I wish there was another person on this planet that could understand the excruciating agony this causes me.

Audley couldnt fight but he was a shrewd mother****er when it came to selling his fights,the guy made millions from his mouth its a shame he wasnt a better fighter because he was a likeable guy compared to **** heads like David Haye....good luck to him anyway

Audley Harrison is an embarrassment to professional boxing.

He fights with an open guard, as if he has the skills of Roy Jones Jr, but without any movement of the feet or body. He's an open target, as first Haye then Price exposed. All you have to do is have a punch and, if you're not bigger than him, close the distance.

He's also evidently somebody with no self belief. If you think all that bluster over the years was just a sales pitch; you're half right. It was also an attempt to convince himself that he ever had a chance of being a success in the pro ranks. Every time he was saying, "Trust me, I'm destined to be champion!" he was saying it just as much to help his own lack of confidence in his abilities - because he knew better than anybody else that he just wasn't capable of competing with the best.

It wouldn't surprise me to hear that Audley got sparked badly in sparring early in his career, likely several times. I'm sure there's a story or two of that to come out. It would explain why the Olympic Gold medalist would fight a string of bums and bouncers and look like a dear in the headlights every time. It would explain why he fought with such extreme caution that he basically handed victories to physically inferior - but more determined - guys like a shot Williams, Guinn (previously beaten by fat Toney and Monte Barrett, and now a journeyman), Rogan (all heart no skill) and Sprott (Audley being the only notable fighter Sprott stopped in his entire career).

Maybe you are proud of doing it "your way" Audley, but that's like a clown wanting to be taken seriously as a performer.

Please tell me your Olympic Gold medalist or World Champion prizefighter?If not shut the **** up............Your opinion is null and void

I have been a big critic of Audley since day one and rightfully so but I can not fault him for his performance against Price.
He showed good head movement, real purpose for once and let his hands go a lot more than he has in many years actually. I do feel he was there to make a go of it this time and fought with purpose although briefly, he didn't have that terrified look on his face/in his eyes as usual, unfortunately for him he got clocked with a perfectly timed right hand.

Oh c'mon Audrey your best years are still ahead! It's not like you have been knocked out without throwing punches in your past fights...
