    In a day when so many athletes write about such meaningless achievements, it is heartening to read Audley Harrison's terrific story. A superb account charting his fight for amateur boxing in the UK to the wonderful culmination in winning the Gold Medal at the Sydney Olympics and becoming a national hero. It is excellently writeen, and gives a real insight into the life of a boxer and the hard work and determination needed to reach the top of the toughest sport in the world. Harrison is up-front and honest about his life and it is a testiment to him that he has risen from his early childhood days to become the sportsman that he is today with all that he has achieved. I would thoroughly recommend this book.

      It is a joke. Like him. I won't be buying his book. lol. One of the worst fighters i've ever seen in the Uk. The thing is, he did have some talent, but didn't have the balls and backbone to match.

      And the funny thing is, he STILL thinks he can make it. I bet the BBC were glad they broadcast some of his fights a few years ago. Great commercial success that was...

        He needs to get in the ring with Sprott and Williams and knock them out to get any credit.

              Who gives a **** about a random person's opinion of a BOOK!!?

              Hey, check out the Britney Spears album reviews on Amazon. There are no doubt some favorable reviews, so now should I believe what they are saying and go buy a Britney Spears album?

              I refuse to believe this thread is serious. But let's take another look at the poll questions...

              He had a great career and will be an ATG

              He didn't have a great career, it was atrocious and he is nowhere near being a Hall of famer, never mind ATG. On the contrary, people can't wait until the guy calls it a day and admits he just doesn't have what it takes.

              He had a good career but not an ATG

              No. Again, he had an atrocious career, getting beat by taxi drivers and knocked out by a removal man. FACT.

              He showed great heart and skill but underachived

              His MASSIVE lack of heart is his exact problem! He does have some skills, but he doesn't have a clue how to use them unless it's against complete nobodies who can't fight.

              Went in with best but never made it

              He didn't get anywhere near fighting the best. LMAO! The best was Lewis. The best was Tyson. The current best, as much as I dislike them, are the Klitschko brothers. I will also include David Haye. Imagine what Haye would have done to Audley, never mind Vitali and Wlad? Again, he fought taxi drivers and removal men. His only decent win is against an untrained Danny Williams -- a guy who showed more heart in his fight against Potter (who Danny knocked out with his arm literally hanging out of the socket) than Audley has in his entire list of fights combined.

              Honestly, I don't like to pick on Audley, I actually feel sorry for the guy, but damn dude, let's get real.

                I guess this is supposed to be funny but I could do without this garbage thread.

                If we wanted to talk seriously about it I would say that Harrison was the biggest underachiever of the past decade. His career, as it stands right now, is the biggest joke in the business.

                    Harrison does have a win over Williams who beat Tyson so that must mean that Harrison is one of the top guys.

                      Audley Harrison has been the worst fraud in British boxing history.

                      His entire professional career is best defined by the loss to the taxi driver Rogan.

                      I would like to see he and Danny Williams have one last fight, and Audley get KOed by Danny.
