    Itauma KO Hrgovic would've put a horrible beating on Verhoeven, they should make that fight

    Seriously. Just because iron chinned Hrgovic outlasted Itauma doesn't mean some boxing novice from another sport could do the same. Verhoeven would be annihilated by Itauma. If he lasted a round that wouls be an accomplishment. Doubt it'd happen

    It would be a fun fight. Closer than many would think as well, the trainers would play a huge part in this one.

    I'd lean slightly towards Rico here, because if he can figure out Usyk he can figure out Itauma. Though I would not rule out Itauma landing a peach of an uppercut either...

    Fascinating fight.

    Would Rico be able to take Moses's power early on? Im not sold he could.

    Could Moses deal with the level of pedigree hes never even seen before? Im not sold he could.

    Very interesting fight, would love to see this one.

    War Rico

    Itauma would not have an easy night if can't get him out in the first 3 rounds.

    Rico showed exceptional stamina for someone his size vs Usyk.
