    I lived through the Audley hype - and disappointment - in real time. His career showed his level - British and European at best. And ultimately got blitzed in an undeserved title shot (to a beltholder, not actually the recognised number one). He would be at the same level today. To compare him to AJ is really not fair, IMO.

    Seriously. Joshua - at any point in his career - would blow this clown away in a round or two, tops.

    Harrison would be sparked by pretty much anyone. He never threw punches FFS.

    Indeed. Joshua is clearly levels above, whatever you think of him.

    Who the hell did Audley beat that was on the level of AJ? Dubois would have smashed Audley in the first round, his world title fight record was 0-1, compare that to AJ`s.

    I don't know who I'd favour if Audley was in form like the night he smashed Williams

    I think he could chin the bodybuilder
    They are both rubbish

    Whilst Lennox Lewis has a much better resume than AH and was the better fighter, in terms of punch resistance and in particular susceptibility to being laid out cold by one shot from a dosser resistance, they're very similar

    One thing's for sure is both of them would've been sparked out cold on their backs and taken a long, deep refreshing snooze by the right hand which Dubois dropped AJ with in round one, let alone be able to stand up to the rest of the bombs Dubois detonated on him

    Funnily enough, I actually sent this one down to the lab just the other week for some rigorous analysis and even I, one of the world's most esteemed chin scientists, was surprised by the results when they came back in

    If you put Lewis in a ring with any legit puncher twice there's a 100% chance they one punch iron him out cold at least once

    AH might get ironed out cold twice but in four combined fights the fans would be treated to at least three devastating one punch HL reel KOs of British former Olympic SHW champions

    Chris Lovejoy knocks him out in 4 in front of a sold out York Hall.

    That's probably the best case when I think of possible Audley Harrison scenarios.
