A very knowledgable responce there, not. How can people say Audley is improving uhh because he is. Since he has gone to America his defence has tightened right up and his hand and footspeed and more importantly punch have all improved. His level of opposition has gone up with each fight.

My Point! Good one eastmountpicko!

I'm with Mr Wilson on this one. The improvement is there for all to see. Watch the tapes of his last couple of fights and compare them with his first performances. There is a marked difference in almost every area, especially defense (his weakest area i believe).
I'd like to see him in with the winner of Hide/Williams (if it happens. I won't believe it until they're in the ring). It'll make it easier to judge his progress.

I think he will only fight the winner of Hide Williams if Hide wins as politics effectively rule out a fight with Williams. Hide hits hard and is quick so I think he is Harrisons biggest threat on the European scene. Hide, Williams and Harrison are the 3 best heavyweights in Britain. While I was glad Sprott won the British title he would lose to all 3 of these guys (he should have lost to Williams be honest) and Skelton doesnt even deserve to lace either fighters boots after his last performane against what was effectively a moving punch bag which should have been KOd straight away.

I think Audley has definately improved. But I still think he needs more improvements. Forget the title, Hersisa isa good step up. I think, though he doesn't have a lot of time, he should fight a couple of other people in the European rankings - of about this standard, before moving up to a more serious title.

No I dont think he should stick at Hersisias level. If Hide wins the EU title then fight him if not, Bonin or Nielsen as both are highly ranked and are about the only 2 not promoted by allegedly. Attilla Levin is right up there but I think its a little to soon for him.

Brian Nix!you Must be joking ! Do you even call that a challenge ! Come on jame! The guy is a “Puppet” (Brian)! I mean the rec speaks for it self: Won 18 (KOs 3) | Lost 12 | Drawn 0 |Tot 30!!!

He is a durable opponent. Golota took 7rounds to beat him and Nix holds a win over Tim Witherspoon. Another thing do you think Hersisia is a step up from Nix.

How old was Tim.W,when Nix Bet him!?

45 I think. Now Iv answered your question are u gonna answer mine. Is Hersisia a step up from Brian Nix.

May be! Time will tell ! But I think so, but not a world Champ. (Not yet)!

While I agree Audley's improvement has been evident since he moved to America I felt there were slight signs of improvement in the Draskovic fight and certainly in the fight against Ellis.

Unfortuneately that was overshadowed by the Hide episode.

I'd also add improved stamina to the list you mentioned above. I know his fights in the US have been short but Audley seemed to be active for a larger percentage of the rounds than he had been previously.

Auds training in Big Bear in Canada. The training camp is 7000ft up so his fitness will improve immencesly from training here. He is sparring with Vaughn Bean and Orlin Norris so hardly moving punch bags.

He will never be a World champ IMO.

That's quite a bold claim, what on earth makes you think that?

really sticking his neck out there!

I stand by every word I said in this thread. Jesus 8 years it just flies by doesn't it.

If he beats price he will get a title shot i think thats fair to say

I'll be suprised mate. Although in saying that I don't think there is a World heavyweight title defence that is too shit for the Klitschko's or Povetkin to make.

Audley said it himself the availability or lack there of opponents mean he would likely get a shot. Personally i think if he wins against price he would become the second most credible title challenger after Haye; who else is there? Fury if he beats chambers? thats about it. Seth mitchell hasnt fought anyone of note, stivern is looking like he would stand no chance....

Difficult to know if you were being sarcastic here (I'm not being arsey I promise, I just aint sure whether you noticed the dates of the posts.). My original comment was 8 years old. Bronxbull decided to drag up a thread on Audley that was made after (I assume) his fight Brian Nix.

Pulev for one is more credible even if Audley wins, in my opinion.

I wondered wtf you were on about, I thought Audley had a few fights since I'd not seen.

Bronxbull stop being a bell end dragging up old threads , most people will have known it was old from just the second post in , just as i did , your not being clever and your not catching anyone out , your just making yourself look like a pathetic troll
