    If Itauma wants some action in a few months, he should fight Hrgovic

    Usyk seems to take some rest. Hrgovic is a warrior, he doesn`t duck anybody, he has fought Zhang, Dubois, Joyce. And he is never in a bad fight.

    Hrgovic will give Itauma a hell of a fight.

    I don`t believe kabayel would gamble with his unbeaten record fighting somebody like Itauma.

    After claiming don't be surprised if Whyte wins a few days back. Why have you then started 3 threads about Itauma in the last day. We get it you are now a Itauma fan after he proved you wrong, post your views in the one thread

      I think its a step up and someone like a Hrgovic is what we should be talking about.

      For all Hrgovic's faults he has a granite chin on him and he might well be durable enough to get through the early Itauma onslaught and I think he'd certainly despite not being a very big puncher would land often on Itauma so we could at least see how he reacts to getting hit and possibly a stamina check.

      Put him in with someone who offers something whether its durability or a potential threat like Zhang or somebody that can maybe match him in certain areas like a Frank Sanchez. Basically just anyone but 40yr old, glass jawed fighters with no legs who are falling over their own front foot. It proves nothing at all apart from he has a good team of clever matchmakers around him.

        I agree with Hrg as next up. Moses just beat Whyte easily. Another step up is warranted.

          Zhang seems to be done, he had a gas for 3 rounds in his last fight.

          Hrgovic, Ajagba, Franklin, Sanchez could be the right fights.

            Hrgovic is too slow and static. I wanna see somebody put Itauma on the back foot.

              While Usyk takes some break, Itauma should fight Hrgovic, Parker or Kabayel.

              That should be no issue if he is the real threat.

                It's a good fight but won't Hrgovic need some time for that cut to heal?

                  I don't want to burst anyone's bubble, but let's also remember Whyte has been KO'd 4 times in all 4 of his losses. Not to mention he was around 37 years old. It was the perfect setup to get a named opponent on his resume, however maybe they should take some time before putting him in with a real lively opponent. Especially one with a chin.

                    Yeh, flip v itauma is good, I think itauma wins. Flip don't duck usually but I'm not sure whether itauma has been on flips radar?
                    Franklin would give it a uma some rounds too I'm sure
