AUDREY HARRISON TO FIGHT SPROTT or MATT SKELTON NEXT YEAR?

[Chambers]

Until Audrey fights an opponent who has a chance of winning and beats them, I'll stay cynical towards him!

I'll ask you Audrey Lovers This! What exactly has he done in his Pro career so far to make you think he'll be world Champion?

Lets look at his last 2 opponents :

Quinn Navaro - a shot journyman fighter ranked around 166th in the world

Lisandro Diaz - a novice club fighter who had no chance of winning the fight but due to Audrey's poor skill's lasted till the fourth

Basically, you Audrey Lovers are blind fools who are too in love with audrey to see that he's really not who you beleive him to be.

He fights guys who are no threat to him. Why should he fight a real fighter when your already a millionaire and living the high life

Wake up, the guys taking you for a RIDE!

He don't give a fornicate about his fans

He's just gonna love you and leave you

Nasty you are a prick
I have debated about Audley with you time and time again and everytime you slate his standard of opponent, but when I inform you that they are no worse than virtually any other HW's you seem to conveniently forget and come back a week later with another ridiculous post like the one above.

I would just like re-iterate 2 points.
1) Audleys opponents are not inferior to other HW's early opponents (in fact they are at a higher standard than the majority), Please try and remember this. Why do you judge Audley with one yardstick and everyone else with another.

2) Nasty is a prick

[Goz]

Nasty is a Tyson nut-hugger which generally says it all.

[Riddick Bowie]

nasty has a very loud, 'IN YOUR FACE' and juvenile style of posting, which generally points to a young, over eager forum user who doesnt really understand the game of boxing.

While, I can;t say I'm a fan of Nasty's writing style. Some of his comments are quite valid. For a guy who PROMISED the British title by his fifth fight, Harrison has been quite a dissapointment.

Like Nasty, I'll too will stay cynical but will give the guy a chance the minute he announces a decent opponent .

It is now time to step it up.

[Guest]

Oh man I have enjoyed reading this ruck I won't enter into this debate until Harrison beats someone half decent carrying some ambition. That doesn't mean I don't think Audley has talent, but he is yet to provide me with an opportunity to measure it properly.

Time will tell.

[Kilburn]

I may come across as an Audley-basher but I'm not (even though he talks his fair share of BS). I think he's padding his record in the same way that most half-decent fighters do at the beginning, nothing wrong with that. He wasn't ready for the any of the serious domestic contenders this year, maybe next year he will be and good luck to him.

What I can't easily tolerate is people talking as though Audley has somehow over-taken his British rivals without actually facing them or anyone at their level.

[Priff]

IMO, Audley has, so far in his professional career, not provided 1 performance to suggest he is destined to be a world (or even European) beater.

Sure, he is padding out his carrer with punch-bags (I have no problem with that, lot of fighters do it). The problem I have is that he isn't looking good doing it.

So until he actually provides a performance to write home about, i'm remaining an Audley dis-believer. Forget the hype and the self promotion, I'm waiting for a boxing performance.

Agreed. Question is though is whether you consider Skelton a serious domestic contendor. For me, he has actually overtaken Harrison due to his Holden victory. That (on paper) was a good match up and I credit Skelton for taking a risk. That's how a late starter with ambition should treat his career. It might now be possible to argue that Harrison is not ready for Matt - but who turned pro first?? Shouldn't it be the other way around.

But surely Harrison is ready for him, he is much more experienced than him (taking into account his amateur experience).

It is impossible to provide a performance that states that you are going to be a world beater when you are fighting inferior opposition. If he does put on an excellent performance and KO's his opponent in the first couple of rounds then everybody will quite rightly say "the opponent was not up to much"

Sure, he is padding out his carrer with punch-bags (I have no problem with that, lot of fighters do it). The problem I have is that he isn't looking good doing it.

I think Audley has looked very good in his last 4 performances and has improved alot since he has started training and sparring in the US

So until he actually provides a performance to write home about, i'm remaining an Audley dis-believer. Forget the hype and the self promotion, I'm waiting for a boxing performance.

The boxing performances will (hopefully) come next year when he returns over here and starts challenging Sprott, Skelton, Williams, Hide etc.

[stujones]

Yes, but he should be (if he'd faught better opponents) be considered too experienced for Skelton. Yet, already, people are saying Harrison should be challenging him - WTF.

Harrison turned Pro before Skelton, has more amateur experience than Skelton. Yet, Skelton has overtaken him the UK rankings.

This intakes the progress Harrison has made in the last 3 years.

I agree that Audley should currently be behind Skelton in the British rankings, but IMO Audley would beat Skelton if they met today.

IMO Audley is building a good foundation for the rest of his career and is being unfairly criticised for his rate of progress and for his standard of opposition.

Skelton is 36 years old, so he is having to progress his career quicker than he would have done so if he had had more time at his disposal.

David Haye is fighting inferior opposition. Other than an extremely dodgy left hand, hasn't HE shown you something to get enthusiastic about? Shown you skills to suggest he can make it, perhaps a future world beater? I think he has. In a few fights he's shown some real skills that you can get excited about.
(He's also shown BIG weakneses of course, which he can now work on)

I think Audley has not shown any such ability (he may have it, but has not shown it). The spurts of good skill from Audley of late are encouraging but not convincing. Not enough to justify the hype.

I think David Haye has a very eyecatching and spectacular style and is an exceptional talent. Audley is predominantly a counter puncher which IMO does not look as spectacular. David Haye has shown me alot to get enthusiastic about, but so has Audley albeit a different way.

The spectacular fighters are not necessary the fighters who retire with the most honours

these british heavies like skelton or sprott are no higher than the american journeymen audleys been whacking out recently.

matt skelton, a fat 36 yr old novice is somehow vastly superior to hardened US journeymen like quinn navarre whos been in with golota, holmes, thunder, brewster etc?

or michael sprott, a man whos been blown out by domestic level british heavies on numerous occasions, and had life or death struggles with opponents who arent even close to world class is now some kind of live dangerous contender?

Basically all you Audrey lovers are mean and miserable people who feel the WHOLE WORLD IS AGAINST YOU!

You called Sprott and Skelton Bums and no better fighters than what Audrey had fought so far!

Well this is one of the most stupidest and frankly down right bonkers statements I'VE EVER HEARD in my time following boxing! Maybe you need to spend some time at the same Hospital that Frank Bruno is spending time at!

Herbie Hide said it right, Audrey should shut the fornicate up about him if he dosen't have the balls to fight him

Same goes for Danny Williams, How long does Audrey need before fighting him? Another year! Your idea that this fight is gonna happen on Feb 4 2004 is another Whopper!

Audrey is RUNNING SCARED from his own shadow let alone Sprott, Hide, Williams and Golota, all of whom scared the shit out of Audrey!

Basically, Audrey is a scared little boy trapped in a Man's body. He's not a fighter but a BULLSHIT ARTIST, he'd be great as a DOOR TO DOOR DOUBLE GLAZING SALESMAN!

Basically, I'd be guessing but I'd say that at least 75% of the British public want him to get his arse kicked and to stop him from talking Drivel and calling people like Danny Williams ' COCKCROUCH' which is one of the worst things I've ever heard said from one Boxer to another.

Audrey Harrison is a disgrace to BOXING!

nasty, can you name me ONE threatening opponent in the first 13 fights of lennox lewis? david tua? mike tyson? hasim rahman? your beloved baby joe mesi? james toney? roy frickin jones?????????????????

Another Stupid quote!

Those above boxer's were all HEADING SOMEWHERE AND HAD A GAMEPLAN!

LENNOX won the European title in his 14th fight and the British title in his 15th fight!

MIKE TYSON was UNDISPUTED WORLD CHAMPION within 2yrs and 5 months of turning PRO!

Audrey Harrison has been a Pro for Exactly 2yrs and 5 months and has won fornicate ALL so far!

Rahman fought the very good Journeyman ROSS PURITY in his 13th fight

As for JOE MESI, its only in the last year or so that he's become a Full time pro and dedicated himself to winning the world title!


So, think before you compare other boxers to your beloved Audrey because your gonna look STUPID, WHICH ISN'T THAT DIFFICULT FOR YOU I'M SURE!

Nasty I'm sick of your generalising, just because one person makes such statements about Skelton and Sprott it doesn't mean everyone else feels the same.

Now everyone seems to be irritated by Harrison's previous comments in particular relating to winning the British title and his comments about other domestic contenders. Boxers by definition are confident, I mean to step in the ring in the first place you have to be somewhat confident in your own abilities. He craves publicity like what has been generated by his spats with these rivals in order to ensure that he remains in the publics eye. Harrison is basically selling himself and not doing a bad job of it.

When he first burst on the scene after winning gold he was rated quite highly so its no surprise to see him calling out people and portraying such confidence. Audley is an intelligent person or at least managed by intelligent people as proved by his million pound deal with the BBC. Hes not going to let people rush him into doing anything because at the end of the day hes 31 and he realises he has to be careful he doesn't lose.

Hide comes back on the scene fights three relatively poor journeymen and now hes being touted to fight Sam and Byrd. You people complain about Harrison not fighting Hide but then its unlikely Hide would accept the bout anyway. What you must also realise is that Harrison is all thats left for Williams, leaving Harrison in control and allowing Harrison to fight Williams when he feels hes ready.

[nasty]

What i don't understand about you Costa is that your smarter than your fellow Audrey lovers but you still persist in Worshipping this man?

We all have our Bad points and Audrey is Yours!

I hope you wake up in time and realise the CON that Audrey is committing on you!

Believe it or not I used to be a Big fan of Audrey and was really looking forward to his Pro career, I even defended him at first telling people that he needed time to settle in and find his feet but over time I realised that he was a CON MAN and became very, very disilliousioned by him!

AUDREY HARRISON IS THE DAVID BLAINE of BOXING

His whole career is an ILLUSION and Slight of hand. He fights Shot fighters and than claims to be improving when he knocks them out!

In the same way Blaine has found MUGS to watch him starve in a glass box, Audrey has also found MUGS to watch him box Doormen!

BOTH ARE ALSO BULLSHIT ARTISTS who do very little but get paid alot!

Someone on this thread thought nasty was a juvenile.

Hey Priff


I'm an American but I was trying to use some Britishism's to get through to you Limeys and i heard the headline from one of your papers BONKERS BRUNO LOCKED UP!

Anyway, it just show's you another reason to realise Audrey Harrison is a Conman, when asked who he wanted to fight out of Bruno and Hide, he chose Bruno, even though it was common knowledge among the boxing fraternity at the time that he was already sick and needed help.

Basically, I'm trying to kick Audrey out of America and send him First Class back to your Country!

We already have our own problem with fraudulent boxers like Faruq Saleem without adding Frauds from abroad!
