Audleys gonna get ya, Audleys gonna get ya

I notice people keep mentioning Clay-Bey as a slight step up. Clay-Bey is underrated and I'd give him a good chance against pretenders like Mesi. The SN boys now seem to be out of his reach and Hide is in trouble again so the States may still beckon. I'd like to seem him have a crack at the European scene but can anyone suggest a potential fight without throwing Sam straight in.

Audley has the best skills out of all the heavy`s out there..imo...I only wish more of our boxers would go out the US for a few fight`s the sparring is so much better....we really lack top heavywieght sparring in this country. Aud should fight Cliff Ettiene next...and then i think we would see the real Audley Harrison.

does any one believe he can be world champion?i mean one of the proper belts.

In answer to beduffs point I think he can win a meaningful title. WBO I feel thats meaningful, I think give it 18months and he would be up there with Byrd, Klitschko the two of them would be very tough tho so well see. In answer to Costas point Atilla Levin I believe is an outstanding boxer he could contest for the Euro Championship so if ya want Hide could fight him, Timo Hoffman as well even tho he lost to Akiwande is still a huge force. But I think if you put Hide and Harrison in a ring Aud would bust his face in.

I'd back him to win the WBO belt.....anything else I'm not too sure as yet.

I think it's a case of how quick his progression is. If he fights the domestic scenes best (Williams, Hide, Sprott, Skelton) then I think he can be up there come the end of 2004, also if he fights good seasoned journeymen over in the states he can improve quickly. His stamina over long distances remains the question, he went 8 rounds with Draskovic and looked pretty good in my book. But against better opposition will he last 12 rounds, I think he can but it remains a question mark as he still hasn't done it. On the world title issue I think it depends on how many of Lewis' titles the Klitschkos will take when Lewis retires. I think in 18months 2 years Audley Harrison will be up there.
