Comments Thread For: Oleksandr Usyk won?t be fighting Moses Itauma anytime soon

[Bennyleonard99]

Kept apart? WHAT? Why keep the two best hwts apart? Usyk reluctance to face Itauma proves that Itauma is the real deal and then some. Perhaps Moses Itauma is the goat. How be slaughtered Whyte at age 20 with EASE was more impressive than anything Mike Tyson did before the Berbick fight. I can now easily foresee Itauma doing to Usyk was Tyson did to Berbick ... if Duck Usyk can be forced into the ring with Itauma.

has moses proved himself as a viable opponent yet? some would argue the ghost of stumble bum who basically hasnt fought anyone himself in years with all sorts of issues is only the start of whats needed, maybe moses needs to beat someone decent who is going well to make his case?

Moses hasnt earned it yet.

Lets face it, its not good risk/reward for Usyk either. It comes across like promoters trying to use his name in the twilight of his career to build up a young new star. It isnt really worth it for him.

He will have to make some sort of decision after Parker - Wardley. The WBO will presumably force the issue (although I'm not sure what happens if Wardley wins).

He's obligated to fight Parker in my opinion. Primarily because he's the genuine #1 TBRB contender. Also because he got his shot at AJ through the WBO rules.

Totally fair, and I think (so long as Parker wins) that is the fight most of us are in favor of.

Itauma has earned the right to KO Usyk. His destruction of Whyte is better than anything Mike Tyson did pre Berbick.

Itauma hasnt earned the right to wipe Usyk's arse nor lick the sweat from Iron Mikes balls. For fücks sake,the kid just wet the bed over facing Frank Sanchez.

A couple more years on Uncle Fisheyes tïtty getting wetnursed on a diet of washed up farts like Whyte, at least until Usyk retires should see him right.

Itauma is getting too hyped by some fans. Let him develop instead of fighting a technician like Usyk that can derail him mentally. He show the goods but we still have to see how he does when he can't KO his opponent. Experienced fighters will try to take him into the deep and drown him...

Frank Sanchez has zero value and leverage, he's an undercard filler.

Usyk just got derailed mentally after seeing Whyte get slaughtered. To blacklist Itauma, his most dangerous threat is most certainly a duck move.

...as opposed to the who's who of high value headliners Itauma has faced ?
