    He's not two inches taller than Whyte. I haven't met Itauma but I have Whyte and Whyte is not taller than 6'2''. Demsey McKean who is 6'6'' towered over Itauma and that would not happen if he was 6'4.5" You've been fooled by posture and angles

    Who cares what his height is, Usyk has proved again that size isn't everything.

    But Whyte is listed on Boxrec as 6'4" which he clearly isn't as he was about an inch shorter than Parker when they faced off who is also listed at 6'4". He's likely about 6'3" or just above.

    Based on the Parker/Whyte comparison with Itauma, Itauma is as tall if not a little bit taller than Parker who is listed 6'4". He's big enough for this era of heavyweights, not small but not one of the true big men either but given his speed and power it really doesn't matter what size he is, he has the speed of a quick cruiser with the power of a 250lbs monster.

    I would say in maybe Haye as a Brit but he was a lot older than Itauma before we saw it and he was a CW who moved up.
    I really think Itauma can become the next undisputed if he stays grounded and actually makes the fights with other champions when Usyk retires rather than going the usual brit route of getting a belt then holding it hostage fighting sub standard opposition on PPV while claiming X Y and Z are ducking him.

    LOL at all this hype beating a shot Dillion Whyte. I remember people craping on Whyte before his fight with Fury calling him a bum and that he had no business in the ring with Fury at the time.

    I was really hoping Whyte wasn't shot to bits, so he could put Ituma on the back foot but as soon as he came in low in lbs the writing was on the wall. A tale as old as time. Fighter doesn't have it anymore, will get in the best shape they can to make up for it and then get nailed. Numerous fighters from Chris Byrd to RJJ have tried it. It rarely works.

    I'd stick Ituma in with Hrgovic next. Hrgovic can blow hot and cold but he's got a decent chin, reach and some power and isn't shot to bits.

    I believe it...but I also believe his other leg, his torso, his arms and his head were bad going in. :sisi1

    I'll have you know I was crapping on Whyte prior the Joshua fight, before it was cool man.
