Why is Audley nicknamed 'A Force'?

Post by dondada »

Someone has just asked me and I don't precisely know. I mean, I can guess but I don't know.

Does anyone?

Feel free to use this as another platform to attack Aud but if anyone actually knows the answer, go for it.

because "Iron", "Bonecrusher" and "The Greatest" have all been used at some point...

edit: .....I forgot to add "Fearless" :box:

Man this thread could be comedy genius.

But out of my new found love for Audley 'Money' Harrison, I will let it go.

'A Force of Nature'

Is it his take on G-Force?

He suffered constipation some time ago and locked himself in the bog until a worried team member shouted up, "are you all right?"
"I'm forcing it," replied Audley, wearily, and so "A Force" was born.

"A Farce " would sum up some of his performances. I think A Force as in a force of nature is prob what he was going for?

David Haye no longer fears 12 rounds. The right-hand-happy cruiserweight who punched himself out against Carl Thompson developed strength and strength of character as he filled out to heavyweight a couple of years ago. All of a sudden the gangling youngster looked different, all of a sudden the 30-year-old Haye was different, and he chased off a Russian behemoth by the name of Nikolai Valuev to win the WBA heavyweight title last year in Germany, wobbling Valuev in the 12th and last round with a big left hook and taking a unanimous decision. The new David Haye had arrived.
Audley Harrison landed his own big left in the 12th and last round to win the European heavyweight title against Michael Sprott earlier this year in London. The new Audley Harrison? 'Oh yes,' say his long-suffering fans, when we had a virtual replica of Harrison's infamous 12-rounder with Julius Francis many moons ago (and there was more than one moon on the night) as Harrison waited and waited to pull the trigger, then waited some more. Southpaw Harrison only unloaded when he was sure his opponent posed absolutely no threat to him, flooring an overweight, exhausted Francis in the final round to seal a snoozefest of a decision and flattening the tired little Sprott to seal a knockout and a shot at Haye on November 13 in Manchester. Be careful what you wish for.
Harrison, who is 39 next week, faces a man who no longer grows tired, who no longer relies on just the big right hand, who no longer wants to be friends. David Haye is the heavyweight champion of the world and this, for him, is another annoying, marking-time affair like his 10-round stoppage of John Ruiz in Manchester in April, when Haye refused to allow a notorious stinker in the Harrison mould do his thing, busting up the challenger, flooring him four times and punching him to a slow standstill.
I can see the same happening next month. Harrison will run and run and run (he calls it boxing) as Haye picks the big shots, floors him every time he gets through, and forces a stoppage in the middle rounds after yet another knockdown.

I'm saving any insults or micky taking until 14th November, just in case, just in case!

I have a sneaking suspicion and it's getting stronger.

The old romantic in me has a similar suspicion........ but then I think about it logically and Haye KOs him in the first half of the fight

By the way, I know Stoney Middleton well. Massive drugs bust there recently - factory producing crystal meth underground. Very out of place.
