Audley Harrison a poor man's Wlad klitschko?

Aside from that Mrs. Lincoln, How was the play ?

 

The first two, yes.

Wlad was bearting Lamon badly in the first fight before having one of the strangest fade outs I've ever seen in a fight. In the second fight he easily stopped Brewster. Wlad underestimated Sanders - a quick striking, hard hitting lefty - and paid for it. There's no doubt that in a second fight he'd adjust and most likely win. The Purity fight was ages ago - Wlad was green and Ross was a tough veteran.

Wlad's resume is in a different league from Audley's - you can't disagree unless you're in some fantasy world. IMO Harrison has been an underachiever. I don't know why, :huh I'm not his shrink.

I know Wlad haters or Haye huggers are going to get a woody if DH beats AH. So the main question is - does Harrison have a legit chance vs Haye? If DH struggles or loses to AH, he has been right to run from Wlad

 

:deal

People are forgetting just how bad Wlads chin is. Hes learned to box with it now with superior defence and using his jab and height well. But that doesn't take away from the fact he has a **** chin

 

No1 has said anything about resume's! Its about chins! and getting Ko'd three times by the likes of Brewster Sanders and Purity is bad. WORSE than getting flattened by a perfect punch from Sprott

 

THANK YOU....finally someone with a brain

if you go back you'll realise that someone was comparing chins at some point...and my whole point was that audley has been knocked out once....by a huge punch....

where as klitschko has been stopped 3 times, floored countless times, and rocked a hell of a lot more.....and dont go on about resumes....audley's resume isnt that great, thats a point taken, but i hate all these imbeciles making out wlad is sum kind of ATG that has fought awesome opposition

 

This is HW fight! U can't take any foe lightly!
One punch could end it!
Go fraudley!!! War bro!!

 

I see, Sprotts KO of AH was a "perfectly timed" punch. Love the unbaised analysis :roll:

So basically since Haye is china chinned most on here think that Audley, never mind Wlad, can stop DH. OK :yep

 

Audley could always go for it and try to test Hayes chin in the first couple of rounds. He has the power if he really lets his hands go but i am certain he will try and jab his way around the ring for most of the fight hoping he don't get ko'd and just trying to make it until the final bell.

 

i dont think he can, but i sure as hell hope he can.

and hell yes wlad can stop haye.

 

I am not sure why you are so obsessed with the idea that the style of boxing between Audley and Wlad is similar? Sorry, there are zero similarities.

The fact that you list "predominant use of jab" is quite revealing. Doesn't that apply to any boxer in history? So is Audley's style also very similar to Lennox Lewis, Larry Holmes and Frank Bruno because because those fighters relied setting up their gameplan with the jab? Upon closer inspection your argument is downright ridiculous.

Here are some key differences IMO:

- Under Steward Wlad has developed an excellent sense of controlling range, thanks to his foot work. Audley has no foot work at all. He is completely helpless when his opponent closes in on him, no lateral movement whatsoever.
- Wlad punches a deadly left hook, can hook off the jab. Audley is entirely incapable of combining right jab and hook.
- Wlad delivers his straight right only after its set up with the jab, or after blinding his opponent with the pawing left hand stretched out. Audley doesn't set up his shots at all. He tries big single lookping hands which are easy to see and block.
- Audley fights a lot in the half-distance in a crouched position, while leaning forward, exposing his chin while leaving himself wide open. Wlad boxes nothing like that (anymore).

In short, there is absolutely nothing in Audley's style that reminds one of Wlad. Are both of their chins questionable? Yes, sure. Can they knock out an opponent with a single hand? Sure. But that does not mean their boxing style bears any similarity whatsoever.

This thread is an epic fail and simply displays a lack of boxing knowledge of the thread starter.

 

that was a bit ruthless, you could just said "no he is not a poormans wlad"

 

atsch

Wlad's been stopped by KNOWN power-punchers, and he was NEVER knocked unconscious.

Fraudley? He was laid out COLD by a journeyman with a sub-.500 knockout percentage. Compared to A-Farce, Wlad has a rock solid chin.

Read above. Wlad did NOT get "knocked the hell out." Glass-jawed joke Fraudley did. And yeah, there's a big difference between Sanders, Brewster, and Purrity and Michael Sprott. All three of those guys hit WAY harder. Yet Harrison got knocked out a LOT worse. It's doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out who has the worse chin here. I can't even believe anybody would debate this.

Fraudley is gonna get DESTROYED by Haye, knocked out cold again. Bet the FARM on it.
