    Warren would be stupid to rush him at this stage

    Bakole for me. Huge puncher, fairly fast hands , decent skills.

    Cant see Bakole taking the fight though unless he's offered mega bucks.

    Torrez has been very clear that he would be up for it and indicated he would travel
    It was the interview with Itauma who indicated that fight could wait for a while

    Hype does some crazy things
    People forget he is in the early stages of his career

    Problem is if he did beat Bakole he wouldn't get any credit for it because Bakole doesn't train and turns up to fights in **** shape.

    Itauma would take him out in the first round.

    He needs to face someone as big as himself who has power. He also needs to fight much more often. He should take at least four fights this year.

    He’s ranked number 1 with organisations and being put forward for a mandatory world title shot. His own promoter is saying a world title fight this year. Are you expecting him to keep fighting shot fighters and journeymen because he’s just 14-0?

    Problem is, opponents want a big pay day to fight him regardless of their own status

    It's not the 80s no more where this was as easy to navigate

    I'd like to see him flatten Torrez.

    I should have put Torrez in the polls.

    Not particulary proven as he still a prospect but at least he does come to fight and his style clash with Itauma could be interesting.

    he may fight for a belt or secondary trinket but we know he’s not going after Usyk

    where did I say shot fighters and journeyman? Hmmm?

    never.
