    How many 'marking time' bouts is that little oaf Maloney going to force Olusegun to participate in, before he realises that his charge has turned 50, has had 100 or so 6 rounders against journeymen in small hall shows, and is no longer able to 'cut it' at international level?
    For F*** SAKE, give this guy a 'World Title' shot before the year's out.................PLEASE!!!!!:patsch

    He will most likely fight my guy Jojo Dan in a WBC title eliminator as soon as august maybe.

    Dan is just as much protected as him.If the nigerian is decent he will win.

    lol as soon as he gets a title shot he will be way past his best.
    With that being said I dont think he is anywhere near world class.
    He swings far too many wild punches and there is not much method to his madness.
    He looks like a poor mans gamboa lol

    No. He's just protected because he's rubbish. The number of times he called out Junior Witter was hilarious, given that Witter would destroy him with uppercuts.

    What do you guys think of him?

    Is he any good,I've never seen him.

    But I've seen Dan and he can't be that bad to lose to him.

    To be honest he is a good fighter but I really cannot see him getting past European level because he throws too many amateuristic punches and he can definitely be outboxed. Too amateuristic in the way he swings wildly in my opinion. He is effective but when he steps up he will get made to look like complete garbage

    He's very underrated.
    Solid puncher.
    Durable.
    Very strong.
    Dedicated.
    A handful for all but the very elite in his division.
    Deserves recognition and a decent payday after paying his dues domestically for 5 years.
    Shame Maloney's a half wit with no clout in World boxing.
    The sooner AO deserts him for a promoter who knows how to market him, the better

    You can normally tell when a fighter wont get past european level, even when he gets his world title shot. Michael Jennings prime example.

    Nigerian and fights in Britain, he's quite high on the commonwealth/british rankings, Gavin Rees, Junior Witter and Ricky Hatton ahead of him.

    Struggled with Nigel Wright twice really. Poor timing, wild punches, he's not going anywhere on the world level. Top level domestic class but not much more.

    Frank Maloney is only concerned with Darren Sutherland.
    To be honest I dont think Maloney believes that Ajose can actually compete at world level otherwise he would of pushed him ages ago.
