Gauging the opinion here if they were to fight. I put my hands up and I thought Whyte was too experienced for Itauma. It is indeed an excellent win for Itauma.
Itauma is way too destructive for this version of Fury. He'd land big left hands early just like Usyk did, but with twice as much power. KO inside 3.
I saw a thread of Itauma V AJ and it was like 20 to 3 for Itauma so was curious to know the feeling on here against Fury.
As much as i've got behind Fury nearly his whole career he would be stopped by Itauma, who would be the heavy favourite against this old, inactive Fury who hasn't looked good or been active for years. Itauma is just better, anyway.
Not so sure. Fury has avoided younger fighters in their prime his whole career. He did fight one, and that was Otto Wallin, and we saw how that turned out. I think I have to go Itauma KO on this one, especially after what 0-0 Ngannou did.
Fury has beaten all the punchers he's faced. AJ hasn't. Plus Fury looked good last time out, AJ looked like ass.
Obviously I have to say Fury is a lot more experienced and is a big step up from Whyte but I worry that Itauma's style could be a horrible one for Fury. But I'll say if it does go long and Fury manages to avoid the early onslaught I think Fury has it in the bag.
It is a good point about punchers but Itauma is obviously so fast mainly, powerful and is a southpaw that Fury struggles with. It would really depend if Fury would survive Itauma for the first few rounds IMO.
We will never know because Fury is nowhere and would never face him anyway. Fury lost his legs at lest seven years ago given that his legs never looked the same even at the beginning of his comeback. Disaster against Itauma. Fury has been down to Pajkic, Cunningham, Wilder, and Ngannou. He'd be down against Itauma. He's old, legless, inactive, and void of confidence. Not a chance he'd beat Itauma.
would be a very interesting fight. the (much) younger man would probably be a deserved favourite, but it's likely that Fury would be able to tie him up, take him into far deeper waters than he's ever experienced before, who known what'd happen after that.
Depends on what condition Fury would show up in. Make no mistake, a subpar old Fury could absolutely lose this fight. A sharp, in shape Fury likely still has too much I would imagine, I mean he just ran Usyk close two times. But if he comes in less then his best than I could 100% see Itauma winning.
Fury told us all he can’t be beaten by a man born from his mother, most of us believed it, some of us didn’t. Fury’s reign as Queen of the bums is finished. Fury will part the Irish sea, before he beats Moses The time of the big bums is over, the time of the new breed of heavyweight is now
