In many ways he's too clever for boxing:
His game plans too complex
His terrified face a ruse
His poor chin a trick
His charisma overwhelming
His left-hand too powerful to compute
His heart taking up all of his 6'5 inch frame.
True boxing fans will remember him for his brave performance against Danny Williams in the first fight losing a close decision. A face etched with anguish and pure fear but with a real British determination not to get punched in the face.
Then just when we thought we couldn't ask for anymore he followed it up with a spectacular decision loss to Dominic Guinn.
Other highlights include the punch heard round the world from Michael Sprott and dropping a decision to a Taxi driver.
But my personal favourite memory is his victory over the P4P no1 fighter in Galway, Ireland - Coleman Barrett. Boxing's saviour they said: 'not on my watch,' said Audley. He felled the tiny chubby cruiser in a tremendous prizefighter battle.
