How do you think Ola Afolabi would do at heavyweight?

[Cotto16]

Av heard he more than holded his own in sparring with tyson fury, and heard he has done alot of sparring with big larry, so how would he do against todays heavyweight fighters?

[hurlock]

well i remember enzo supressing him pretty dam well. infact with ease.

he aint strong enough

[rollernads]

Not strong enough but will be similar to Toney as he will read the heavyweights better and see their shots coming easierso can slip and ride their punches and come back with counters just a shame he has that sparing mentality touching gloves and a lil defensive as he is a cracking underated fighter!

james toney is a legend a 3 weight should be 4 weight world champion. you cant use him as a yard stick for afolobi sorry.

I said similar as in style not as good as or equally same in skill. I was using him as an example of how easy it may be to stay in the pocket of heavier fighters and not take clean shots as Toney has proved many of times. Toney is 1 of my all time favourites and I know how much of a great fighter he is as ive watched most of his career numerous times including Holyfield, Jirov, Washington, etc many of times
Toney has obviously spent many rounds sparring with Ola and it has rubbed off on him to were Ola is confident to stand in front of a strong fella and let him detonate bombs

I don't think Ola has the workrate or the mentality to do much at heavyweight. He has a sparring partners mentality and fights at the persons level - at times he looked very good on the Klitchsko vs Briggs undercard, then at other times he just allowed the guy to dictate - he couldn't afford to do that at heavy. Plus, I don't think he is the biggest Cruiser.

Would see him more as a Jonathan Banks than Haye, Adamek and Toney.
