    With how many belts there are now I believe Miller deserves a fight for a title. Before he turns 40.

    A comeback fight should be someone with a name they know Ituama will beat. To restore confidence. Not a fight he has a serious chance of losing. If Ituama loses again it could easily spiral into the end of his career. Whyte to Hrgovic was too big a leap and they need to backpedal. Significantly.

    Well, I'm not saying he should fight Miller for the title. Miller doesn't have a title (yet :)). But if he does want to fight for a title again, he should fight Miller. This era is also a lot tougher than the 3 Kings era (Fury, Wilder, and AJ). Itauma needs that experience and cannot pay to rush.

    I have said this before, but yes, you guys are correct: it's not a good comeback fight. But I do think this fight is needed, whether it's three fights away or one fight away.

    I think I'm so eager to put Itauma in with a challenge because the Hrgovic fight proved his level. And because I used to be a big Itauma skeptic, the fight basically had the opposite effect on me than it did on everyone else. Itauma is a talent.

    What is really sad is the fat body Miller has a better gas tank than 21 years old Itauma.
