If Dubois fought Itauma now, Dubois would almost certainly knock him out.
Even if that is true, which is a massive if, so he should at this stage of their careers.

Give it 18 months and I will confidently predict that Itauma beats Dubois.
18 months then maybe, certainly not now.
The fact you have to compare them as they stand now to compliment Dubois is telling.
Not really, it’s more a case you are getting a bit over excited about Moses. You made a statement saying that if Dubois beat Usyk, Moses would likely dethrone him. Well if Dubois did beat Usyk and there wasn’t a rematch, and his first defence was against Moses. Dubois would be a huge favourite and almost certainly win.
I meant Dubois would stay champion for a while, perhaps a year or two, defend against the likes of Parker, then get beaten by Itauma.

Btw, Itauma smashes Fury if he returns.
🤣 Stop it.
I was half trolling, but I genuinely think Itauma will have a better professional career than Fury and Joshua.

For Moses he needs rounds, Franklin, Wallin, Joyce, Hrgovic...they would be his next 4 fights for me.
Delete Joyce and I would be okay with that.

He turned down a wrestling career as well, obviously hasn't got the fire in his belly and would rather work in an office.

Better to quit now than for it to go badly wrong and potentially badly hurt because your heart is not in it.

I’m sure he would have been built up and he would have had an unbeaten record. He had a good amateur career.

Must have really fallen out of the love of the game, you don't see this happen regularly in terms of a high profile signing retiring after one jobber contes.

Would have made some easy money for at least the start of his career getting payed handsomely to beat European school janitors and South American cab drivers.
