Can Agbeko make a run at being the 2nd best Ghanaian of all time?

Winning the tourney can really start him on that path to greatness. I wish him the best. It's going to be a war against Mares!!!

 

Well, he wont surpass Azumah Nelson and I cant see him doing better than Quartey so, no.

 

Why won't he do better than either? Do you see some major flaws in him? or you just think he won't beat Mares?

 

Agbeko will be slightly above or on a Clottey type of level when it's all said and done. He's not as good as Ike. Btw Ghana doesn't really produce enough fighters for how popular the sport is in some parts of that country. There's a little place called Bochum, which is all boxing.

 

There isnt really any MAJOR flaws, I'm a fan of his, but I do see Mares beating him. Quartey beat Verno Phillips when well past his best, Vince Phillips, arguably beat De La Hoya and Oba Carr amongst others. Agbeko's good and I think will probably end up being between 3-5 best Ghanaian ever.

 

There's already a not horrible argument that he's a top 5 Ghanian ever. He's definitely behind Nelson, Quartey and David Kotey, but who else would obviously belong in front of him? Clottey? Konadu? Alottey? Alfred Kotey? They're all around the same vicinity as Agbeko anyway, IMO.

 

Ok, gottcha. I was impressed with the way Agbeko beat Perez in the rematch. If he can beat Mares, he might be on the way to greatness. we shall see.

 

Agbeko looked brilliant against Perez. I think he'll beat Mares if he can box like that.

 

Not gonna surpass Azumah, nor Ike Quartey most probably. He is above Clottey though and he's probably top 5.

Could be top 3.

He will handle Mares fairly easily, of this I have no doubt.

I think he is underrated on here in almost every department, he can bang, box, has tidy footwork and a good D. All round good fighter.

 

Konadu is ahead of him at the moment IMO..but there is enough talent around Agbeko at the moment that if he can beat them all, he would very likely slip ahead.

 

He's far behind Nelson and Quartey. He's behind Konadu too, but maybe he can pass him up by cleaning out BW - which would be tough.

 

Ike wasn't managed properly, as a result he was left disillussioned and lost interest early. He should've got the Trinidad and Whitaker fights and i thought he beat Oscar. You're right though his place is not rock solid.
