Audley Harrisons chin will be the big test to how far he will go in my opinion. I have this awful feeling that his chin won't be up to much but i truely hope i'm wrong. He isn't anything exceptional but he does seen to have power and basic boxing skills. I just think he needs more time to fully improve although he isn't exactly a spring-chicken so he cannot hang around at domestic level for too long. I think Danny Williams is by far the better fighter at the moment between the two but that could soon change if Audley gets bigger experience under his belt.
Audley Harrison Ranked #11 ????

He hardly gets hurt because he's fighting bums, If he beats a top 15 fighter well i'll put my hands up and say fair play, but i truly belive he can't, yes he has some skills, but won't be able to box with authority with men who will walk through his shots, and defensively he is weak also, of course being a southpaw helps but his defence is that bad i don't think it'll make much difference, he should be feasting on men like Monte Barret, Joe Mesi, TOS, Jirov, these are fighters who we know the limits of and if Audrey is going to go further up the rankings (or in my eyes break them) then he needs to be fighting these typse of fighters now, but he's too trashed to mix it with the top 5 british heavys never mind the world!!!Comment

well then do we all at least agree to give him this next year to proove himself he needs to be fighting a top 15 fighter within the nest 9 month at least for him to get any credibility
anyone agreeComment

I'd say by this time next year he should have fought at least 3 names, remember also he's getting older and won't improve alot, but hopefully in that time limit we will know how he's shaping upComment

I think by this time next year he should have at least fought a Michael Grant or a Oleg Maskaev. Top 15 can sound very elite but then when you look at the fighters you think, hmmmmm it isn't that elite after all.

Very good points wez, we say top 15 but even that is giving him some leeway because it's such a weak division, i'd put baby klit about 11 or 12Comment

It is a very weak division. What happened to all the intimidating fighters out there? I find it very hard to take most heavyweights seriously these days to be honest. People insult James Toney but at least he brings excitement to this boring tiresome division. I know the odds are against Danny this December but i really hope he beats Vitali so much. It's just what the heavyweight division needs to shake things up. If none of the champions are going to unify the titles then we need someone to knock them off there pedestals. As for Wladimir i have no idea where to rate him, although by the time Audley comes close to fighting someone like him he may have lost 6 fights by then.

he looks a good boxer but seems to get real lazy in the ring,i think he can beat sprott skelton and williams,thats if he does what hes meant to do and start upping his classComment

I think he will beat Sprott and i think he will beat Skelton but i think Danny will be his nemesis is they ever meet. Audley has bad mouthed Danny alot and i think Danny will do everything in his power to make sure he never loses that fight.Originally posted by chilly9876he looks a good boxer but seems to get real lazy in the ring,i think he can beat sprott skelton and williams,thats if he does what hes meant to do and start upping his classComment
