    Usyk. Whyte appeared shot to pieces.

    Usyk. Itauma is the future, but he hasn't fought anyone who can avoid a punch.

    Usyk by stoppage.

    Itauma vs Whyte went exactly as I predicted. Whyte wasn't a test for Itauma

    Usyk will retire before that fight and so he should.

    Whyte is shot, no legs so can't judge off it.

    Usyk would win if they fought this year but he wouldn't take this fight

    The risk/reward ratio from fighting Itauma wouldn't make sense for him

    Give me a break. Hrgovic would beat this hype job

    you don't have a scooby doo if you think Hrgovic would beat him.

    Usyk is too smart for a green Itauma at this stage of his career. But if I was Usyk it's the fight i'd be looking to make, as Itauma is obviously going to be champ and maybe for a while, so beating the young lion would be a good thing for his resume in the final accounting

    Nah, would be fun to watch but he's not ready.

    I rather would like to see Itauma against Wardley and DDD. If he beats them and Usyk is still in the game, he can try it

    Hrgovic is not winning that fight. Itauma would murder Adeleye
