Comments Thread For: Ajagba: I'm One, Two Years Away From Fighting Top Heavyweights

Lomachenko did it very fast.

Loma was a special prospect though - coming in at a lighter weight with multiple title holders.

All respect to Joyce for wanting to fast track but the problem for him is, there are only two title holders at heavy, and plenty of boxers ahead of him in the queue. Given Wilder and Joshua tend to fight twice a year, I think 2 years is realistic for Joyce / Efe getting in the mix.

Did yoka piss hot too?

Missed 3 tests I think rather than a failed test.

... he should fight Ivan Dychko, again... (to begin with)...

[Tecnoworld]

There are several good prospects who seem not to fight good boxers. Hrgovich, Ajagba, Yoka, Dychko, Milas, Ehwarieme...and more, have at most had one decent opponent, since they started. When will they decide to face one another to decide who's going to step up? It can't be all of them!

Ajagba is the the most promising prospect at heavyweight right now. He will have a easy time time against Wallish and stop him inside 3 rounds for sure. But he is right he just had 9 fights and needs more experience before facing tough guys.

A years maybe too soon

I've seen this before. Samson Pouha was taking it slow then got fed to the wolves. Taking too much time going to get stale with uncorrected habbits. Especially in Miami. Needs to be pushed, tested, hit! Get this guy top experience now or it'll be too late. BTW top fighters in heavyweight division isn't saying much anyway..

Ajagba is the real deal, but he's still very raw. No need to rush him too fast. It's good that PBC and the guys they work with have a lot of C-tier heavyweights they can use to develop him in the next year or two. Arreola, Washington, Molina, Stiverne, etc.
