I agree Izon is very beatable at this moment, Mesi by the hardcore US boxing fraternity is considered the 'Bruno' of US Boxing - padded record with visible flaws, however Izon was not considered a threat for Mesi.tolstoy wrote:Yes, I agree. The time has come to fight opponents who won't give Audley such an easy night but whom, ideally, have little chance of causing an upset.Zhuge wrote:It's time for Harrison to step in with someone (a true heavyweight) who can test him.
Ross Purrity is probably one of the best journeymen out there but even now perhaps too dangerous and durable. Harrison needs a good name on his record that carries as little risk as possible. What about Florida-based one time contender David Izon? He's 35 and past his best but he has been in with top heavyweights like David Tua, Michael Grant and Fres Oquendo as well as Maurice Harris and Al Cole. He's coming off three successive defeats but is still a "name" in heavyweight terms and Audley could learn from him and gain a real confidence boost from beating him.
Any other ideas on potential future opponents, guys?
Harrison sheer size should mean that he can beat an Izon, Sullivan, Austin or maybe even Botha now.
