Danny has Herbies number (Herbie is scared)
Audley has Danny's number (Will outpsyche him)
Herbie has Audleys number (Audley bad memories from a beating in sparring)

Interesting take on the trio. I honestly believe Danny's lost that vital spark as a fighter. He seems to be tagging along just for the money now, so I don't see him reigning for too much longer. I wouldn't be surprised if Michael Sprott beat him in their mandatory rematch slated for February. Danny's fighting in Germany this weekend against Ralf Packheiser and it will be interesting to see how how he performs there. If he gets past Packheiser (which he should) and then Sprott, I do believe Williams-Harrison will take place around the time you mentioned and that Audley will win. Audley's body shots would be the key to victory in my opinion. He'll wear Williams down and prove too big and strong and awkward for him in the end.
But Hide and Skelton are the future of British heavyweight boxing I believe, despite their ages. Audley wouldn't beat Hide, and Skelton has the potential to beat everyone.

For me its Williams and Skelton have the best future in this devision (still) I do believe overall they are the better guys, I think Danny has more skill than Audley, less than Herbie (but got a significantly better chin).
Skelton I would say is the naturally hardest hitting of the bunch, but nobody knows anything about his mental strength, stamina, chin and many other aspects of his game.
I wonder why Williams has pulled out, I thought he was forced to face Sprott soon - when are the BBBoC going to take legal action.

I think i would give hide the nod over the rest of the british bunch at the moment, but not by much.
I think that skelton will show and aspire to next year, the best heavyweight in the UK.

For me HH has huge question marks hanging over him. His chin could shatter at any time, on the other hand his power would trouble any of the British contenders and this is what makes him so interesting

yeah "the herb" is such an enigma u don't know whats going to happen i just wish he'd step up to the plate and take on williams, one thing i am certain of "the herb" of 93,94,95 would have pasted williams easily

Herbie hasn't faced anything approaching decent opposition in a long time, and as a result, I have no faith in him at all. He also carcked his briefs at the thought of being pummelled by Danny Williams. As a reflex-based fighter who is getting on, and a small heavyweight, you have to question how well he's going to cope with a big man who can move like Audley. Also you don't exactly have to have the most dynamite fists to tickle Herbie's whiskers, and I think as time goes on, Audley's punchpower is going to increase.
Willilams is mentally on the slide, Skelton I must confess to not having seen as yet, but sounds like a genuine aggressive and hard hitting heavyweight, who has been untested as yet.
