http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/ot...-despite-title-fight-loss-to-David-Price.html Seriously the man still thinks he's gonna come back from this
Headline and Audley's comments don't add up, where is he refusing to retire? If anything, his comments about father time catching up and saying if this is it then....say he will seriously be thinking about it. I'm sure in the back of his mind he knows he's done, his heart may want him to continue but I think he has smelt the coffee now. The guy has fought through adversity for much of his career, yes he screwed the BBC, but the BBC themselves can't be blameless, everyone was caught up in the olympic hype off the gold medal win, they really didn't think it through properly so can't blame Audley for everything. He's lost his brother, got brutally knocked out by Sprott, came back and beat him with a busted arm, fell well short against Haye, but has been Euro champ. Go easy on him guys, he gave it his best, and didn't deliver. At least he stepped in there and gave it a go.
I hope he does hang em up, he's just never going to reach the heights he wants too. He's been knocked out cold twice, taken a beating off Haye and been in a few tough fights, you have to worry a bout his health if he decides to keep boxing.
This Audley "screwed the BBC" nonsense has to stop. What male licence payer wasn't happy to see the Olympic super heavyweight champ brought to terrestrial tv on a 15 fight contract for only a million quid? It was practically peanuts really. They landed a superstar on a long term deal for only a million, the BBC got a great deal and the audience were happy with some 6m viewers watching his debut. Look at the huge sums the BBC pays for other 'sports' like F1, The boat race, tennis, bowls and that type of shite that no man in the Country gives a **** about. Look at the state of the cultural marxist BBC now. They have practically nothing on to cater for the hetrosexual male, yet here on a boxing forum we have clowns complaining that they once actually showed boxing featuring the biggest star from the previous Olympics. :-(
Hope he retires. Its not nice to see people get hurt, especially as he is a heavyweight and them ****ers hit hard
Olympic Gold, British and European Champion. That's a good career. Naseem Hamed was right when he said British sports fans always want more, if someone has achieved something, they don't celebrate that fact, they just demand more and when the sportsmen doesn't make it, they ignore what they did achieve and focus on what they didn't. Frankly, some of the attitudes towards Audley Harrison are pathetic.
