harrison had the skills, but his chin was shaky and he didnt have the X factor that makes a great fighter
How do you rate Audley Harrison's career

yea i agree with al of this...u hit the nail right on the head hereTo be honest a rather pour one. Harrison was being touted for greatness, but yet didn't even claim a Lonsdale Title. I was writing about how his career panned out on another thread a few weeks back...
Harrison won Gold at the 2000 Olympics capping off a wonderfull amature career, big big things were expected as people were touting him to take over from Lennox Lewis as the next great British Heavyweight. He was signed right away to multi million pound contract.
Harrision seemed to get off to a good start, winning his first 19, but danger signs were already there as he was really getting booed even when winning. He was given his first loss against Danny Williams in 2005, Williams was 32 years old who's best days were thought to be coming to a end, as this was considered a stepping stone for Audley. It wasn't to be as Audley was beaten in a sloppy affair.
Over the next 4 years Harrision's career was stop and start. He would lose his next fight in the USA against Dominick Guinn on UD. But would comeabck to KO Danny Williams. In his last 4 fights he had won 2 and lost 2 and in those fights has been knocked out by journyman Michael Sprott in 3. Harrision was such a letdown, and didn't even win a British Title never mind a World Title. He still thinks he can become World Champion, but it is now a very slim chance.
He was recently calling out David Haye, saying Haye wound't even give him a fight on his promotion, but Haye ignored the claims.
audley in the early stages of turnin pro, needed guidence on what to do with his career and a good trainer...but he messed up...plus he really has no balls for the sport...he gets scrared of geting hit
btw u see audleys 'trainin at the gym', on frank warrens channel on u tube?
Audley is hitin the pads, and it is one of the worst pad work ive ever seen...no exegeration..
the guys body shots on the pads were wrong..from the vid..it seems he doesnt even know the basics...
you can sum up audleys fightin style like this

he is a bearly Journeyman level pro who didn't have teh skillset, heart or Chin to mix it at European much less World level, and constantly tried to cash cheques he wasn't capable of paying.
Frankly the man is a disgrace to the UK, Amir Khan can find teh source of his poor reputation directly coming from Fraudley's mouth.Comment
