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.
