    Ajagba has talent, but this is a HUGE mismatch.
    Just from the styles make fights perspective alone.

    I think Ajagba is a high risk / low reward and Fury won't go anywhere near him (but I really hope he does)

    Would be a good fight on paper, but Fury would box his head off.

    Ajagba is a total hype job

    Useless, and people are upset about Kabayel possibly getting a shot

    Well, who exactly is hyping him?
    He gets media attention because he looks the part, but no one is going crazy about him.

    Ajagba had had 14 fights and only 50 rounds.
    The gap in experience is immense.
    One is a world champion, the other has fought a few fringe contenders.

    Would be the worst of the ones being discussed as potential opponents, in my opinion, along with Charles Martin.

    I think we'll get Rivas or Kabayel, who are somewhat better boxers and way more experienced/proven.

    I thought it had died down after his last couple of fights, but I couple of days ago I saw this, and read the comments.

    Would be a good match up since he's similar to AJ.

    :lol:
    Most of the comments are shitting on him.
    But YouTube comment section is cancer anyways.

    Naturally, he will get hype because of his highlight reel, but IMO no one of note is really hyping him. There doesn´t seem to be this excitement about him as we had with other prospects.

    Fury is supposed to be champion Ajagba is still a novice although a novice that can hit hard enough to KO Fury. No one would buy this

    Efe Agajba is a bum. He was terrible against shot journeyman Jonathan Rice.

    Fury would take him down in 5.
