    I don't mean people who hate Haye, and so want Audley to win his next fight.

    I mean people who actually like him and his boxing style and want to see him suceed for no other reason.

    Yes, from now until November 13 I'm his fan. And might he pull it of I probably be his fan for a long, long time.
    If he can save the division from Haye I'll support him all the way!

    it depends what you mean by the word "fan"

    i am a fan of english boxers period. i am as much a fan of audley as i am of munroe, booth, rhodes, matthew hatton etc.

    i am still a fan of haye in the way that i would want to win any non-english fighter. but he is a dickhead and clearly a *****. that being said if he ever does man up and fight a klitschko/povetkin/chagaev/adamek etc.. i will hope he wins.

    but i think you mean fan as in "one of your favourite fighters" in which case, no he isnt.

    but like most i will be specifically hoping he wins his next fight.

    Im a fan cause he hasnt stopped trying. Im NOT a fan because of his 'boxing skills' in any way, I dont get why a guy with his attributes doesnt use them or make advantage of them, espiecilly being an Olympic champion.

    The enemy of my enemy is my friend. Only because people want him to KO Haye. Apart from that i doubt he has actual loyal fans

    Yes, i believe he probably has one of the biggest closet fanbases in boxing. I supported him through the olympics, and through his BBC deal and have only ever wanted him to lose against Danny Williams. Of course the talk was / is annoying but with his prizefighter comeback and win over Sprott i think he has earned some of the respect he lost during his whiney phase.

    I'm surprised people hate the A-Bomb less than Haye. Remember how much he talked about taking over the division and being the champ when he started. That wasn't even the weak division of today. This was when Lennox was still fighting and all today's over the hill bums were still prime challengers.

    Audley has also called out the Kiltschkos many times and said he will beat them and unify the division.

    Him and Haye are shockingly similar in that respect.

    yes but audley tried, he did eventually go over to america, but he lost. he then tried fighting the best domestic opponent, and lost. he then tried his comeback on live tv, and lost. he then tried unbeaten prive fighter winner on live tv, and lost.

    he then tried privefighter, and won, he then tried european level, and won. he is now trying world level. i genuinely believe if he beats haye he will try to take on the klits. audley wants to rise to the top, he just isnt good enough.

    haye is good enough but just doesnt want to.

    that is why people hate haye more than audley.

    I've wondered the same thing myself. A large portion of the UK fight fans say they want to see this fight to witness Harrison destruction. My question to you would be why? Harrison is a nothing fighter. He's never been relevant because he's never beaten a top fighter. Why is it so important to get rid of an irrelevant 38 year old fighter?

    He tried?!?!? Really? I can't agree. I've never see a guy who tries less in the ring. He talked a lot outside it, never backed it up inside. Remember, he faught a lot of fights being thoroughly inactive and looking scared.

    He only went to the US cos the BBC deal ended and the UK lost interest in seeing him fight overmatched bums.

    I'm not a big Haye fan but he won his first world title fast and with none of the backing Audley had.

    I will support Audley because as stated earlir he hasn't given up, he fronts up to the masses who detest him and believes in himself...we are all human- i give him credit for his tanasity.
    He does pocess a left hand that if catches Haye can spark him clean out...the trouble is is it fast enough to land.
    I will put £20 on him and cheer him on.
    Do u really think after this fight Haye will fight a Klit?? Harrison would.
