Does a win over Danny prove anything on the world stage?

Post by tonyevs »

What does a win over Danny Williams mean on the world scene?

I don’t really see it meaning anything, I mean his one world title fight was as one sided as you could get, Danny was pummelled.
His pummelling by the hands of Sam also underlines his limitations on the real world stage.

His defeat of Tyson now means nothing after that tomato can McBride also defeated Tyson. :oops:

Danny was carefully chosen as fodder for Tyson, Tyson’s people knew Tyson was short of world-class ability even then, they just didn’t know quite how bad he had further fallen.

Only in Britain is so much credit given to Danny Williams, but even that is more myth than actual fact…”on his day Danny could do …”.
“in the right frame of mind Danny could…..”

All bollox, when has he ever shown it? :-?

If Audley is to make a statement that he really is world class he has to make this fight totally one sided, Sam did and so did Vitali. :box:

I think this fight is real 50/50, both are not much better than average.
Danny has a punchers chance because Audley lacks heart.
Audley could win because he has good boxing skills, and the most likely outcome is that he clinches and punches on the break until he catches the fat Danny Williams late on. :-?

Just can’t see this fight turning into anything like the hype has made it.

Danny rushes out swinging for two rounds, Audley ties him up and spoils, hits on the break ,and Danny goes into the doing nothing mode and gets caught when he `s tired, and after a solitary Harrison combination the ref stops it…and Harrison tells us he has proved he can now beat all the other belt holders on the world stage….and Duke agrees with him. :P :lol:

Nothing but a one-sided fight will convince me though. :evil:
If Harrison can keep Danny off with the jab and slot in the left hand, :TU:
if he can dissuade Danny from bulling in with the uppercut, :TU:
and then after 4-5 rounds when Danny is doing nothing just overawe him and get the stoppage :TU:
Only then will I be a believer….will it happen like that….. :lol: :lol:

Depends what you mean by 'World stage.' These days a pair of wins over McBride and Ray Austin will get you a title shot.

Can't comment on the Americans, but I was talking about the fight today with a couple of guys, and a 'Joe Bloggs' boxing fan came over and said Williams would win easy - "a guy who's beaten Tyson has to be special." I can assure you he was being sincere.

As for the manner in how he has to go about it. Yes, Williams was royally battered by both Sam and Klitchko, but Harrison isn't a massive puncher for his size. A wide UD would be decent, although he has to get enough punches in to emphasise things. Stamina may be a doubting point for Harrison, but what is it going to be like for Danny, who'll be lugging 20 stone around - and when was the last time he went 12 rounds?
