Itauma isn’t even close to Mike Tyson’s level

[JakeTheBoxer]

Put him in with somebody that will actually come to win.

Tyson - great fighter but most of his reputation comes from doing it all so young.

No, Moses isn't a close comparison age for age, but might well be when it comes to the full career which is a far more important measure of a fighter.

Still lots to find out about Moses. I actually thought this 'step up' against Franklin gave us more questions than answers, despite being a pretty impressive performance. The hands are seriously fast, the power is real, and he had the IQ to break down a fighter who doesn't give you anything for free, but I don't see great movement or defence. And his chin is completely untested, while his stamina actually looks suspect.

Right now, I think Usyk would completely expose him and it wouldn't even be close.

He isn't ready for Usyk,but I think he will comprehensively beat the likes of Hrgovic and Zhang.I don't see any need to rush him14 fights is nothing a few more bouts against maybe Bakole,Sanchez etc, are needed imo.

People compare Itauma to Tyson, but his looks remind me of young George Foreman.

Made me laugh when I saw the moron Frank Warren saying Itauma is better than Tyson. Do people realize that Mike Tyson at 21 had already conquered his era as the undisputed and lineal heavyweight champion of the world with 35 fights under his belt and KO wins over Holmes and Spinks.

Itauma on the other hand is 21 but has had 14 fights and is being matched like a baby by Frank.

Stop protecting this kid already. i get the feeling this fat boy is hiding china in his chin.

Fisheyes frank still bitter that Mike tyson made him strip naked and beat tf out of him all them years ago.

If and when Itamua steps up in class of opponents and wins, only then can he be compared with a young 21 year old Mike Tyson.

Frank's words are laughable.

I think Itamua has a bit of a suspect chin. Chins are teasted when they are hit by hard shots, which Itauma has not been hit with yet.

But he is a fast handed puncher for sure. Let the snake oil salesman sell his goods to the UK public. They are proven buyers.
