View Full Version : What Audley Harrison needs to do now:
Parody 04-16-2006, 12:52 PM Either
A) Retire
B) Get A Trainer Like Emanuel Steward And Keep Fighting
C) Try To Rebuild Against Journeymen
Mr. Ryan 04-16-2006, 12:55 PM The good thing is that he can make money because there are still people who believe in him, just not me or alot of other people. He can fight a bunch of bums and fringe contenders and make alot of money. So why retire? Boxing is more about money than pride and principle.
Bhopsfan 04-16-2006, 12:55 PM He needs to retire man, He's done. he cant do **** now....
Parody 04-16-2006, 12:57 PM I want him to retire, but hes a ****ing Idiot, hes got a physical gift and hes the 2000 Olympic Gold medalist...And he does'nt come in shape or he does'nt fight, I reckon If he joins with Emanuel Steward (What Lennox Lewis did) he can improve, give him 6 fights against Journeyman and then a tough fight to get his confidence back and the mental problems will be over.
Bhopsfan 04-16-2006, 01:01 PM Man hes not a spring chicken. hes nearly 35. if he was as young as jeff lacy then i woulda given him chance but not now. he needs to retire before he's gets seriously injured in a boxing ring :rolleyes:
I heard hes made 3-4 million pounds(which is about $6m) so thats not a small amount of moeny. he can start some business or something with that money.
peace

Dude James Toney is 38, Bernard Hopkins is 41, Matt Skelton is 39 (And he beat Danny Williams but got robbed), The point is Age sometimes dont matter, Audley won the Gold when he was 30 Years old, can you imagine?
I am pissed off with him because hes a ****ing disappointment recently but seriously he was self managed which was stupid, he needed a team, if joined with frank warren he would have been a solid contender, If he gets a good promoter and a trainer like Emanuel Steward he has a chance. Hell we though Shannon Briggs was over, look he rebuild himseld against Journeyman and slowly hes stepping up the level as his confidence is increasing.

your wrong, his contract up untill that guy called thomaz bonin was about £1million
after that i dont know. he cant possibly have more than that?
he needs to fight. to get money.
FeelTheA-Force 04-16-2006, 01:17 PM why is audley harrison self managed.? monte barrete even admitted in an interview that being self managed was a bad thing. coz he peaked 2 weeks before the rahman fight.
he needs to get a real manager. a guy that will look after him. and needs to fighter at least a few times a year now.
B.relampago 04-16-2006, 01:18 PM he should retire.

Dude You are full of ****, you are comparing him with bhops and james toney? and as for matt skelton , hes been fighting in MMA all his life so he didnt start his career at 38. look man MMA is not boxing but still basic fundementals are same (like gettin in shape etc) . and u know what? u r again full of **** about skelton-danny fight. it wasnt a robbery, it was a clear cut result in favour of danny. skelton fought like a dirty prick in that fight and shoulda been disqualified. you are such a biased prick really. and we dont know how good shannon briggs is yet cos he hasnt fought any decent boxers. hes been fighting bums and u cant say much about him just yet.
dude ur fraudley got exposed and ur still pissed. he will always be the same no matter how many trainer he changes.
TyrantT316 04-16-2006, 01:29 PM he just doesn't have the mentality and desire of a true champion...he thinks he is Lennox Lewis' successor because he is big...but just doesn't show up to fight and not sure if he can...
as my father said..."a man that big doesn't even want to fight?"
he is a done turkey...stick a fork in his leg and give it to the head of the household at the dinner table...he is done

You are a retarded hopkins fan who does'nt know **** about his boxing, if you read my post above you would know i was comparing him to toney or hopkins, i was saying that the age factor does'nt matter, read before you post *******.
Another thing, go and watch Skelton vs Williams, if you cant ill send you the link, i have kept watching it and many people (Even Williams fans) Agree that Skelton won that fight.
Son I have been here longer than you and probably have more boxing knowledge than you, im not saying how im an expert etc etc, But your a ****ing amatuer, the fact is you are still upset when you begged Anorak to join Team Classic and got rejected, LOL.
If there is anyone biased its you, trying to score the Judah/Mayweather fight a Draw, and still getting it wrong by giving floyd 7 rounds to 5, go and learn your maths dumbass.

And as for Audley, I made a thread that he should retire, you can ask anyone, the dude is a fraud I know, the only reason I am pissed off with him hes got the physical gift yet he does'nt use it.
Bhopsfan 04-16-2006, 01:59 PM lol dude i started that thread just to piss of anorak..... i hate that *****
Bhopsfan 04-16-2006, 02:00 PM YOU JUST GOT PWNED
Admit IT ;)
Da Iceman 04-16-2006, 02:00 PM lol dude i started that thread just to piss of anorak..... i hate that *****
you got a red bar in 60 post. people must hate you too.
MetalVomit 04-16-2006, 02:03 PM A. Retire
B. Retire
C. Retire
Da Iceman 04-16-2006, 02:06 PM nobody will fight him except bumbs that wanna get paid.
Bhopsfan 04-16-2006, 02:07 PM No ppls just cant stand the truth. read my thread's after judah-mayweather robbery u will see how biased some of these Pretty fraud mayweather's fans are..... all my arguments were valid but all i got was BAD K . and u know what? i couldnt care less about my karma bar :p its only for nerds like u lol :o :D

People cant stand your bull**** for making Biased comments all the time, you have the second round 10-8 to Judah but you dont take away the points for the lowblow followed by a rabit punch in round 10, and somehow you gave round 11 and round 12 to Judah. :rolleyes:
Bhopsfan 04-16-2006, 02:17 PM K parody go read my thread about PBF's suspect chin . lets see if u can refute any of my arguments :D .. and no u dont get points deducted for just one 1 low blow, u have to keep low blowing for atleast 2-3 times before u get point deducted. and if anything it's PBF who shoulda been disqualified.

Lowblow and a Punch that was hit on the back of the head, both on purpose.
Yaman 04-16-2006, 03:04 PM Retire my ass. He just needs to believe in himself and untill he does, he can beat some good fighters.
Da Iceman 04-16-2006, 03:06 PM harrison has shown he doesnt have the heart of a fighter. so just retire.
King Koyle 04-16-2006, 03:09 PM I think he should hire a world class trainer and go from there.
Retiring would be a little drastic right now.And feeding on
journeymen would do no good.As soon as he stepped up again
the same thing would happen.

yYour crazy man, thers just no way in hell that was a clear cut decision for williams...i thought it was skeletons fight, could have maybe seen a draw but thats it. I dont understand you MMA point either...skeleton has been going through extreme pyhsical labor all his life and is still fighting at 39! Your really not even making sense.
and changing your trainer makes a HUGE difference!
Dont you know anything about boxing?

Yes it makes difference with younger fighters (lets say like jeff lacy) but u cant teach new tricks to an old pony.
peace
iron mike tyson 04-16-2006, 04:26 PM i picked retire but then read about fighting journeymen and stepping up in class as hes confidence grows and that sounds like a good idea cause audley aint just a random bum who cant fight he is a very talented fighter and if he had half the heart lennox lewis had hed be a current world champion
if managed by a experienced promoter theres still top doller to be made in the us and if marketed right here in the uk he could be a respectable box office fighter
.....I saw that fight from my hotel room at Hard Rock in Orlando and thought it wasn't bad at all. I had totally forgotten that it was on and then turned on the TV right as it was starting. At times, when both guys let their hands go it was very exciting. I thought Guinn won but it didn't seem as wide as the judges had it. Audley is a mystery for sure. Who knows with that guy? Why not keep fighting? Seems like people either love him or hate(mostly) him so at least they will tune in to see him get beat.

FibreOptic 04-16-2006, 09:00 PM I still think he has some marketability. His problems are lack of motivation more than anything else. I heard that during the Danny Williams fight, he had Danny hurt, but didn't follow up on it. If he fought Dominic Guinn like he did for the last minute of the 10th round for the entire fight, it would have been clearer on where he stands as a HW. He still has the tools to be a great HW, but seems to lack the spark that he needs to get there.
AREALFIGHTER 04-16-2006, 09:11 PM Dude James Toney is 38, Bernard Hopkins is 41, Matt Skelton is 39 (And he beat Danny Williams but got robbed), The point is Age sometimes dont matter, Audley won the Gold when he was 30 Years old, can you imagine?

Hell we though Shannon Briggs was over, look he rebuild himseld against Journeyman and slowly hes stepping up the level as his confidence is increasing.very good point about harrison and briggs but one thing well a couple, Briggs has one punch power, and two he has made good money outside of the ring. Audly does have charisma like shannon but he needs to worry about fighting and winning. Also Briggs has always in his long career a good fighter Lewis knocked him back to reality and he had to realize that his natural talent could only take him so far. Harrison is the same way. Briggs is a much better than ever because he really wants to be a fighter. This may sound gay but he has fought the best journey men avalable. Harrison made two real good matchups then failed to show up to the fight. Briggs is getting to the end of what his mouth can do he needs to fight a solid top 20 fighter and then fight higher if not he is just takeing peoples money like a butterbean
