    I know it's the nature of the business and all that, and it aint gonna change anytime soon, but the champs should be fighting the BEST opposition in every fight. They are the CHAMPIONS, they should act like they are.

    It's so frustrating, the ethics of boxing makes me tear my hair out sometimes.
    It sucks but it's the way boxing is nowadays.

      Sam Peter is stronger than Danny Williams - and Audley has gone downhill since that time.

        Audley Harrison is an Olympic gold medalist. He would destroy Peter if he gives a performance like he did against Williams. The guy has great boxing ability and could beat any Heavyweight today, if he shows up ready for it.

        I still don't understand why people cry about his last fight? he destroyed the man and KOed him in 5 rounds.

          Do you honestly believe that Audley's last opponent was a world class opponent? He was just a short-notice opponent, a clubfighter, ranked about #350 by BoxRec.

            How has Audley gone down hill? a freak KO loss to Sprott and a dominating performance over a bum. Harrison is an on/off fighter, he doesn't like to get hit, but if he shows up for a fight he is unstoppable. Vitali Klitschko took 8 rounds to end Williams, Audley finished him in 3.

              So? what did he do wrong to make you say Audley's shot? He dominated him and stopped him in 5.

                Audley lost to Dominic Guinn.

                Guinn is just a clubfighter, he lost to Robert Hawkins in his last fight (I was at ringside for that one). Anyone who gets beaten by Guinn will have absolutely no chance against Sam Peter, that's reality!

                  One of his off nights. It wasn't a one-sided fight anyway. In fact Harrison had him almost out, but never went for the kill. He is scared to get hit.

                    I wouldnt be surpise if Audley Harrison takes this fight for free and actually outbox the technically limited Peter, sam is fighting Vitali in october so i would give him a pass on this one but why cant they go for Danny Wiliams? Skelton would make any fighter look bad and he just had a title fight with Chagaev anyway so why chose him? Also Harrison doesnt deserve the chance over someone like Williams.

                      The bout will take place on July 12 at the O2 Arena.
                      i'd be suprised if 10 seats get sold, Williams would have been a much better fight
