Usyk has beaten the best heavies of his generation, he should fight the best young gun out there and retire. Some say Itauma hasn’t done enough, i say different , I think he can be very good. He passes the eye test so far to be fair to him. Usyk should fight him before he’s too old, if he doesn’t fight him there’s not so much point in carrying on the show. Thoughts?
Not so much a matter of deserve, but his blowout of albeit a shot whyte was quite impressive. I just think it’d be nice for Usyk to rubber stamp his career with a fight with him. He says he won’t fight him, honestly I think if you asked Usyk he would say Itauma is most dangerous for him.
Maybe, I’m not sure, I think it would be interesting. At least more interesting than a run off the mill defence against Parker which it definitely would be IMO
I wouldn't hate the fight. I think Wardley is more deserving but at the same time dont view him as a threat either. Itauma getting the shot over him wouldn't upset me
If he beats Itauma no one will give him any credit in the history books unless Itauma has a stellar career after
Sure. Now that he’s only just started making $100 million per fight, he should retire instead of getting in the ring. Brilliant idea.
This assumes that Itauma goes onto become a world class boxer, and becomes a great win for Usyk, ala Canelo and Floyd. But what if Itauma goes completely bust? Waste of a fight, right now. There are many, much better fights for Usyk to take.
I think if he stays healthy he will go on to good things, and winnable fight for Usyk at the moment. What other fights would be better for his legacy?
Any of the actually established contenders? Wardley, Kabayel, Zhang, Hrgovic. FFS, how many full rounds in total has Itauma even boxed? Maybe 20? The kid is only 21 years old and has seen the 3rd round on two occasions, both being fights where he went the full scheduled 6 rounds. Its an utterly pointless fight this very moment, especially when the one asking for it - that being you - thinks that its a winnable fight for Usyk.
I respect your opinion, is it such a bad fight though? I don’t think it matters Itaumas age, he seems the real deal, I think it’s more interesting than the other fights that could be made
I wouldn't mind it if Itauma beats someone in the top 10. I see the intrigue, but at the moment its a waste of time.
