Itauma would finish Gassiev in 1-2 rounds

Oh sure, if we're comparing current Pulev to Whyte or Wach then he's no worse (and maybe slightly bettter), but in and of itself it's not a remarkable win, especially as Gassiev struggled (Itauma, meanwhile, blasted through his fossil opponents). I'd be fine with seeing Gassiev vs Itauma - it's a stepping stone, but not a significant one.

 

It's a very significant one. Gassiev will almost be sure of a title shot soon with a win

 

It is telling that they talk Usyk, turn down Sanchez, and fight Franklin Jr.

Like I said, I am not convinced that Warren wants Gassiev.

 

We won't really know about Itauma till he fights someone prime

 

I'd be concerned about the speed difference if I was in Gassiev's team

But I'd be concerned about Gassievs power if I was in Itauma's team.

We don't have a clue what Itauma's chin is like. But it's like a 90% chance if Gassiev lands that left hook .. Itauma is going to sleep.

Gassiev is one of the hardest punchers in the division.

 

Yeah, he called Pulev a dinosaur...but he wanted the dinosaur. Copy that. Makes perfect sense.

 

Packing glass, and has a bad gas tank too. That last bum he fought had him huffing and puffing between rounds.

 

Pulev was 12 years older than Gassiev. Itauma would be 12 years younger, with the speed advantage, the size advantage, and the agility advantage.

Gassiev got dominated by Otto Wallin, just no. He does nothing better than Itauma. Literally nothing

 

We actually have no idea if that is true because we have no data on Itauma's chin and stamina.

 

Yes, as you said, he's 38.

 

Wallin got destroyed by an aging Chisora, is an aging Chisora levels above an aging Whyte ? Or is Wallin just a fraud

Answer is likely to be the latter. Chisora is like a bigger version of Bert Cooper and his record reflects that

 

You didn't read or respond to what was said. none of this has anything to do with Ituama's chin and stamina.

 

It does have to do with Gassievs limitations, which is Itauma would be favored
