    Doing a trip down memory lane and watching the build-up to this fight; with commentary from Mike Tyson, Lennox Lewis and Frank Bruno.

    And watching that fight was painful. Here's the thing I don't get, what the hell happened to Audley's BASICS?

    When he was hit, why didn't he clinch? It's the obvious thing to do, and with those long arms of his, he could do it. Lewis did this; Tyson Fury does it; both the Klitschko's do it, etc.

    Moreover, WHY did he throw only one punch? He's stronger than Haye. He should have been pushing Haye around and fighting inside.

    I know it's easy to make fun of Harrison, but I want to some serious discussion about this.

    Fraudley has a very fragile mandible. Trying to implement the delaying tactics you talk about would have only delayed his inevitable appointment with the canvas. :nod

    No he should have been looking to fight on the outside, getting the jab going and try and get his combinations off that way, not as you say 'pushing Haye around and fighting inside', that's he complete wrong thing for him to do. Haye was the one that wanted and needed to fight inside but even from the outside Haye would have been too quick and got inside and outside easily enough. The facts are that Audley was never good enough to compete with Haye, regardless of what people want to say about Haye, he was a world class fighter and Audley just wasn't.

    To be honest with you, there doesn't seem to be much point posting about Audley H. Three days ago, you started a thread about AH, eighteen posts later, you never came back to anyone on their views.
    Not being funny with you dude, as you seem like a genuine poster.

    A Farce has a glass jaw, and when he gets hit, he goes into a massive panic and freezes like Bruno used to. Bruno though could take a moderate single shot and fight on. A Farce cannot. And that is why Bruno was WBC champion and why A Farce was only ever the WBF champion

    That is about as to the point as it gets

    If Ricky Hatton broke the world record of 1000 punches thrown and one punch landed..

    Did he only throw one punch?

    Well some people don't credit the Sprott II injury in the Sprott II fight.

    He carried an injury into the Guinn fight.. I thought he still won the fights.. had to wait for rematch against Williams though.
