That is the fraud coming out of retirement thread though haha!

I think he should go for a Wilder rematch. The ring walks were pretty close.

Audley was a good amateur who never made the real transition to world class pro.

On the positives:

- it is mainly down to him that funding has been poured into British amateur boxing, so our recent amateur successes are directly attributable to him as a gold medallist
- he had good physical strengths, tall, big and strong. He always trained well and never turned up unfit
- good southpaw technical boxer, used his reach and his height well
- he could bang when he wanted to
- Ive never heard anybody criticise him for his personal life, or who has said he's an unpleasant guy

On the negatives:

- the competition was not very strong when he won his gold medal, to be fair
- he stayed an amateur for too long, so he boxed like an amateur (a bit like a fencer, accumulating points under 'stop/start' rules. He wasn't able to change his habits and style to make the pro transition
- he was the most hyped british fighter ive seen (and that's saying something). He signed a million pound TV deal for his debut! People resent that a bit
- Audley never showed the heart and soul of a true fighter. There's nothing wrong with that, but he never went into the trenches and gutted through a tough fight. He never really trusted his chin, probably quite rightly since he has been banged out a few times. However, this was a big criticism levelled at Lennox Lewis too.

I also think it's a shame he has unretired, he won't be a world champion and I hope that he just wants to have a couple more lower level fights and then bow out with a win. He is an old man for a fighter and I wouldn't like to see him get hurt, after all

i think he'll win a world title this time

I was hoping this was about Mars_ax coming back to Saddo. Where are you and what are you doing?
Come on, amigo, let's watch some fights together!

That would have been more interesting but Green chased him away.

I had no idea that having a newborn child improves your glass chin .
Maybe Khan and Fury should have lots of kids to.

I guess he feels he's still got a lot of things left to accomplish in boxing.











He's yet to be knocked OUT of a ring.
He's yet to do a faceplant in the ring.
He's yet to be knocked out in Round 2.

[DavilaJones]

I guess he's the butterbean of this generation. A freakshow novelty.

[beenKOed]

I'm starting to feel sorry for the guy, he sure isn't getting good vibrations from SaddoBoxing, in my opinion. LOL

[Violent Demise]

Great news. Seeing Harrison get knocked out just doesn't get old
