    Itauma is untested in his career for durability and stamina, but Norton has been tested against some big punchers. Knowing how Norton performed in those fights, I'd have to favor the big, fast, southpaw with the big punch who only has a few fights. I wouldn't want to bet on Itauma yet against Usyk, WK, VK, LL, Fury, Holmes, etc. Most of them have/had mixed results against big punchers, but Norton's result when he fought a big puncher was always the same.

    There are plenty of boxers in the HOF that I do not regard as great fighters.
    As far as I am concerned it's a popularity contest,and eventually everyone will be in it!

    God Damn… yeah, rough to say a guy who beat Ali gets stomped by a prospect but it’s VERY possible this is over FAST.

    Of course it's too early to say Itauma.
    Lots of fighters at heavyweight have gone 13-0 against the kind of opposition he's beating. Most of them probably got derailed permanently and quickly forgotten by the same people who are hyping Itauma up now.
    I hope Itauma does better than that , and he has the advantage of great backing and has come along at the right time so things are looking good for the kid.
