    .......v either bellew or cleverly. Surely they both avoid him, or at least their management do!

    He beats both imo. He is a quality fighter and if I was him I wod be gunning for a fight against the winner in the UK so to try and get some sort of profile over here.

    He has got all the tools, just a little lazy at times.

    Watching him this morning...he reminded me very much of Lennox Lewis for some reason

    I'd like to see him in with Bellew or Clev

    Both of them are no match for Ola. Afolabi is a true top level CW who can hang in there with the best, while Clev and Belly have to carefully pick their opponents.

    Afolabi would destroy Clev, I think him v bellew would be a 50/50 fight just now, but in q couple of fights time I would fancy Bellew

    Afolabi has certainly been avoided hence having to travel to fight Germany,USA partly because he just doesn't have a large fanbase here.Dangerous fighter for sure.

    Pretty much summed it up - no way will we see Clev or Bellew jumping in the ring with him. Too high risk/low reward.

    Afolabi would beat both... Clev/Bellew is good for the MW division though, brings it some much needed attention.
