Any boxer that will give Moses rounds to bank in his career will be good right now. The comparison to another young boxer will be a good reminder to everyone not to rush Itauma as he needs time to develop.

He looks like a very hot prospect, but that’s all he is at the moment. He has had 13 fights … Mike Tyson’s 13 th fight was Conroy Nelson (15-7-2), Cassius Clay’s 13th fight was George Logan (24-7-1), George Foreman’s 13th fight was Gary Wiler (4-4).

Those guys are legends of the ring, but does anybody think they were ready to get in the ring against Oleksander Usyk in their next fight?

Usyk”s 13th fight was against Marco Huck!

Itauma needs rounds under his belt, he needs a few tough moments, he needs to get cracked on the chin and he needs to develop into a more complete fighter.

Realistically he needs to be looking at durable ‘gatekeepers’ next, like Ajagba, Bakole or even a name like Ruiz next.

Actually wouldn't have been a bad one. Definitely think Itauma wins but in Guido you got many of the perimeter matters that you want to see a promising prospect deal with very early. The massive height, he's sturdy range the sheer awkwardness and ability to make it ugly and gritty at the same time. He showed that with Torrez and honestly I don't think Torrez showed much adjustment or gears with Guido.

The thing is now all of these 'learning' rungs on the ladder are out of the window as he's been propelled straight to #1 and #2. It reminds me of a Berto or Wilder scenario....nooooo he's not on that lower level in skill...but it'll all be learning on the job among some of the best now. People can anoint him guaranteed gold off of a collection of 1-2 rounders sure, but it's still putting the cart before the horse similarly. If that makes sense.

Richard Torrez Jr or Stephen Shaw or Ajagba if not Wardley...

kind of reminds me of shu shu in a way, how he was getting rank highly & talked about as the naoya destroyer before running into sulaiman segawa & some speed wobbles appeared

Moses is at that stage where promoters want to test him and get him some much needed experience of rounds. However most of the better opponents are ranked and that will cost them financially to challenge them. He should stay active and take on durable spoilers who will not mind the exposure and pay day.

Stop abusing Bakole's name. He is not all of that.
