    Ok. Outside of guys in the top 10, I am going to go with Itauma, Jalolov, Torrez, Pero and am unsure of the fifth.

    Among guys already in the top 10, Kabayel and Dubois.

    I doubt it. Kabayel may though.
    Frozen out and poor promotion.

    I hate it when promoters ruin boxers with inactivity.

    I don't know a lot about him but from what i have seen, he looks a little bit like Povetkin. Good power, stocky, attacking type with solid defense. Can we please get him to Saudi to fight some of the top guys?

    He bashed up Wilmer Vasquez last weekend and beat up Michael Hunter about a month or so back. He did draw with Kevin Johnson last year.

    He’s physically strong and hits hard enough, but can be outboxed and is limited.

    Yeah i think he will struggle with tall outboxers. I can see him doing well vs guys 2-3 inches taller than him. But the 6'6 guys with good jabs will make it hard for him.

    Yeah he's kind of like Povetkin in terms of his stocky build, power, and being Russian of course. I think it would be a good idea for him if he did a bit of work work with Povetkin so he could learn some of his tricks and combos.

    How long do people think Itauma will go before stepping up to someone who isn't going to be content to take a loss. Someone like Hemi Ahio for example, with some experience and decent recent wins but marginally outside top 50?

    I think they will bring him along very slowly. I expect it will be another 2 years before he fights someone like Ahio. They don't want a repeat of the David Price incident.

    Not sure if he can take punches from larger HWs. Maybe will do well at Bridger or Cruiser if he can drop down to it.
