    Your right I should not be impressed by someone who is European champion and who defeated two very good fighters in their own back yard. And dispite what you say he has looked very good doing so. His loss to Witter even looks good now considering what Witter has gone on to do.

    Ajose looked great against Pryce and Nuumbembe but his opposition since has been mediocre at best. The Reid fight has been his only decent opponent and he is more of a lightweight really with a 13-18-1 ledger. I do not doubt Ajose has some serious skills and he may go onto bigger and better titles, I definetly hope so. But to dismiss Lynes like you are is ridiculous.

    The no 7 rating by the WBC is a great chance for him and I am sorry to have missed him in the Ring Mag but if he is serious about going further in his career he needs more fights like the Wright one coming up and not the guys who he has had in his last couple. He needs to make people sit up and take note of him with some more great displays.

    Who would you want to put him in with realisticly next?

    For me him vs Lynes would make sense to both now, both have something to gain.

    We have wanted to beat up Lynes for years and we have even signed up to fight him. I really don't know why Lynes pulled out of the fights though I have my strong suspicions after talking to people who have sparred with him and watched him fight. Realistically after the Wright fight we will be looking to take out the WBC number 1 contender to get the mandatory position as no champion is going to face Ajose as a voluntary. I know this because if Brendan Ingle has said why would they face Ajose unless they absolutely have to. I don't think you really understand what is at stake when you fight someone like Ajose because to quote Jim Watt "Not only do you have an excellent chance of losing you likely to get seriously hurt."

    By the way for all of Colin Lynes fans I don't hate or dislike the guy and he is an okay fighter by domestic stanadards but please don't mention him in World class/top international class.

    Holgate just after a few fights as a novice professional. In fact he took the WBF intercontinental title of the much more experienced Holgate and retired Holgate who never fought again. I bumped into Holgate's manager and former trainer with my friend the late James Oyebola, who was Ajose's boxing manager and he was waxing lyrical about Ajose. It was not just that he won it was more to do with the manner of his victory as a novice professional. Also Victor Kpadenue who is basically a Middleweight Ajose had to fight to win the ABU title. Kpadenue went the distance with the hard hitting Gary Lockett. Let me let you into another secret Kpadenue could not make 140 limit for the ABU title fight but we still decided to take the fight to win the title. The point is many a times this Light Welterweight has had to fight catchweight contests winning in style.

    I really think you should be asking who has Lynes faced that should make Ajose worry. We are not worried about Lynes at all but he is obviously worried about us otherwise he would have taken the fight instead of pulling out. Lynes is one of the most overrated fighters on these shores. Please don't tell me that he is better than Pryce and Nuubembee.

    Hopefully he will get his shot at a world title soon and a Lynes fight would make great sense for both considering one has a good wbc rating and the other a european title. Unfortunetly Ajose has had some performances that will put other fighters off but has also had performances against opposition that he should not be in the ring with at this stage of his career. He needs to put a run together against a good level of opponents and win in style hte same way witter did so that the governing bodies have no option but to give him a shot. No one will take him on as a madertory.

    Oscar I wish Lynes had your confidence as the fight would have happened long ago. Lynes does not fancy it or want it. This great fighter Lynes got stopped by Malinga and Lenny Daws and you have the audacity to claim he can beat Ajose. Boy I wish you were his manager as we would have knocked him out by now as you would have made the fight.

    Lynes will gain and get a good ass kicking that is what he will get in match with Ajose not to talk of a chance to fight for the Commonwealth title which he claimed hewanted until Ajose won the title. Why does he not take the fight since he is such a game fighter or is he not game. We would gladly come to his hometown to knock him out. In fact it would be a privilege as nothing beats giving a guy a good spanking in his hometown.

    No what Colin does best is fight scared and fight like a woman. Thats right. Put him with a real fighter and he gets what is coming to him. I have not exactly heard him request rematches with Junior Witter, Malinga and Daws for that matter. Why anyone would want to copy Lynes of all the people is beyond me.

    I am a real man unlike you who are obviously a woman. Tell me who plays the man when you and your mate Lynes get together.
