    And in my opinion this is a discusting approach for a guy being compared to the new Mike Tyson.

    Except Richard Torrez and Daniel Dubious (both live bodies which conviniently no Moses Itauma fans cheer to get matched against) all of the top 10 guys are over 31.

    I call it here, Itauma will get matched with Zhang, who is like 45. Ripe for picking, guy cant last 2 rounds anymore. When Itauma beats him, in 2 years just to be sure, people will go frenzy like it is a big deal. Then next oponent - Joshua (36) or even Wilder (40), one was in accident and is shot, demoralised and old and one is a granpa who cant beat nobody in top 10 even in his prime. Ripe for picking.

    Entire division is old, Kabayel, Gassiev and Hrgovic are up there both 34, Ajagba and Bakole 33 - even though it is old terriortry, still nobody push for that fights.

    But there is one more - Usyk- 39 - ripe for picking (he is outlier, but still, compared to his first Joshua fight, he has fallen off in power and stamina, it is the law of nature)

    when Itauma eventually gets a shot, at lets say Joshua - everybody will still act like it is 2018, that is a big problem in boxing

    The current generation was always going to be on it's last legs during Itaumas rise. This is how eras work, it's always been like this. 4 years from now Itauma will only be 25

    If the entire division is old,as you said it is,then he aint waiting for them to get old.

    You beat yourself.

    As much as I'm wary towards unproven prospects, you do realise a new generation will always come along in literally anything?

    If they are old he cant be waiting for them to get old if they already are.

    Can you comprehend?

    Itauma is no Mike Tyson, who beat three bona fide heavyweight contenders before his 21st birthday.

    But I wouldn't say he's a fraud, he's fast and has good technique and one-punch power.
    He's a good heavyweight, and he'll likely be in some interesting fights in the years to come.

    Next time out, I'd like to see him in with someone with a good chin (Miller, Hrgovic, etc.).

    A fraud??? He's just 21yo and had 14 fights FFS. Usyk has already said he won't fight Itauma since he's too young. Chill the eff out already... So called "fans" like you just suck....
