Itauma is so much fun. Let him chin Bakole.

[diehard]

Says he doesn't want Bakole. Put him in with Hrgovic.

Itauma v Wardley...if Wardley beat Huni
Or Huni if he wins

[jamieson2]

Put him in with Hrgovic.

Hrgovic would be good, he's got a proper chin on him.

I must say that it's ridiculous that Itauma is WBO #1, all without having one meaningful fight.

[bart]

Yeah this is a common trait though in boxing- great matchmaking and highlight KO's leading to great rankings leading to being exposed at the higher level, hopefully with a decent paycheck.
Itauma could be the real deal but won't know until he fights a Hygovic level opponent so we can gauge him.
Warren needs his next golden goose after Uysk finishes the DDD train off - he has Parker but seem to rate him over those 2

[jamieson2]

Yeah this is a common trait though in boxing- leading to great rankings

I guess it's not as bad as the WBC recently ranking Pacquaio #5 at welterweight.
