Theophane... Rate him or Hate him?

Rate him......

I love cocky ****s!

Will be due to step up after he sparks Williams out.

 

Have to admire how dedicated he is.

Good European level fighter.

 

Rate him............

 

hes a decent fighter gonna stick my neck on the line and fancy ste williams to beat him on the 19th

 

Good fighter. Would love to see him in with Danny Garcia or Ajose Olusegun.

 

I resent him for robbing Delvin Rodriguez.:bart

 

Any guy without big backing that packs his bags and heads to U.S to get good sparring and training deserves credit. He's decent, I think he's got a lot to work on and needs to be fully focused cos he came very close to losing to Murphy but he's a good champion.

 

:deal

Theophane deserves a rematch with Garcia, was very close.

 

Big Delvin fan myself, but you can't blame that on 'Hood Star' :verysad

 

Skills wise he's one of the best fighters at domestic level. Shame about the power.

 

bit of an arrogant nobhead, a while ago he put out a statement saying he he wants scott harrison and alex arthur as they are good names for his resume

 

Former WBO world champion, Scott Harrison, has recently been given back his boxing licence from the British Boxing Board of Control. Now, he would be a fighter that I would be interested in fighting soon, as he would look good on my record with a ‘W’ next to his name.
His fellow countryman, Alex Arthur, has also shown an interest in losing to me. So I could be facing one of Scotland’s recent international champions this year.
Juan Urango is fighting three weeks before I knock out Steve Williams in Liverpool. A fight between the two of us would be appealing to me (and many fight fans), as I’m always looking to fight the best in the world.
True world class fighters would have no problems with leaving the safety of Sheffield, Glasgow or Cardiff to fight the world’s best.
I’m more than happy to travel to fight world ranked fighters, former world champions, or should a current world champion want to give me the opportunity to fight for a world title. Just bring it on; I’m fit and ready with my passport and waiting.
I’ve had to become realistic about the situation. I’m too good for my own good at the moment. I believe I’m going to have to work my way up to mandatory status, as I’m a difficult assignment for anyone. I am already seen as high risk, and relatively low reward.
Most British fighters get voluntary cracks at the world title because, just like our top footballers, it is well known that we will always give our all, but at the elite level, we lack that necessary technical ability. Therefore, we tend to see most world champions take over and dominate after the midway point.
We are definitely great TV, if not always great box office, as we always ‘lay it all on the line’, and tend to leave the ring ‘on our shields’.
Carl Froch, Amir Khan and David Haye are the current crop of British fighters who have shown they are capable of winning fights against world class opposition on foreign soil. So it is a real pleasure and honour to have that in common with them.
Now that I’m ranked 11th both by the WBC and IBF, 10th in the IBO rankings, I’m knocking on a world title challenge.
It has been a long hard road, but hard work makes the dream work.
Now back to that promise; Steve will give his all and it will make for an exciting fight, while it lasts. He won’t be the only knock out on May 19th in Liverpool.
Frank Maloney has put together a top quality bill at the Aintree Racecourse; David Price faces Sam Sexton for the British and Commonwealth heavyweight title, and there will be four English title fights on the undercard.

cant say i hate him though, because thats a strong word, id say i give him respect for going to the states and grinding it out, but since he won the british title he is going on abit imo.

 

WBC have ordered purse bids for Danny Garcia and Ajose Olusegun to figh.t. Ready to get it on.

Ashley Theophane is the most improved British fighter. He is now a world class fighter. Hundreds of rounds sparring with quality operators like Ajose OLusegun have brought him on. I remember when he lost to Judex Memea years ago but he is a significantly different animal now.

I expect him to fight for the world title within the next 12-18 months but I don't think he and Ajose Olusegun will ever fight as they are very good friends who are supportive of each other for years.
