    His chin and endurance have not been fully tested yet so we can't say those are weaknesses yet. They might even be strengths.

    But has he actually shown any weakness? even a minor one that a high class opponent can take advantage of?

    Aye, especially when he's not beaten anyone too special yet... Plenty of hype early on too - if he doesn't go all the way then those first losses could really hurt.

    He's from Chatham so he's not a proper roadman like Dillian

    Good point. The jury's still out on Itauma's mandible. He could be packing some china in that chin!

    He’s been avoiding Usyk for a while now.

    He's chubby. If he gains more weight he'll look like the Pillsbury Dough boy or possibly Tyson Fury.

    On the flip side watch out if his chin is made of rock lol.

    does he have Samoan genes? Would kind of match up. The deal with those genes is high bf in exchange for insane practical strength. **** for looking good at the beach, great for getting things done.

    as to his weaknesses, his choice in management. He should be much, much more active than he is. When he’s still at the fight tomato can stage like he is now, he could be running through one of them a month or two. It’s the only way to get him rounds.

    Hard to show much weaknesses against journeymen.

    Itauma's ring IQ, jab, stamina, defence, durability, chin, heart and will has not been tested yet - a lot of attributes.

    As you test yourself against better opposition your flaws will creep in and show.

    He does not have Samoan genes. African and Slovakian I believe.
