Comments Thread For: Fight, Marinate, Avoid: Who will Moses Itauma fight next?

[Coverdale]

Remember when there was crazy hype about Josh Kelly?

British hypejobs are more active than their US counterparts who prefer to do their fighting on Twitter. Thus the former get found out sooner.

The sport has had it with fraudulent British hype jobs looking for a quick route to a strap they can hold to ransom.

At the mo, thats who he is.

The evidence suggests he's the heavyweight savior we have been waiting for since that kid dynamite Cus created.

Lol...evidence, how about some facts instead ?

He flexed on some scrubs, has never been clocked or gone more than 4 rounds as a pro, and just ducked a washed Frank Sanchez.

Hahaha...evidence. Jeez you crack me up!

All the British kunts are out on this post
For a skilled fighter he sure looking for an easy way to a belt
One of them even had the balls to mention the great Pulev

Itauma - Pulev for the WBA belt late next year is a very real possibility. Pulev will presumably be upgraded to the full and only belt holder after Usyk retires. Nice payday for Pulev who's sat around doing nothing since winning the trinket from Charr almost a year ago...

I hope you're joking, man. Pulev?? He's 44 and ranked 16th. Why would he be upgraded to champ?

[SUBZER0ED]

Im gonna wait to see him fight somebody before I annoint him. He's fought nobody. I think Wardley is the best British Heavy even though he lost every round to Huni. Huni would box up Ituma too and he'd also need a KO to win. British HW scene isnt that good. He'd beat Dubois who falls apart under any adversity. Okolie would be a decent scrap. Fury and Joshua don't have much left but would give him problems. Riakapore? Ituma would crush Fisher and Frazier I'll give him that. Chisora shouldve retired 5 or 6 years ago and that's it. I get he's skilled but let's leave out Usyks name. I'd really like to see him get past a guy like Ajagba. As far as Sanchez goes, sure Moses wins cause Sanchez sucks.
The very best reasonable at his level fight for him right now is Torres.

And yet, Itauma ducked Frank.

Fact is Itauma KO 1 Whyte is more impressive than anything Tyson did before the Berbick fight in 1986 at age 20.

Twas a bloody good knockout but Whyte is shyte, Itauma aint no Iron Mike and his trainer Ben Doverson aint no Cus D'amato.

Surely there's gotta be some shot 40+ yr old euro guys he can whale and flex on for minimum risk ?

It worked for Joshua!

I was thinking the same thing. He's only 13 fights into his career so he just needs to get more experience and Ws. If it was up to me, then I would put him in there with someone like Kubrat Pulev, who has name recognition, and was a European Champion. I was also thinking Nelson Hysa who is a splendid fighter who was calling out Itauma. Both of these guys are in their 40s, present a challenge, want a final chance and good money. It's a win win for the fans, because if the upset happens then we have the storyline of an older guy making one last run for a Championship.
