    Can Moses become a future Champ?

    For sure a future world champion at the very least

    There are four belts. Barring an Ibeabuchi-level self-combustion/meltdown, it's hard to see this 20-year-old eventually not collecting at least one of them.

    He will definitely be A champion, but will he be THE champion? Probably.

    He could be significantly less talented than he is and still almost certainly get hold of a belt at some point.

    He has a huge head relative to his torso. It will be easy to hit. When he faces a real fighter, unlike the bums they have fed him so far, he might find himself in big trouble.

    Probably but let's see his chin and stamina tested.

    Well Usyk's gonna retire so there's not a dominant elite Ukrainian holding the belts like Wlad and Usyk have,

    So it'll be easier to win one of them

    I bet Povetkin, Pulev, Jennings, and all these guys wish they were coming up in their prime now instead of being in the Klitschko era.

    Mirror this.

    With Usyk retiring fairly soon plus AJ and Fury, the talent pool bar Itauma is fairly dry, so surely Itauma should at least pick up a title but then again its very possible he may have no chin or stamina like David Price.

    Put him in there with Big Bang Zhang. We won't know anything until his Chin is tested. He must prove it.
