You make it sound like Theophane would be likely to beat those fighters, when he would most likely lose to most or all of them.

There is an interview with Ashley on britishboxing.net now.

I was looking at the schedules on Saturday, and I noticed DeMarcus Corley with a block of red by his record. So I had a look and I didn't realise he had fought Theopane recently.

It's a name I recognise but I don't think that I have ever seen him fight. Anyway there's a copule of articles about him on Britishboxing.net (I think one by Boxrec's Stu Jones) and it's refreshing to see a boxer go over to America on his own and try to get a few fights. Based on his record he doesn't seem to have a chance at world class, but it should be invaluable experience on the domestic front.
