I realize this is just one side of the story, and that Flores would in all probability dismantle Afolabi with ease... But the fact remains, Flores has beaten ONE top 10 opponent in Wilson, and he is pricing himself out left and right. first angainst Godfrey (though admittedly that offer was crap), and apparently now against Afolabi. Flores needs to get back into the ring soon, or things are just going to get worse IMO.
Easy tiger, this is a press release from Afolabi's team (not exactly an unbiased source). But Flores seems to have priced himself out against a winnable opponent here.
bj's not more than a solid fighter and ola's win over fields probably has more than a few cw's leery of him
I disagree, BJ is very talented. David Haye labelled him the next great Cruiserweight (after himself). But wtf is happening with BJ's career?
He probably wants a shot at a belt outright, and is waiting around for it.# Deserves it to mind, he is a good fighter coming off a good win. Still, he shoulf get in the ring ASAP.
He is 29 with a great amateur background. Plenty of time for a Cruiserweight, but I agree he needs some fights soon.
Saw Afolabi's last fight against Deleon Tinsley on ESPN FNF. Afolabi was very unimpressive, low workrate but a big puncher. Flores could beat him on pts.
