    It is a fairly well known fact that these two big fellas don't have much respect for each other, either as fighters on a personal level.

    Who would have won a fight between the two at their respective peaks - the Nelson that destroyed Carl Thompson in 1999 vs the Harrison that avenged his loss to Danny Williams?

    I'd be tempted to say Nelson by stoppage.....

    Deffo Nelson for me , maybe even by stoppage both are negative but at least Nelson has guts , Audley on the other hand is scared of his own shadow.

    And with Nelson being quicker , Audley wouldn't dare throw anything other than his patented pawing ( and I hesitate to even call it this ! ) jab

  4. Quite literally.

    Harrison's got no balls, Nelson has. An easy win for Nelson via a very wide points decision. I wouldn't rule out a late stoppage either, Harrsion's stamina wasn't great and his chin wasn't the best either.

    I'd actually pay to watch this fight now. Get Nelson out of the studio and he'd still beat Harrison. Then again, so would Dave Clarke and Jim Watt.

    Yep, It would be like Nelson v De Leon all over again, and neither of them would mind, either.

    Come on...there is a massive difference in size...Harrison would **** it in th e ring, but I fear he would lose badly in a pub scuffle
