    Itauma was the most talented young prospect and Dubois is far inferior to Usyk and Fury yet he beat Hrgovic and Is 2x champ. This next era will be pretty weak after Dubois and Kabayel retires, there will be no one special

    isn't hrgovic special???
    he's been screwed around by promoters on his way up,he;s been calling out names since early on in his career..
    when he signed up for queensberry, one of the conditions was that he fights itauma, with queensberry's intentions that he be brought in as an opponent and punching bag for the annointed one..
    going to itauma's turf where he was the B side and knowing that it was a hostile environment..
    look at frank warrens reaction during the fight..
    that was all done with single mindedness and determination, and still, after the fight he's not getting enough credit..
    to do what he did, hats off to him!!!
    and still, during the build up and after the fight, he didn't whine, moan or *****..
    to walk into the lions den and a hostile environment, only someone who has been in that situation can explain what it's like, as well as having about 98% of boxing people saying you're going to get splattered and knocked out..
    hrgovic isn't a flash in the pan or a one hit wonder..
    he's had a lot going against him during his career and leading up to the itauma fight..
    what he did was very special..
    if it wasn't, the boxing world would'nt have gone into meltdown

    Moses Itauma is still only 21, has only 15 fights and never went past 6 (well, not anymore). He's got plenty more development to undergo.

    DD probably wont be retiring for at least another 7 years.

    This era just started.

    We cant tell anything about the next era from what we are seeing today.
