn't ready.
