In a weird way, I'm actually starting to respect Audley

[.Mik.]

Audley's a weird fighter. If he could fight with the top 10 and the bottom 10 in World boxing, I wouldnt be surprised if he came out with 10 victories...but it being 5 from each pool. He has so much potential talent, but so many foibles and failures too. If he got it all right on the night, I could see him beating most people in the division (while at THEIR best too), but I dont think that he would ever do that more than maybe 20% of the time.

I agree with that post. He can lose to Williams like a total failure, but then come back and put a beating on him. He knocked Sprott down in the first round, but then got KO'D in the third after dominating. He's too risky. He doesnt seem consistent enough to win a title which is a shame.

He wont ever be consistent enough to even warrant a title shot. There is nobody like Mike Tyson around anymore (big name, fallen star, easy ride towards getting a title shot just off beating someone who used to be great but is now at 10% of his best) to try and score a title shot off.

I`m starting to question whether audley has any talent. Yes he can box, but so can thousands of others.

i think he was at an olympics as an amateur with the weakest crop of 'heavyweights' we have seen in a long time. He had no fears of being roughed up because all the guys i saw him fight were made for him, overweight, plodd forward, immobile, lacking power type fighters.

Then his pro career starts and he fights some blown up, part timers which he wins handily.

He hasn`t really defeated anyone at all. I wouldn`t count his victory over danny williams as anything, williams was clearly out pf shape and took the fight at short notice.

I think people are annoyed at the way he just expected to win a world title...well now he's been found out and people feel conned by him and his media circus...

i hope he gets ko'd again and never returns.

to me, he embodies everything that a real boxer isn`t - greedy, lazy, hyped up and loud mouthed about his opponents and his own 'perceived' ability.

He's a good example though of how boxing turns peoples lifes around. I know theres laods like Hopkins and that but boxing is riddiculed as being violence with money. Shows boxing is a positive thing in peoples lifes.

BBC or whoever it was who paid his wages shouldnt have paid him in 1 lump sum. That allowed him to get lazy. They should have paid him on delivery of goods. That way he would have done his roadwork 5am pronto. No that is cruel really. They should have given him allowance money of about £200 a week just so he could pay the bills and feed himself.
But the million or so he got allowed him to party, and not be fearful of paying the bills etc.
