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

    But your opening statement says he needs to prove himself by beating Franklin etc
    How will taking another match where punishment is possible make him prove himself?

    And nobody actually knows of anything is wrong with him
    It's all based on assumptions and opinions taken from a video

    Itauma has done a bunch of media since turning pro and what I've seen that one video is the only one where she spoke like this
    Dont get me wrong, he is hardly captain charisma but that leads me to believe he was stoned
    Again that's an opinion, I wouldn't know for sure
    Just like the rest of us

    You keep saying there is something definitely wrong with him but no matter what you say, you like me and everyone else has no concrete proof

    It's a non argument. The entire world saw what we saw.
    No such thing was said.

    This may be the single most bizarre attempt to justify the choice of a fighter I’ve ever seen. 8 Pages in and It still doesn’t make an ounce of sense.

    Quit the trolling. It's just boring and childish.

    What exactly did you see?

    There is definitely an argument to be made on your claim

    Again why are you saying your concerned about his health but you say he has to prove himself by taking another boxing match where he will get punched and add to his supposed CTE issues?

    And if the doctor has ruled he is ok to fight that should be sufficient, but you're taking the "but my eyes know better" stance.

    You don't know more than a medical professional, and you don't know what's going on behind the scenes.

    And ask Wiz pointed out, if you were truly concerned for Itaumas wellbeing then why is your solution for him to "prove it" in the ring?

    No...the world saw what it saw. Doctors can be bought and often are, and a doctor might not be able to detect the problem.

    He needs to prove himself further before he should be in there with the champ.

    Look up the videos yourself. The internet was abuzz with concern.

    I get it. A few of you just really want to be able to say, "it was nothing, now he should fight Usyk," but it was something.

    Uh, if you don' t know a kick is harder than a punch, you are the one trolling.

    I saw it, I mentioned that in my earlier posts

    I thought he appeared stoned but like you I can only speculate
    Im open to the possibility of being totally wrong

    I don't think he deserves to fight Uysk so count me out of that group that think he does

    I'm still curious though why you think fighting again will prove himself when you seem to think he is ill

    If a Doctor can't detect the problem then me and you certainly can't

    How can he prove himself?

    You won't accept punches can do damage. So clearly it is you that is trolling.

    I think it is pretty obvious that you see if he can handle a few more Franklins before you throw him in there with the champ. That would go at any time, but especially when there are concerns expressed worldwide about his health.

    I really don't know how to say it. It should be self-evident, and it shocks me that there are people on here who think they are scoring points by telling me that I am not a doctor or whatever.
