    Fair, was catching up and didn’t know you observed that pre fight. Yeah he at least tried. I thought Franklin showed decent handspeed he was just up against someone levels above. Doesn’t help coming in like a fat pudding either.

    No idea how you match Itauma from here. No one of note will want to fight him. Was disappointed in Usyk’s excuse for not wanting to fight him.

    Think he beats Parker, Dubois and Wardley. Weirdly enough, even though he's past his peak, stylisticly I'd like to see him face AJ.

    Yeah it's going to be so hard to match him though he should at least bring a payday.

    Ideally he needs someone who's going to take him into deep waters but no idea who that person is.

    He'd never do it without a belt on the line but would like to see him fight Fury.

    Some finish

    Looks to have it all but needs a title fight or a more evenly matched fight with someone who has a bit of pop

    Would be good if both Anthony Joshua and Tyson Fury would grow a pair and both fight Moses this year to aid his development before he steps up to World Level next year.

    Warren keeps mentioning Adeleye but I think Hunter would be a decent step up for him.

    Something is telling me that Joshua would actually fight him. Joshua doesn’t duck anyone.

    Joshua would test his chin and Fury would test how he deals with elusive opponents.

    I think this version of Joshua would just get cleaned out Dubois style personally.

    Fury though has the elusiveness, IQ, and recovery powers to potentially take him into new territory, though his defence is much poorer these days.

    Fight Miller next. Tough, probably get a few rounds and the fat gobby drug cheat would make for an entertaining build up that could attract the casuals.

    What fast hands and variation of shot selection.

    Fantastic performance and a highlight reel KO Ituama a special fighter.

    Everyone loves a brave corner.

    Franklin left an impression on the canvas not in a Picasso way, the poor guy faceplanted.

    Lets take a breath. He still needs to fight someone with a decent offense. Hrgovic would have been a good test, another guy with a great chin but more offensively minded than Franklin. Three fights ago Parker would have been a test but I think he tees off on big Joe now. Del will keep on throwing but is made for a fighter like Ituama. Moses beats Chisora and this version of Wilder in the same night. Its a headache. How does he get from this level to the elite level? I think Kabayel would be the ultimate litmus test. Lets get it on...

    The kids got the tools. He will tire late imo and he carries the left low at times but outside of that he looks the business.

    Usyk too soon for him. Usyk will tire him out etc and i think furys still got enough to beat him but outside of that should be ready for anyone after a few more building fights
