If you're calling for Itauma to get a shot at Usyk, you have no business complaining about Rico

Right, so confirmation your diagnosis is based on vibes rather than actual facts.

Of course Rico is getting pieced up. He's facing arguably one of the best heavyweight boxers in modern history. It's a horrific mismatch.

And as usual, you still haven't answered why Itauma needs a "warm up" where Rico doesn't.

 

Lmao are you for real? Itauma absolutely destroyed Whyte in his most recent bout. If anyone needs to prove they're ready for a professional bout against the current undisputed heavyweight champion it's Rico. You know, the guy not even going into this with a tune up.

If you were only making the argument that Itauma wasn't worthy of a title shot that would be fine and most would be in agreement. It's this weird thing where you're trying to make out like Rico is a better option, which is just flat out wrong.

 

Dude it was a big thing. Thousands of fans worldwide were and still are concerned about him. You can minimize this if you want...it doesn't go away.

Itauma doesn't need a warm-up, he needs to prove he's medically allright to face the champ.

 

He is in that there is no question about his health. Again, you can choose to ignore it if you want...but it doesn't go away.

 

Concern from random people aren't facts. He has his own team and doctor, and if he were medically unfit he wouldn't be fighting.

 

The entire world saw what we saw.

 

Punches damage and kill boxers way too regularly and it is just plain ignorant to pretend otherwise.

 

I don't think that matters to him. This is just some weird mental gymnastic exercise to give Rico some shred of credibility, and it's laughable.

 

A kick is harder than a punch. Physics. Rico is going to be fine. He'll lose every round, but he'll be fine.

 

That's crazy

You talk like a punch doesn't have the potential to kill

I'm sure he will be fine and hope he comes out OK but you can't say a kick is deadiler than a punch
It's just how and where such a blow lands that potentially may injure or kill

 

So if the medical team of choice passes him but that isn't good enough for you, how does he prove himself?

By going in the ring and getting punched more? Which if your concerns are true which only be counterproductive to him

This thread is weird

 

It's a very weird hill to die on

 

No because there was/is obviously something wrong with him. I don't want that guy who is openly mumbling and slurring in there with the best until he has further proven himself, and neither should your.

What is more, AS SAID IN THE OPENING STATEMENT, there are clues that go beyond medical, such as the running from the Sanchez and Gassiev fights and the postponement of the one he signed.

 

It does, but a kick has even more potential. The legs are have vastly more power, as they are designed to hold you up all day.

Rico's chin is far, car more proven than Itauama's. FACT.

 

I just read rico has actor experience and performed in several movies and tv shows !

Also usyk performed well as an actor in "the smashing machine" !
