What justification do you have for Afolabi being the best cruiserweight in the world? He was well down against Enzo before he won and there are multiple other guys with more impressive resumes then his.
He was fighting to a gameplan that came off perfectly. Look at any round by round thread on any forum and you'll see people were saying that Enzo looked like he was in danger of having a nasty accident, and he did. It was a great performance against an admittedly not well prepared Macca.
Does that make him the best in the world when compared to Adamek and Cunningham? As for the gameplan of leaning back on the ropes to drop a bomb, well when he was against the ropes he was being pounded! The KO came in the middle of the ring and he was well down at the time of the stoppage no matter if it looked like Enzo was in danger throughout the fight.

I dont see how one can say he is better than Cunningham, Adamek, and even guys like Jones, Arslan and Huck. He has a win over one world rated cruiser (which he was clearly losing) and he struggled in his prior fight with a 9-3 fighter.

Look at the poll. It's like asking the audience on "Who Wants To Be A Millionnaire?" when you're on a hundred pounds.

No, it isn't.

Its like walking into a pub at 11 am and asking people "what do you think of my new hat? is it better or worse than the one i wore yesterday?"

Now you might get a few people saying "oh its better" or "i dunno, i liked the Sherlock Holmes one more" but alas the vast majority will be muttering something about "care in the community" whilst their wives say " Oh leave him alone, Its a shame, Frank"



do you see?

I was hoping the poll would have the category:

"Who gives a shit it makes no odds as it's a list made up by a bloke in his bedroom and has no meaning"

:TU:

Seriously though Horse, keep plugging away mate

Ola told me he was an African aristocrat and he speaks with an American accent. Right enough, this was two years ago and we were both drunk in Tuscon, Arizona and he was telling me that he would never fight again due to an eye injury! At least that`s the way I remember it though my memory is a bit suspect about that night! African, American or British he`s a good lad, though.

I was at the Macca v Afolabi fight.

Straight after the fight he was continually pointing at the uniion jack on his shorts. That enough reason for me to inclued him.
