I am sure the fans will warm to him if he starts to prove himself at a higher level.

That old Olympic medal just doesn't seem to cut the mustard in terms of mixing it I suppose....That must really be the legacy of Audley Harrison for boxing in the UK, making people doubt the quality required to win Olympic gold.

Just like other unpopular fighters, success can overcome where their attitude can grate with some people, although I'm not convinced that he's not been somewhat misrepresented in his portrayal in the media.

well the amateurs aren't the pro ranks and I repeat to say you will be world champion and you're better than the other ex-olympians before you've had your first pro fight is a tad premature on the whole folks in the UK don't like that attitude regardless of a persons ability.

If he proves to be quality then good on him, just keep your mouth shut.
