Can Itauma beat current Joshua?

Yes, i always thought Hrgovic would beat joshua, but then again I thought he would beat Dubois.

Itauma should be good enough to take joshua out before he gasses

 

It might be tough for him to take on Joshua after such a devastating loss. But, provided he reasonably builds back, I would still make Itauma the favorite. The version of Itauma that lost to Hrgovic the other night pummels current Joshua.

 

I think a prime AJ easily stops Hrgovic. The version of Wlad he beat is better at everything except chin. I wouldn't be so sure AJ wouldn't KO Hrgovic. He's so slow and AJ is a massive puncher with good combos.

 

Itauma would decapitate this version of Joshua in under a round or 2. Might be worse than the Dubois fight

 

He doesn't. Hrgovic looks slow compared to Itauma and Joshua couldn't KO Franklin

 

That wasn't prime Joshua. And Franklin has decent defense. Hrgovic has no defense at all. He's wide open. Everything you throw lands.

 

Itauma sleeps Joshua inside 3 rounds. Probably inside 2 rounds actually.

Joshua is a big stiff, glass chin bodybuilder.

We'll never see the fight though as not a chance would Joshua take it.

 

Of course he could. Joshua's punch resistance is completely gone and Itauma is seriously explosive and quite powerful early in fights. He could time Joshua who doesn't have the best defense and turn his lights off. Joshua also has excellent power, so he could certainly put Itauma down, too.

 

Joshua is still a dynamic puncher but needs to be confident to let his hands go

At the moment his confidence is pretty low given that he got pinged by an Albanian security guard not too long ago and his chin is made from rice Krispies.

 

Joshua does not have the chin nor can he avoid eating punches now. Dubois is a little slower than Itauma and he easily found that chin. At this stage in his career Joshua gets dropped from a grazing punch.

 

lol at this point, I'm not convinced Joshua won't get knocked out by the wind of Itauma's blows.

 

Yes

 

Joshua is a fighter of artificial muscles, overrated power and with non-existent punch resistance, which is atypical for a fighter of such dimensions, Itauma puts him to sleep within 3 rounds.
