    WBO is drunk, or the British are paying good. Good fighter but undeserved rank

    Very good chance Itauma becomes world champ, he is very good.

    WBO always ranks Warren's fighters when needed

    He needs rounds hasn’t been past the third, he looks good but he hasn’t been properly tagged yet

    The thing is, if Itauma wins WBO interim belt in the next 7 months, will he claim he is the youngest HW champion of all time?

    Itauma might be thrown into the fire too early, he's great but it might be too early for him...

    Itauma would absolutely destroy Joey Ten Parker/Paint Dry Parker.

    I’m sold, he’s quick explosive and a lefty, nightmare for anyone. My only issue is his size compared to the likes of fury, aj and usyk. He’s only 6’2.

    can definitely see him beating most o f the top 20 right now and wouldn’t be surprised if he does win a world title in the next 3 years

    Obviously a silly ranking and Warren has always had close ties with the WBO. Itauma will no doubt get a ton of hype if he keeps winning that's just a given with Brit heavyweights.

    This is totally unfounded.

    Yes, he appears to be talented, and if he turns out to be as good as his hype, he'll be a champ.


    But his best win is a 44 year old Wach, ranked well outside the top 100... Yes, that's a good win for a prospect - but it's a massive jump to go from beating a zombified corpse of a guy who was only ever a gatekeeper, to beating top-20 type boxers.

    He's way, way too unproven to be putting that on him.

    Ranking Itauma top 10 is an absolute joke.

    6'2 ? He looked huge against Wach, like 6'5
