Am I Missing Somethin Or Is There Only 10 Fighters Better Than Him In The Heavyweights.

Opinions On Audley Please...... My Own Opinion Is That He (apart From Being Rediculously Boaring) Is Stalling His Career, Apparently To Make Sure Boxers Get A Fair Deal, This Seems Like Bull **** To Me, One Fighter Cant Do This, Is He Just Dodging Any Big Fights In Case He Looses ???? Or Does No One Want To Fight Him ???

I'm not sure if Boxrec rankings are genuine!? they go on a points system.

Audley is top 30 possibly top 20, he has talent but the UK alone has at least 4 heavys who are considered better than Harrison.

Well, They Seem To Make A Bit More Sense Of The Sittuation, I Wouldnt Put Him In My Top Twenty, He Needs To Proove Himself Against A Decent Opponent Maybe Somone Like Rahman, He Needs To Be Facing People Like That Within The Next Year, He Also Needs About 4 Fights In My Opinion

However This Wont Happen And In September Next Year He Will Be Saying That 2006 Will Be His Year, Just Like He Has Said About 2005 This Year.... However He Did Say In 2003 That 2004 Would Be His Year

I Just Think That He Is His Own Spin Doctor, Not Realisin That Even If He Eeps Hypin Himself Up, No One Will Take Him Seriously If He Doesnt Walk The Walk Aswell

**anthetamine** · 10-06-2004, 07:49 AM

He Might Be Rated 4th In The Uk, However I Personally Think He Is Better Than Anyone Else We Have

Danny Williams Is A Joke... Hopefully Vk Will Proove That

Over 12 Rounds Harrison Would Ko Williams !! Simple As That

**anthetamine** · 10-06-2004, 07:58 AM

ignore boxrec.com ratings, this subject has no real reference now, they have rid**** bowe in 7th, WTF !!!

I think Harrison is 5th in the UK rankings. Williams, Skelton, Hide and Sprott are all higher than Harrison.

I'd bet on all but Sprott to beat Harrison inside the distance.

Why do you want Klitchko to beat Williams?? I hope Williams whips him!!

**anthetamine** · 10-06-2004, 08:36 AM

i would love to see a british champion however i also think that VK is the only decent heavyweight out there, well decent enough to be called the champion, if danny williams beats him then i think it would make a bit of a joke of the heavyweight division, there are at least 10 heavyweights better than williams

what i mean is that if williams beats vk, then i wont be assured that the WBC champion is a top class boxer, like VK is

Have you been smoking mann!
Take the Tyson 'win' aside Williams is still better than audrey he's really poor, his best asset is that he's a southpaw and big!!!
Very little power, very weak inside fighter, and little fighting spirit, as soon as he faces a top 15 fighter i think he gets beat, and yes williams will get KO'd by big Klit, but at least we know Williams limitations ( a average domestic level fighter) Harrison hasn't even proven himself at that level yet!!!

**anthetamine** · 10-06-2004, 08:58 AM

good point i understand where you are coming from, however the fact you say harrison has no power, he may not but he controls the fights and hardly gets hurt, his southpaw advantage can not be brushed aside as every fight i have seen him have the other fighters struggle to break him down

i dont think he could k.o many if any top ten fighter but i do really think he will give them a lot of problems in beating him, he may be able to win on points

Audley Harrison Ranked #11 ????
