Dave Allen already said ages ago, he wouldn’t fight Itauma because Itauma is way too good for him.
What you have to understand is Allen is different to every fighter out there.
He’s fucking chuffed because now he can look at getting a house with an en-suite! And separate rooms for his girls.
He knows his level, and doesn’t have any false belief that he’s gonna go any higher.
He goes in the ring and even he doesn’t know how it’s gonna pan out.
that's why i said feed him to moses. good for undercards, not main event statusQuote:

But “feeding Johnny to Moses” would not have sold. Moses gains nothing from it, because he was and is way above that level. Even Fisher knows it.Quote:

1. I don’t want to be cruel &
2. I hope I’m wrong.
But Fisher is never going any further than the level he is .
his popularity isn’t necessarily based on a line of improvement like most fighters. He will regularly have his few thousand followers even if he never went higher than what he is.
Not everyone is a World Champion and not everyone is in it for that.
I hope Fisher gets everything he ever wants from his career and gets out safely when the time is right.
i disagree, i think moses v johnny would have sold more than johnny v dave or more than moses' last opponent. moses would have gained more exposure. yes moses is way above that level, it hasn't stopped them making that level of fights for him though. & yes johnny knows it as well. i agree it would never happen because eddie was trying to milk johnny for as long as possible but even dave was too much for him. i agree moses needs to keep moving up not down, when i said they should have fed johnny to moses i was talking about before the first dave fight. his opposition his been shit anyway. at least it looks like they are feeding dillian whyte to moses next
