He looks very good but it's WAY too early to know and eclipsing Lennox who is probably an top 3 ATG will take some doing.
It's absolutely an early call and it might be my 'Chambers Moment' (I remember him driving the A-Train 25 years ago or so on these forums), but I am putting my neck on the line. Usyk has now come out and said that Itauma is his most likely successor, so that's promising.
Gotta stick your neck on the line, it is what makes forums fun

Anyone know why Moses fight with the Albanian got canceled?
My guess is that Moses vs Pulev is going to get called for the WBA Regular while the fight vs Hysa would've been for the WBO European which maybe would've gone against Itauma in the WBA rankings.
If Moses has an early night against Pulev, he will then be very difficult to match, difficult to get him learning fights, very much sink or swim time, shows FW has great confidence in him.

Will a Pulev blow out for his regular minor ordinary WBA trinket be their attempt to claim Moses broke Tyson's record?
I don't reckon FW is too interested in that, he wants the right fights
well tbf , even at his age, pulev would still be a step up for moses. certainly more than the albanian guy that kept getting thrown around with moses name

They'd have to be quick too. They have about six weeks.
Watching talk sport boxing with Moses on... Francis floated names like Otto, Hunter and Franklin (not next but very soon), which is nice cause they are 3 names I have said would be great for him. Id love for him to fight all 3 this year... butttt that wont happen haha.

Otto Wallin? Well it will be a while before Moses is ready for a genuine top tenner if they are thinking Wallin soon. How many more times do we need to see Wallin smashed before he is out of the mix.
Think too much talk about him is to much to soon , potential is there , but lets see him step up a bit more , then again he's considered young with plenty of time , then again , how old was Ali , Tyson and others , theres probably some good competetive fights out there for him , but they will be held back has well
I'd be surprised if it's Hunter. I'll admit I haven't watched him fight in a while but on his day he is/was very good. If Itauma jumps up that high without anyone giving him rounds first it could be a challenge. It's much more likely to be a Wallin or Hysa-type opponent unless they're going to chuck him in with Pulev.

Hunter ain't "Mr Whoneedshim" without good reason.
Avoid.
Miller, Franklin or Fraze would be better.
Edit. Just seen Miller v Wardley slated for June. Scrub him.

Pulev would be perfect, even without the paper trinket. A name who is limited, non threatening and will get Moses some attention when he blasts him out.
If you want him extended some rounds, I'd say Franklin fits the bill on previous performances. If Itauma blasts him out, then you have to step him up further.
