Comments Thread For: Moses Itauma bumped up to No. 1 heavyweight by WBA

[Coverdale]

TBRB have at him at #10, which seems about right given his actual achievements as opposed to his potential.

How on Earth was Michael Hunter number 1? Feel like I haven't seen him in about 5 years. Nash out - His Majesty

He beat Cassius Chaney last year for the WBA Gold belt.

Well I think he likely beats most of the top 10 in each divisions rankings right now, but he only has Whyte as a real name. I like him as a top 5 contender, but I sure would prefer him to get another win or two before he is a #1. He will just end the legend of Pulev. But if the WBA is silly enough to take Pulev for real, I would not fault Itauma for taking the full contact sparring match it is.

As Southpaw already said, he should have had to beat at least 2-3 of those top ten before being given a no 1 ranking.

As you say, he only has Whyte, who wasn't top ten when they fought , as a "name" and a top five ranking off the back of that is ridiculous imo.

Usyk is taking some rest. Parker will obviously fight wardley. How about Itauma fighting Kabayel or Hrgovic?

MoSuss will be crushing cans til Usyk retires so he can get his strap emailed without ever having to fight a legit contender.

Moses Itauma should stay busy and learn. By this time next year, I'll bet he smashes Usyk inside the distance, and takes the title, because Usyk isn't the kind to run away from a challenge.

Then, people will say about Usyk's 25th fight and coming off the best win of his career; "Usyk was too old".

You just can't please some folks.

He should fight Usyk asap. Dont be a Pansy like the Emiliano Vargas.

These guys are ready now
