    Audley beat peter in the amateurs so he's capable of doing it again1 does not mean he will though.

    Harrison has that star quality about him.

    His size alone makes him a threat, he`ll sell way more tickets than skelton or any other brit heavyweight could do.

    To win the fight he`d have to train like hell and believe he has that "special" punch to take out peter. Skeltons chances would be much more slim pickings.

    Style, speed, accuracy - he would be outnumbered on all fronts and but for a resiliant chin and the fact its the heavyweights i would of given him slim to no chance.

    is this a joke seriously, ....
    and as far as his size goes it could make him a threat but he never wants to get close enought to use it as it may lead to him actually being involved in a FIGHT and we all know fruadley ddoes not want that
    he still very much has an amatuer style he would be more suited to something like fencing i think.
    there are a couple of things i dont get here though , i thought the voluntary defence rule stated the challenger had to be inside the top 10 in their rankings, also david haye said today on bbc2 i think it was that he was set to make an important announcment withtin the next ten days and the wbc have already said hell go in as a top 10 heavyeweight in their rankings

    it seems unlikley but maybe warren is not going to send harrison to his slaughter after all, and it could be his new prize signing that will fight peter

    Im talking in terms of the ability to sell a fight

    Nobody but nobody loathes how fraudley has gone about his pro career more than myself. The guy has been shown up on endless occasions to be a one trick pony that doesnt wanna get his hands dirty and has a chin as soft as a roll of tissue paper.

    But audley still has that ability to put bums on seats throughout the uk. Your average sports fan wont have a clue who matt skelton is, ask them who audley harrison is and they`ll tell you what he does for a living, looks like, even what division he fights in.

    However much we all hate harrison theres no denying that even after everything that has gone on he is still much more viable from a marketing perspective at a world title shot than any matt skelton, michael sprott or other british heavyweight around at the moment (barring haye)

    i get what you are trying to say with regards to him being known more than skelton

    however who in their right mind will pay to watch a harrison fight when the bloke obviously doesnt even like FIGHTING, hell make it a bore fest and ye people know what he looks like because they saw him get ktfo by sprott and his face bounce off the canvas

    also whoever it is it wont sell that well to the general public who are not hardcore fans as most will think samuel who ....? the only way fraudley helps sell this fight is if warren promotes it as pay 50 quid to watch big audrey get smashed to bits again

    the guys a bum and i may get slated for this but however a more viable opponent for peter in my opinion would be danny williams, he comes to fight i dare say more people know who he is and would be willing to pay to see him and having the name tyson on his record helps alot with pushing him to casual boxing fans

    You can't be serious ?? Audley still has his Amateur style where has Peter has evolved plus the Amateurs don't mean anything. Jorge Luis Gonzalez whooped Riddick Bowe in the Amateurs but when they met as pro's Bowe destroyed him, and Henry Tillman beat Tyson twice in the Amaturs but when they met as pro's Tyson destroyed him in 1 round.

    And as for your comment TysonBruno lay off the bottle. Harrison looked cautious against Jason Barnett who had 10 wins 4 KO's 6 losses, do you think he will let go with any offense against much strong better boxer who can punch ?? i think Harrison will literally run out of the ring in fear if he was that cautious against the tomato can Barnett.

    And this is also the same Harrison who bounced off the canvas like a beach ball when Michael Sprott flattened him and yes this is the same Sprott who every time has stepped up got flattened himself, the same Michael Sprott who fought like a big girl in his last fight, and even his trainer gave him a slap for his awful performance, the same Michael Sprott who is a Journeyman fighter at best.
