    All the best to him, Ridiculed by many but for me i have a lot of respect for what he achieved and where he came from and his constant although delusional belief that he could win a world title late into career.

    In a way it was inspiring to see someone never give up on there dreams. He just didn't have what it took but he tried. People can say he was bottleless but at end of the day he fought some good fighters so he has my respect for getting in there and trying. The pro game just wasn't for him but still managed to win a few titles along the way.

    No more tilting at windmills, then.

    There are plenty of poor points in Audley's career.

    But I'll mention the good ones. Watching him winning the gold medal, of course. The decent slug with Bonin. The second Williams fight. The punch that took out Sprott in their second fight.

    For those things, thanks Audley. Have a good retirement.

    I have to respect anyone that takes all that ridicule, some undeserved, and keeps going until the bitter end. British and European Champion, & Olympic Gold Medalist, financial security - the man has achieved more than 99.9% of his critics could dream of. Good luck to him, I say.

    I get his spirit and determination and how those speeches he gives can motivate people, but from a purely boxing stand point, the majority of his career is all talk.

    He could be viewed as inspirational, or completely full of **** and still getting paid for it. Congrats on your achievements in the olympics and the Sprott ko, but the for rest of it, you could be called a conman

    What an enigma

    Whats he doing?

    He still got plenty left in the tank!

    Even he said he was just feeling it, was he pushing himself to much? Was he straining?

    What about "REDEMPTION 2014" ??? What about "DESTINY" ???

    You can't go Audley..... :|:|:|

    If this is the end. Thank you Audley. Thanks for the memories. Thanks for fooling this zombie nation :tired

    I'm sure you will continue to do so. Wherever you go from here you will be a unrivaled success, never give up on your hopes dreams and aspirations. Setbacks pave the way for comebacks.

    Sack all of those at Sky and put Audley as the head of boxing on Sky Sports. Get him commentating and doing punditry, nobody talks a game like Audley.

    Better still! Start up a political party "The Redemption Party Crew"

    AUDLEY FOR PRIME MINISTER 2014! :deal VOTE NOW! :deal

    "Never giving up" is all very well, but Audley completely failed to turn up too many times to be given much credit.
