How would you go about it. I think he is going to get pushed to fast and get caught out. I hope he doesn't skip the levels. I would go the traditional route of British, commonwealth and european belts. Get a few recognised names and when usyk has gone pick up a vacant belt. Am I being to safe?
He's certainly not being pushed too fast at the moment. Seeing somebody actually throw a meaningful punch at him would be breaking new ground. Time to rein in the promotional stuff a bit until he actually has a fight because it feels like it's starting to annoy people now.
David Adeleye (British title) Jermaine Franklin or Guido Vianello (good chins, hopefully get some rounds) Mourad Aliev or Labinot Xhoxhaj (European title) Filip Hrgovic or Martin Bakole or Efe Ajagba (in a final eliminator) Then he's ready for a world title shot against anyone not named Usyk.
Moses should spend the next 12 months cleaning out any 3 of the old current British Level Fighters who are not officially retired but at the career end being Whyte, Joyce, Bakole, Joshua, Dave Allen and Chisora. Then it is time to step up to pre world level and fight two out of Zhang, Hrgovic or Joey 12. Two years from now he will be ready to challenge DDD or Kabayel for the belts.
Fights the likes of Franklin, Joyce, Miller etc over the next 12-18 months until Usyk retires then fight for one of the vacant belts.
For Moses he needs rounds, Franklin, Wallin, Joyce, Hrgovic...they would be his next 4 fights for me.
What is the harm in picking these belts up. He could be adeleye and defend against joyce and Wardley. Then fight for the European belt. He is only 20. What is the rush. He could win it at 23 and hold it for 10 years. If he is as good as I'm being told.
A good technical boxer could beat Moses and there are plenty of those operating around Euro level. He has not beaten anyone of note yet, no idea if his power is legit against a proven operator and has done the same thing every fight so far. I'm sure plenty of seasoned pro's are looking at him and rubbing there hands together but of course he has and will be matched very carefully. As another poster noted he needs rounds against good pro's, experience different situations, see what's in his gas tank and what he's carrying around the whiskers. There are still too many unanswered questions.
Moses wants to fight someone that can take him a few rounds and who can take a punch and who is durable. Enter Hughie Fury. Not every fighter is going to stand in front of Moses and let them hit him.
Patience. Patience. Patience. That's the key word right now for Queensberry. Build him up to a 20-0 record and then they can match him up against Wallin or something similar who can give him some rounds. I know there are very close ties between Frank Warren and the WBO but it's absolutely crazy that Itauma is ranked No. 1 by WBO. What the f... is going on...?
No, he`s far faster and more powerful than European level, heavyweights tend to have poor fundamentals, he`s a southpaw and his speed is very unusual.
