    You cannot be serious about this Olu? I think your definition of great is somewhat different to most people's.

    I would tend to go along with the latter statement, continental title>>>> national title for getting into the world rankings, but you have to look at the standard of the competition. Aside from Ngoudjo, I'm not aware of anyone of note on the world scene in Africa atm, sure you'll correct me if I'm wrong.

    To be fair, I'd go along with that in Corley's case - I think he had lost 3 of his last 5 before Witter and has lost about five straight since. Harris is a different matter since his loss to Maussa he'd rebounded with wins over Johnston and Lazcano, good win. Kotelnik (close though it was) maybe a better win too. Either way, all three are in a different league to the Reids of this world.

    I am seriously starting to think Olu is an internet persona on the wind though, some of what he comes out with is just so outrageous its unreal!!!

    Harris is shot to pieces. He was floored twice by some bloke I have never heard of last night.

    I don't really think Harris was ever that good anyway.

    Though Witter destroyed him, it shouldn't really have taken seven rounds. He had a clear speed, power and skill advantage in that fight, yet spent most of it posturing.

    True but maybe in part at least due to the after effects of the pasting he took from Witter. A beating like that plus a year out of the ring may have aided his deterioration, he looked alright prior to that fight the Maussa KO aside. His chin was never the greatest anyway.

    No you are the bloody fool disrespecting African fighters just because you don't know who they are and hailing your bum chum Witter.

    Why has Witter consistently avoided Ajose. Next thing you will tell me that a professional like Ajose should fight Witter for free. Why have Team Witter consistently avoided us. The truth is they don't want it and never have.

    And Ajose brought what to the table?

    If you look at Witter's recent fights.....

    Corley - ok, in hindsight he was shot, for the vacant title.
    Morua - mexican roadsweeper - customary easy first defence.
    Harris - ditto Corley (shot) - mandatory
    Bradley - mandatory

    In all that time, what was Ajose doing, in order to bring something to the table should the fight happen?

    **** all, that's what.

    Ajose ought to be prepared to fight Witter for free - he is a former champ, slightly past his peak, and although he had a shocker in his last fight could (and is) still be considered top 5.

    Witter has always been pretty avoided - he is smart enough to know not to avoid anyone else, because he would be sat on his ass for 12 months. If there was money on the table for Witter to fight this chump, he would have taken it.

    Harris and Corley are shot and clearly not what they were in my opinion. I gave credit to Witter for beating Harris though the Corley fight was a bore. Bradley kicked his arse up and down period.

    They are both shot, but that wasn't the consensus at the time.

    I argue that Harris was never that good anyway, though others disagree.

    You can say what you want about Corley and Harris, but you look a damn fool trying to big up the African belt and fighters and downplaying these wins.

    I'll take these guys over Frontin and Spitko too. Hell, Morua is better than these chumps.

    Thanks but I am not Ajose's mother as I am not a woman. We came to Britain when we turned pro to launch our career. I am not denigrating the British and European unlike the prat who was belittling the ABU title.

    Personally I have never been impressed by Witter. That is just my personal opinion. I can understand Hatton dictating financial but Witter please give me a break the guy cannot sell flies in his hometown.
