He definetly has a better record than Zumbrun. Distance fight with ho-hum Terrence Lewis, Distance with Monte Barratt, Frankie Swindell, Moorer and Charles Shufford.
Have to agree with you all that Davis looks a bit better as an opponent than Zimbrun. And, as stu says, it is a 'comeback.' Another fight or two after this, but then it will have to be a Peter or a Brock by Dec or Jan. We'll have to see what Audrey looks like, but I'd say he'd have a reasonable chance with either. Did he not beat Brock as an amateur?
If Audley puts on a display like the last time he fought in America he should KO Davis quicktime. If he can't match Joe Mesi's achievement he should be ashamed.
Davis chin is gone ever since his loss to Terrence Lewis.(As some of the eurosport regulars might know, the rematch got broadcasted no less than 427 times)
Not a credible opponent in any way, at least zumbrun would have come to fight
I don't he's too much of a danger to Audley. Audley's footwork and sharp counter punching will be Davis' downfall, because Robert's movement is not that great. But he does come to fight and is on a small winning run.
Not bad considering Audley's coming off an injury enforced layoff.
I have to say Dutch Windmill is usually spot on when it comes to things like this. His assessment of fighters is very good and he has seen Davis probably more than any of us.
He got the Dutch Sonny Liston spot on.
This one now gets a Harry Carpenter esque "oh dear".
Zhuge - gotta disagree with u there, i watched zumbrun get stopped by the big fat mess known as patrice l'heureux and he basically quit after being swarmed with arm punches. And I have to say
that davis, even at this stage in his career would probably batter l'heureux.

I hope you're right, but look at Davis' activity the past 3 years and what he's done. I know of (and have seen) most of those journeymen he's fought lately, and they are far from any sort of tests.
He was recently declined as an opponent for Roman Greenberg. Possibly on the basis that he is too dangerous. Althoough I hear that Ettiene or Shufford may now be fighting Greenberg in Las Vegas.
This guy Davis has it well within him to Knock Audley out.
Audley will have a massive height. weight reach advantage, but dont be surprised at all if Davis KO´s him
Better opponent than Zumbrun but heck should we happy with that? NO. Lol Zumbrun as an opponent was an insult, Davis is a moderate foe but seriously does Audley even believe his own hype anymore?
