Audley Harrisons of boxing.

[FeFist]

Honestly I feel most sorry for these type of fighters for the simple fact that they suffer the pain of having aspirations that were once realistic.

Audley Harrison won Olympic gold, you could say it was a realistic goal for him to become a world champion but instead he became a bum in most people's eyes and was essentially reduced to being a can for David Haye.

If a fighter doesn't gain any fame and his sole purpose is to boost the status of another fighter that isn't so demeaning as there is no fall from grace. Audley Harrison's situation is almost like Bill Gates losing all his money and being forced to do Apple commercials.

Boxers who won Olympic Gold at age 20 or so, like Ali, Frazier, Foreman, Holmes, Lewis and Klitschko, often go on to successful professional careers.

But Audley was nearly age 29 in 2000.

harrison has always acted like a major bender when he gets in the ring, really scared and always looked like he really missed the big pillows on his hands and the head protection.
most in the UK were well and truly ashamed of him before he got past his 2nd year in his pro career. i doubt boxing will produce many like him again, he really was very shameful when it came to fighting like he did for the size he was...very strange man.
