Deontay Wilder makes offer to Audley to fight on Khan-Diaz card

Harrison would fold like a lawn chair inside of one. Wilder should go after the UK's newest fraud, David Price and finish him.

As oppose to fighting another American or Mexican Heavyweight, because they've lit up the Heavyweight scene over the last 10 years also.

I would take both the American top heavyweight prospect (Wilder) and the Mexican top heavyweight prospect (Andy Ruiz) over David Price

Even though Wilder hasn't stepped up in 27 fights and his 28th fight is rumoured to be a guy Price stopped in 1 round in his 14th fight?

I do like Ruiz though, I think he is being brought along nicely but they could step it up a little this year. Wilder couldnt be more protected right now.

If anything, Price tried to step up his level of competition and stumbled. Wlad did the same thing and look where he is now, regardless of the shitty state of the division in general. When Wilder fights someone remotely resembling a live opponent, then he can talk. But not too much.... he still has a resume full of bums.

What Price or Prices team did was stupid. Read back in my posts and I said this before Prices last fight.

They went from bringing british journeyman out of retirement to fighting someone who had not long ago challenged for the heavyweight title a second time.

It was a ridiculous jump in class. He never got to fight some tougher journeymen inbetween to face some adversity and learn how to deal with it.

In contrast, for as much shit as Fury gets he has been brought along perfectly. He has given a few fighters their first loss, faced unknown imports which can be dangerous and now ex title challengers. He has been progressed well and learnt a few things the hard way.

Harrison has taken the fight, or says he wants it. As always I hope he does well and he deffinitly has the tools to do the job on someone as untested as Wilder who I think is yet to go in to the 4th round?

You may say "well Audley will be lucky to last that long" but what im getting at is for a pro of nearly 30 fights he is yet to learn to pace himself and fights stiff and tense like a novice still.

Stupid or not, I'd rather have a heavyweight test the waters a bit prematurely, than have him bloating his record until Judgement Day, ala Wilder. How many more bums are we supposed to accept on his belt before he fights someone with a pulse? I thought only the Cesar Chavez family did that. Price is not permanently out of the HW picture. He will be back, hopefully with lesson learned. Besides, it's easy to build up Thompson now, that he KO'ed Price. But how many props was he being given before the fight? Hindsight is 20/20, as they say. Thompson was a twice-beaten Wlad reject, and he'll be nothing but a gatekeeper from here on out.

Smeone who was in the same camp as Audley and Wilder recently saw Audley drop Wilder twice apparently.
