Just curious, are y'all starting to get that SOMETHING is wrong with the Moses Itauma narrative?

    I see. My mistake. He certainly throws his left quite naturally. Unusual for a converted southpaw

    I still think Itauma is top ten material. Not everyone can pull off the Homer Simpson strategy like Hrgovic did.

    Hopefully he recovers, changes his team and eases back in. World champ by 25 while he gains some experience in the meantime.

    I think he'll be back, but top-ten material with some work is a much more realistic assessment of him than Ring Magazine, the rating organizations, the British public, Dan Rafael, Gareth Davies and the rest of them were selling.

    The top ten is pretty damn weak right now. There are a few I'd favour Itauma to KO who don't have chins anywhere near as good as Hrgovics.

    But yeah, the British did what they do best and blow way too much smoke into their fighters rears. As for this forum, watch them all write Itauma off. Boxing is a fickle sport for sure.
