    I think he should hire a world class trainer and go from there.
    Retiring would be a little drastic right now.And feeding on
    journeymen would do no good.As soon as he stepped up again
    the same thing would happen.

      dude ur fraudley got exposed and ur still pissed. he will always be the same no matter how many trainer he changes.

      yYour crazy man, thers just no way in hell that was a clear cut decision for williams...i thought it was skeletons fight, could have maybe seen a draw but thats it. I dont understand you MMA point either...skeleton has been going through extreme pyhsical labor all his life and is still fighting at 39! Your really not even making sense.
      and changing your trainer makes a HUGE difference!
      Dont you know anything about boxing?

          Yes it makes difference with younger fighters (lets say like jeff lacy) but u cant teach new tricks to an old pony.

            i picked retire but then read about fighting journeymen and stepping up in class as hes confidence grows and that sounds like a good idea cause audley aint just a random bum who cant fight he is a very talented fighter and if he had half the heart lennox lewis had hed be a current world champion
            if managed by a experienced promoter theres still top doller to be made in the us and if marketed right here in the uk he could be a respectable box office fighter

              .....I saw that fight from my hotel room at Hard Rock in Orlando and thought it wasn't bad at all. I had totally forgotten that it was on and then turned on the TV right as it was starting. At times, when both guys let their hands go it was very exciting. I thought Guinn won but it didn't seem as wide as the judges had it. Audley is a mystery for sure. Who knows with that guy? Why not keep fighting? Seems like people either love him or hate(mostly) him so at least they will tune in to see him get beat.

                now it is which sucks but I think you have a good point.

                  I still think he has some marketability. His problems are lack of motivation more than anything else. I heard that during the Danny Williams fight, he had Danny hurt, but didn't follow up on it. If he fought Dominic Guinn like he did for the last minute of the 10th round for the entire fight, it would have been clearer on where he stands as a HW. He still has the tools to be a great HW, but seems to lack the spark that he needs to get there.

                    I am pissed off with him because hes a ****ing disappointment recently but seriously he was self managed which was ******, he needed a team, if joined with frank warren he would have been a solid contender, If he gets a good promoter and a trainer like Emanuel Steward he has a chance. Hell we though Shannon Briggs was over, look he rebuild himseld against Journeyman and slowly hes stepping up the level as his confidence is increasing.
                    very good point about harrison and briggs but one thing well a couple, Briggs has one punch power, and two he has made good money outside of the ring. Audly does have charisma like shannon but he needs to worry about fighting and winning. Also Briggs has always in his long career a good fighter Lewis knocked him back to reality and he had to realize that his natural talent could only take him so far. Harrison is the same way. Briggs is a much better than ever because he really wants to be a fighter. This may sound gay but he has fought the best journey men avalable. Harrison made two real good matchups then failed to show up to the fight. Briggs is getting to the end of what his mouth can do he needs to fight a solid top 20 fighter and then fight higher if not he is just takeing peoples money like a butterbean
