    Well it's been reported that Harrison is looking to make yet another comeback as he has been calling out Chisora.

    I know the majority of you guys hate the guy and believe he doesn't have the talent to contend with decent fighters let alone put up a good fight.

    The problem is the guy is a great promoter and his mouth has landed him millions of pounds as he just seems to sell.

    After getting KO'd 1st round by Price and Wilder and in the 3rd by Haye (in which he only i think threw one punch) has he now lost all marketability?

    Are we as a public stupid enough to believe him and pay to watch him if he makes a return to the ring?

    It's 14 years since he won gold. Anything he had (if he ever had anything) has diminished so much by age alone that it makes fighting on pointless.

    I think ****** wants to build the fury/chisora rematch up a little bit more before he puts them in together again and why not?

    Stick chisora in with Harrison and fury in with Thompson, it'll sell!

    Looks as if Chisora will fight Povetkin in Moscow next. I doubt if
    Chisora can win such a fight, so it might kill the Fury rematch, which I expect Fury to win if it happens...........

    Haha. I'm amazed that Audley still has advocates. It's not even funny watching him get starched anymore.

    Thompson is way too much risk for Fury. I think Thompson will KO Fury at this stage. Let him fight Michael Sprott, Richard Towers or Travis Kauffman.

    the guy has probably just worked out that he needs money to retire on/grow old on, and he aint gonna get a good job outside the ring to do that, so he just keeps coming back for another 1 round ko.

    Harrison is not a real man, hes just part of the Benefits Street generation.

    well they can gain strength (via muscle and weight), but the rate of recovery from wear and tear decreases after 30, and the lung power fades across 30something years a good deal, and reflexes fade gradually after the age of 18 anyway, whatever you do. I guess theres wisdom, that always grows.

    so they can grow in some ways, but not others - its still definitely better to try to achieve the titles before you pass 30.
