If itauma beats a top ten fighter, and then turki offer usyk a itaum a fight and usyk don't take it, then you might have a ducking case. But until then nothing to see here

its a funny setup, parker is the guy who deserves his shot but a lot of people dont rate parker & would say usyk is ducking moses who doesnt deserve any shot as hes barely on the scene and just beat a totally shot whyte then u have the people who want kaybayal whos making waves now but has been around a long while so if u are usyk u are damned it u do or damned if you dont, i think the parker fight makes most sense as hes the most deserving guy but turki is not interested in it lol, bit of a mess, maybe himself & bud should just retire on top and leave the rest to duke it out, they will both lose if they carry on too longComment

Hard to duck a guy who isn't a possible opponent.
Who has said Itauma wants Usyk next?
Usyk has mandatories.
You can't duck someone if the fight isn't there.Comment

Oh that ships already sunk, like a loooong time ago.
The HMS Juggernaut that battered Parker was a formidable vessel at the height of his powers and being avoided by everyone!
Except The Mighty Oilskin Parker who gave us one of the hardest hitting, balls to the wall fights to eventually go out on his shield we've seen in a hot minute.
Itauma can only dream of becoming Prime Juggernaut or Oilskin Parker.

It was 3 years ago. Hardly long in boxing.
Also lost to Chisora just before too.
Struggled with Jack Massey.
We won't talk all the times he's been on his backside too.
Lets face it, if he were British, you would be calling him a fraud and overhyped bum too.
You ONLY like him for his nationality. Nothing more.Comment

Heavyweight is not a deep pool right now. TBRB rankings:
C. Usyk
1. Parker
2. Kabayel
3. Dubois
4. Zhang
5. Hrgovic
6. Chisora
7. Ajagba
8. Wardley
9. Itauma
10. Bakole
Parker is #1 and has wins over #4, #6 twice, and #10 and he's fighting #8 next. #3 also pulled out of a fight against him at the last second. He also holds wins over Wilder, Ruiz, Takam, Hughie Fury. He is a former WBO heavyweight titlist and a current interim titlist. He is the most deserving contender to Usyk's crown right now.
How about Itauma fights someone in the top 10 before we start crowning him this or that? If he's too scared to fight Frank Sanchez for a mandatory shot he's definitely too scared to fight Parker.Comment

3 years is a long time in boxing!
Look what's happened to the last few Brit frauds in that time, Joshua , Fury, Whyte and Dubois.
Even Chisora has become a bumbling oaf most fighters would love to put into a wheelchair.
And now drooling fangirls be wanting to match the new kid on the block and latest U.K hypejob against Usyk, the best in the biz.
You're entertaining, if nothing else!
Meanwhile, irrespective of Parkers nationality, he is the most worthy, battle tested, best conditioned, highly trained, disciplined fighter in the division with a run of recent wins to prove it.
Itauma would do well to keep hiding behind Uncle Fisheyes blouse, quacking away and avoiding any real threats like Sanchez, Parker or Kabayel until Usyk retires and he can get a belt emailed to him...maybe.

It's definitely a strange response from Usyk.
He's says he's gonna fight 3 more years, but clearly won't fight Itauma.
Everyone knows, Ituama is one of the biggest threats.
Either Usyk's English is bad or he's avoiding him.Comment

I don't disagree. Itauma shouldn't be mentioned in the same breath as Usyk.
He should be looking at 3-5 or so more fights really.
But, I do know styles make fights, and that Joseph Parker is heavily overrated. Itauma wipes the floor with him right now.
Would Itauma beat others in that list? Not sure. But Parker, easy work.
Time will prove me right. Parker is a true average Joe.Comment
