Peter to defend against either Skelton or Fraudley on July 12

[Tysonbruno]

Audley could be very dangerous for Peter at 6ft 5 or 6 he could cause him trouble like Jameel did im going to go for definate if its Audley he is fighting.C'mon Audley im behind you to the end

[Violent Demise]

I think Peter beats both on the same night.

[BIG H]

I think Peter beats both on the same night.

and still doesn't have to fight more than 3 rounds

[piye]

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

Mate - what happend in the amateurs means nothing now

[OumaFan]

Skelton, Audley, Donnell Holmes, Carl Davis Drummond, or JD Chapman?

I understand the concept of a stay busy fight but that's stretching it a bit.

[piye]

I know what you mean but it wasnt that long ago for Audley and peter!

[ICB]

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.

[HattonTheHammer]

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.

The problem with Audley is he was given a great talent and great height and physic but they missed the gap between his ears and the one between his ribs. If you watch him (The occasional few seconds of a fight) when he comes forward and is confident he puts his combinations together well and he hits hard, the left uppercut especially is a deadly shot. When facing a puncher like Peter (Who although is very limited) he will be so scared to get hit he will run for the whole fight and never show any of that ability. If he uses that height and keeps his work rate up there is a tiny chance of a big shock but if Peter connects it will be goodbye Audley. I agree with the statement he will be the worst World Champion of all time if he wins.

In regard to Skelton he took to boxing very late after a career in MMA, and his boxing ability is very limited, he tries to make up for this through sheer toughness, and using his size and strength to the max. He is awful to watch it is similar to watching a big bear fight. He will do his all to maul Peter and it will be a terrible fight to watch, it will probably go the distance but I think Skelton has very little chance of winning the fight, once again if he did win he would be in line to also be one of the worst champions.

More evidence of this is the man Frank Warren carries all of his decent fighters Hatton, Calzaghe etc, to throw Audley and Skelton into a fight they don't really have a chance in just shows his lack of confidence in his own fighters and he is just looking to make a few $ off them.

It was 2000 when audley beat Peter just before the olympics not long ago at all.

[BoomBoom]

What a joke. His team cried to everyone that he deserved his WBC title shot after beating Toney in the eliminator and wanted an immidiateshot at then WBC champ Maskaev. Now Ruiz wins the WBC title eliminator and hes not next in line for a shot at Peter? I dont like Ruiz but hes more deserving than Skelton or Harrison.

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)
