    I would favor Hrgovic. Time for Itauma to fight somebody ranked top 10.

    Or Gassiev, Miller, Bakole, Ajagba..

      If Moses can plaster him on the canvas early it's a real statement.
      Miller is another guy in the Matchroom bubble and Itauma is in the Queensbury bubble only the Saudi's could fix that issue with a Brinks truck full of pound notes.

        I would have said they were losing interest and concentrating on their damp squib baby Zuffa, but they were quick enough to big up Fury v Joshua at ringside for TF's last fight. Anyway, I think it's time Moses tested himself. So far he's only got Dillion '3 stomachs and a double chin' Whyte on his record. You could add Jermaine Franklin to that, but the thread on a boxingscene article BEFORE their fight had people saying it was the worst shape they had seen Jermaine in. So, a lot of folk were unimpressed right from the get go.

        I wouldn't mind so much, but some fans scream from the rooftops that Itauma is magic and the next dominant figure in heavyweight fighting and I am left scratching my balls and wondering "why are they saying that?". Followed by months of articles praising him.

        At least put him in with someone ¾ decent who is still hungry and has some pop in their punches. If not now, when? If we keep up at this pace, in 4 fights time, his opponent will be Francis Ngannou.

            Not interested unless it’s someone who poses an actual threat, like Kabayel or Zhang.

              Deontay couldn't even spank Chisora's backside last time out. Deserved winner, but what would Moses Itauma gain from that fight? Just more mockery for fighting another guy who is over the hill? There has to be a line drawn somewhere.
