Let me make you the champ, Audley
"I want to stay involved and now I'm working out again that is likely to include becoming a trainer."
Lennox Lewis is offering to help Audley Harrison resurrect his career by training him to the world heavyweight title.
Is this optimism beyond the point of reason?
"Definitely not," says Lewis. "Audley has the talent to be The Man. Losing a couple of fights doesn't change that. What matters is not whether you can come back from a knockout like the one he just took from Michael Sprott - we all can if we want it enough - but how you come back.
"Has he learned that it takes more than he's given so far?"
Lewis is encouraged by his own fabled maestro Emanuel Steward to become a trainer and he is inviting Harrison to join him in the gym in Miami where he has made his family home.
He said: "The biggest mistake Audley made was turning down the offer I once made him to be part of my training camp. He needs to find out what it's really all about at the highest level. It's 12 weeks in isolated concentration.
"It's not about quick knockouts. It's grinding up to survive 12 rounds, to take the pain, to never give up.
"It's also about the basic of asserting the jab. Nothing works properly without that. Audley has the jab but he has to knuckle down to using it."

[Of course this is the paper that said Lewis was coming back lol]

The best trainer in the world couldn't do anything with him. He's got a bad chin and scared attitude. He's simply not cut-out for the top.

Well if they copy wrestling and make a tagteam rule, then this would work. But so long as Audley has to stay in the ring, and Lennox can't get in and take a few punches for him, then I don't see the difference.

Flogging a dead horse.
Audley Should retire befor he gets hurt badly.

I wonder how long it will take for them to get the point of training where you learn how to actually throw punches.

Lennox may be able to work with him and make him into something as a figgter. Big guy with a vulnerable chin who also lost focus at times during his own career. May be the best person to help him.

you ***s dont know shit. watch whe naduley becomes champ, you'll be eating your words.

/\ o ryt........... i think he's wasting his time, maybe he should try coaching someone younger, say 17 years old....hmmm i wonder wh - ME, thats who Lewis should coach!!

Lennox lewis' chin was generally pretty good, not to mention the fact that Lewis was world class. Harrison hasn't even gotten out of domestic level yet. Nothing can be done with a 35-year-old guy who has a terrible chin and is scared to death. Lewis lost focus twice in a 14-year-career. If that was a sly dig at Lewis, it was a bad one.

The best advice Lewis could give him would be QUIT!

Michael Sprott isn't even that big of a puncher as far as I'm aware, and Harrison was out cold. I dread to think what some of the real big punchers would have done.

Lennox may be a good choice for trainer, but at 35 its kinda late in the game.

No not a dig at Lewis, he is an all time great or near that level anyway while Harrison will never even be champion IMO BUT Lennox may be a good teacher for Harrison who is similar to Lewis physically. Teach him how and when to tie up, how to use the jab to best effect, how to get more power into his right hand and how and when to throw a powerful uppercut

I think he should go and teach some young British prospects instead of wasting his time with this.
