    Perhaps there is a reason the so calle world class guys have avoided him may be more to the point.

    Olu who has ducked him out of the top 140lb guys?? i'm asking out of genuine interest.

    Personally i don't think he is world class i think he's dangerous and has ''some'' world class attributes but his skillset isn't on par with most of top guys at 140. Against the more elite guys he would be beaten IMO. He would give them a tough nights work though. He's in such a steep division right now it's hard to see him beating a champion at this time.

    Has he ever thought about venturing to the U.S and having some bouts over there. Seeing as his ranking in WBC is high he could at least get some tv time on Showtime or HBO BAD and maybe force a fight with one of the champions.

    It remains to be seen how far Ajose can go, as he aint been given an opportunity yet, but he has beaten some good british guys no problem, remember that. Numbembe good fighter, Pryce at the time was a good fighter, Lynes good fighter, all fell by the way side lads. There has been a fair few british guys reportedly backed out of a fight with Olusgen, so he must be dangerous or they would just burst him right??! Give the lad a chance before you kill him off. SKY were disgraceful not giving the lad a bit air time, they obviously thought Colin was gonna win.

    The problem has always been Olu and always will be.

    The man comes on here slagging off British fighters for no reason and saying that Floyd vs Ajose is a "50/50 fight" and he is being serious.

    I couldn't give a **** about Ajose to be honest. The man has never done anything to me and none of us have to "put up" with any of his fans because he has none. It's Olu that puts people off him and the first time he loses, even though he is a completly irelivant fighter, it will be celebrated by a lot of people on here.

    I cant believe we are still having a conversation about a dude who is obviously not World Class. How long do we have to wait to see the so called 'super performance'. I have been around boxing far too long to take someone like Olusegun seriously.

    I know what your saying, but what you need to remember is that Ajose is his man, his nugget, so Olu aint gonna say a bad word about him, is he? He just sees this as fighting his corner, simple as that. Personally I aint got a problem with the guy, always speaks his mind, so is sound in my book. Its like someone coming on here and slagging off your brother or sister, saying they are shite, you would come on and defend them wouldnt you??

    What I have a problem with is, IF Olu was indeed the man in the ring with the flat cap on he is a ****ing hypocrite for clapping the man he likes to call 'Celia Lynes' on Saturday night.

    After running his mouth on here for a long time about Lynes and implying all sorts of things, if it was him, it is one of the biggest shows of hypicrosy I have ever seen.

    Obviously if it wasn't Olu, all of the above is rendered nonsense.

    It's safe to say that Ajose's performance was very mediocre, even though he did look to settle down towards the end. Lynes' capitulation was odd, but his post-fight interview was even weirder. What was that all about? He looked fine till he started getting tagged to the body.

    I like Ajose and would like to see him tested.

    It must be a nightmare trying to get him fights. Why would anybody volunteer to face him?

    High risk, low reward.

    To be be fair I never called him Celia it was Cynthia but after Saturday perhaps I should rename him Sheila. Only kidding lads fair credit to him as he finally stepped up to the plate and took the fight therefore he has earned my respect.

    Junior Witter did, Lynes did until Saturday, Ted Bami. Viewed as very high risk and low reward.

    I don't slag off British fighters. I have the utmost respect for all fighters including British fighters. For example I had not seenn George Groves until Saturday and was mightily impressed. He is the best young British technical fighter I have seen since Super Darren Barker. I love David Haye and am fond of Carl Froch . Hardly someone who dislikes British fighters. Also rate McCloskey highly.

    Just man up and admit that you got it wrong that Lynes lost. Is it my imagination but later listening to the Sky commentary they were biased hoping Lynes would win.
