Just curious, are y'all starting to get that SOMETHING is wrong with the Moses Itauma narrative?

    Are you that deficient of neurons that you can't comprehend someone being a fan of multiple fighters ? Picking Torrez isn't even me being a fan, styles make fights. Why are you so shortsighted ?

    Should just bump your shitty threads for fun, why not. Your not trolling about any of this, those posts were giving people stage 3 brain cancer

    Off the top of my head I think Torrez is the 2nd youngest top HW and hes got like 5 or 6 years on Itauma. Not a huge Torrez guy not sure who I'd pick to win that one.

    Please re-read the opening statement, because this is exactly what happened on the last thread. It's not that he ducked one fighter. It is that there is a PATTERN of behavior.

    These are all fair questions to ask at this point. I like how he looks doing what he's done thus far, but it ain't shocking. Not sure that Itauma vs Torrez wouldn't be worth watching at some point in the next 5 years or so. Torrez' last fight? I've missed it thus far. How did he look?

    I posted in the British forum that Moses is authentic. What you see in interviews is what you get off camera. No interest in celebrity, or the PR machine which is kind of refreshing after the AJ and Fury era.

    That said, just over 6 minutes boxing in 2025 is terrible for a young prospect and he needs to be out 4 times this year, each time at a Progressively higher level. I’ll put my neck on the line that he is the real deal and will come good and some.

    Second Tyson Fury maybe. Your descriptions match Fury pretty well. Completely manufactured

    Torrez? Fast, powerful, and aggressive, but EASY to hit.

    I think he's a good prospect who's being managed cautiously, allowing him to develop gradually, and the depth of his opponents will likely only increase. I wouldn't be surprised if, after Franklin, he emerges ahead of Gassiev. I have this opinion, but I can't know if the hypothesis written in the first post are true, in part or even entirely. As I always say in these cases, we'll just have to wait.

    Tyson had 19 fights in his first year as a pro. People questioned his Chin all the way up to the Tucker fight because he rarely got hit.
    Moses likely is a Glass Jawed Hype Job. We’ve all seen this movie before.

    Yeah, mate, I'd say so, unbelievably slow, not addressing questions, getting names mixed up. Very worrying, and the fact they've deleted it makes it even more suspicious.

    Yes, if he was stoned/drunk (or both) out of his mind his behavior/the way he talked would make sense, if not he might have a serious problem.
