    Fury is still only 30 so his legs won’t have gone. I’m not suggesting for a moment that Fury beats him, but he would propose a different challenge to all his other fights combined to date.

    and against Chisora...but Itauma is 20 years old and has had 10 fights, as good as he may be he needs to go through the levels and he needs rounds. No need to rush him.

    Billy Nelson thinks Moses is packing glass. The mere mention of Billy Nelsons name sends Frank into Bricktop mode.

    No need to rush him, the plan will be to catch a couple of names on the way out the door

    You can't be serious. Wallin is absolutely toothless, powerless, and would be petrified against Itauma. Can't believe comments like this. It's clear as day Itauma would knock Wallin into next week.

    So who would you match him with over his next 3 or 4 fights?

    I would like to see him fight Wardley in the long term. Would be a great domestic world-level fight. They both have fast hands and exciting styles.

    I think I've misinterpreted your comment. I thought you were saying Wallin is too early for Itauma. If not, I apologise. Itauma would beat the likes of Zhang, who is grossly past it and who looked absolutely atrocious against Kabayel, still somehow managing to knock him down despite breathing out his arse. Kabayel another one who is becoming ridiculously overrated and is the current Hipster's Pick alongside Parker, who Itauma would also obliterate. I'd put him in with anyone. He'd knock the likes of Fury, who is ranked one by The Ring, into next week. He'd prat Joshua. Apparently he knocked Dubois about in sparring, but I wouldn't be keen to put him in with Dubois. I'd be less keen to put him in with someone like Wardley who has power and a ferocious fighter's mentality over toothless types like Parker and weak-minded types who need babied in the corner like Hrgovic.

    It's a shame that Moses "Like" Itauma gives terrible interviews and comes across as quite obnoxious because he's an entertaining boxer who is definitely a genuine world title contender. But that doesn't really matter, anyway. It's what happens in the ring and he delivers entertainment.

    Posted very similar idea myself B. I think the route is Adeleye, Whyte, Joyce, Del, Wardley.
