    Would not put him in with Wilder yet at #31 Frank Sanchez at #25 or Miller #26. Smashes everyone else below #25. Probably avoid Hughie Fury too. Guido would be a good fight for him next.

    According to Boxrec Connor Ben is number 2. The site needs to fix it's algorithm.

    Think he'd make short work of Wardley too, Fabio too limited to do anything other than stand and fight.

    Looks good. Very good for his age. The next step is what will he look like against a top 50 fighter.

    He has a long way to go.

    He looks British level already, but he has to do a lot more than just knock out McKean in 1 round to prove he is world level.

    Let’s see how he does against fighters on the fringe of world level.

    Whyte, Forrest, or Franklin would be good fights to make next.

    Looks a prospect but still very young

    Still building him learning etc.

    Me I would stick him in likes Tony yoka next or David adelaya

    Then even tho despise him a jarrel miller as would take him a few rounds

    Then look likes a British name end career like chisora Joyce etc.

    He looks the goods doesn’t he.

    Nice feints, aggressive, fantastic balance and can bang.

    I know it’s part of the game and there using the Mike Tyson / youngest HW champ noise to build his name but I’d rather they didn’t.

    He’s only 19, looks a huge talent, no need to rush him at all. If the belts do get divided up, yeah maybe he does knock someone out for a vacant title but he then has to stay at the top and defend against all comers - that’s the hardest part. He needs to be have gained more experience, been taken rounds and had an acid test in order to stay at the top of the mountain once it’s reached.

    Get him in next with Chisora, Whyte or Joyce.

    Looks good so far and looking forward to watching him progress to World Title Fights.

    I agree. No need to protect these prospects, chuck them in with the seasoned journeymen now.

    Be great to see but they will want a small fortune to take such a fight

    Jermain Franklin would be a good next fight. A slippery and skilled fighter who would take Itauma some rounds. Went the distance with AJ and Whyte, and in my view should have been given the decision over Whyte.

    Then big fat baby Miller.
