    I need a medal for saying Ajagba is a bum when everyone was hyping him

    Since I've been on here - I'm yet to have any wrong predictions about heavyweights. Well, it comes with territory and knowing yer onions.

    When everyone else was screaming Ajagba as the next big thing - I watched the guy and confidently said he's a bum who won't go far. I got attacked by all kinds of posters for it but it's funny how everyone is saying the same thing now within a year.

    It's not rocket science - you just need to be able to study boxers and analyse their talent/skill-level. Most boxers, retired boxers and analysts also don't do that and they mostly go by the hype as well. But once you start doing that - you'd see a lot of boxers for what they're.

    Ajagba was always too slow, too stiff, too mechanical, his power is average - with no footwork and head movement - to do anything spectacular. You can offset a lot of deficiencies with speed and power. However, you can't teach both and since Ajagba lacks both...that was basically why I wrote him off completely.

    Sounds like AJ but he’s done ok for himself.

      And yet some people compared Ajagba with AJ, lol.

      Ajagba must fight Vinello or somebody like that next.

      I thought Ajagba was Wilder level guy. But Wilder stopped all low level opponents.

        Honestly all we need now is for Ajagba to fight a brezeale level guy and get hit on the chin and collapse.

        We all know its coming.

          When was AJ's power average?

          Joshua has his own set of issues but he's a far more effective offensive fighter than Ajagba

            Ajagba is more of Fury and Wilder than AJ.

            Can't throw combos like Fury - just 1-2.

            And unskilled with no footwork and dependent on power like Wilder.

            At least Fury is skilled with decent footwork/head-movement and a tad fast for his size.

            And for all Wilder's flaws, he's fast although Wilder is also a bum.

            Ajagba on the other is a complete bum. LMAO.

              AJ would smash this bum to pieces.

                Ajagba is Arum`s inhouse Ortiz. I can see him as a contender for Fury in the future, he will make a million, get destroyed and that will the end for him.

                  He isn't the next big thing but a good potential. It depends on how he learns and adapts as he grows. Certainly, he needs to learn a bit of movement and combinations. Not sure he can increase speed.

                  He was hyped because he looks fit and strong in an era where many HWs look out of shape or average at best. AJ was robotic and paid for that in the Ruiz fight but he learnt something new in the rematch. Depends on how much he learns and adapts skill-wise for he has the body frame to back up his potential.

                    OP was hyping Whyte who was just recently smoked. Not sure why he’s pretending to have some great prediction history. He’s often wrong about everything heavyweight related, including history.
