Is Audrey Harrison mentally ill?

I'm guessing he is more successful in what he does than you are at what you do.

So he doesn't end up winning a world championship, it makes him delusional for believing in himself? Really?

I guess Mike Weaver should have given up. Knocked out 3 times in his first 8 fights, started 4-4. And he was too mentally defiicient to quit. He was 21-9 when he won the heavyweight championship of the world.

Floyd Patterson got crushed beaten nearly to death by Ingo, knocked down 7 tmes in one round before being stopped -- guess he was insane to take the rematch (which he won). Then he got knocked out TWICE in the first round by Sonny Liston, so he should have been locked in a padded cell for coming back from that humiliation to contend again.

Freddie Pendleton started his career 16-13-3. What kind of nutjob keeps fighting after that? A future world champion, that's what kind.

You probably didn't ever participate in sport, lest some coach surely would have told you that quitters never win and winners never quit.

I guess everyone who doesn't achieve being best in the world is a failure by your standard -- which, I am certain, makes you a failure. Please quit your job tomorrow, if you have one -- you are humiliating yourself and making a mockery of your entire family.

The rest of us, I guess, will just go on trying, delusional though we surely are.

 

i guess u get a little deluded sometimes by smoking a little.

 

but u know.everybody has the right to be the way they are. we are who we are.thats just how it is

 

Did you actually just compare Floyd Patterson to Audley Harrison? Seriously? WOW haha

The difference is Audley is 40, glass chinned, and has no skills. End of story. Hes not at the start of his career and has a chance. His career is done.

 

Audley's a sound bloke.

I worry about the mans health.

 

no. just too nice at times

 

I believe him.

I did compare Audley Harrison to Floyd Patterson -- not in ability, but in attitude to keep trying.

Yes, the OP can sit in his basement and pass judgment on someone who is atually trying to make something of his career -- unless I missed something, Audley just won that prizefighter tournament. I guess he should have quit instead of actually going out and, you know, trying.

Read the original post on this thread and look up sanctimonious. It fits the very definition.

As I said, Audley may never, probably WILL never, win a world championship. Should every non-champion quit? Is there not a place in boxing for someone who isn't quite championship material who believes in himself despite all odds, who keeps trying?

Hell, on the undercard of the prizefighter tournament some Olympic prospect beat a guy who has a career record with like 100-plus losses -- and you think Audley is the delusional one?

 

The reason to worry about Audley is that his zealot-like belief in his own destiny outside the ring is completely at odds with his rabbit-caught-in-the-headlights schtick inside it.

We've been here so many times before, and he really needs some quality people around him to tell him enough is enough and that he is never going to progress beyond a good domestic level pro. It isn't the profession to keep on chasing rainbows - every time he steps above his level he is going to get knocked out and humiliated. If he stayed at his level (eg prizefighter) it may be more advisable, but he will always talk himself into fights where he stands no chance of winning.

I don't begrudge Audley the chance to earn a living, but he's a charismatic, intelligent guy who could probably be successful at most things he turned his hands to without endangering his health. We've all had our fill of Schadenfreude at his expense; I think a lot of people now though have seen enough.

 

He's a good snake oil salesman, Audley, could shift sand to the Arabs.

 

That is called standard padding.

Do you think the fighter was fully responsible for his opponent?

 

No, I think someone who is still fighting professionally after 100 losses is a better candidate for the looney bin than Audley. I wasn't talking about the guy who beat the career punching bag, but putting his sanity up for comparison to Harrison's.
