    You walk down a UK high street and ask 100 people if they have heard of either....

    Who is the most well known?

    I wouldn't be surprised if Wilder wants Harrison II for his next fight after Stifferne II

    I wouldn't know the answer to your question but I'm guessing Wilder because he is America.

    Harrison is more well known and more respected. Why? Because Harrison has, at least, fought a legit fighter even if he did lose.......................Wilder is a coward, he will not fight anyone who can fight back. If Wilder's opponent is a threat, he will be framed, just like Povetkin and Ortiz.............

    I figure almost everyone in the UK knows Audley (or at least know him as Fraudley).
    Although Wilder windmilled Audley into submission, he was once the hope of an entire nation, failing miserably in legendary fashion. Wilder himself is nothing more as a beltholder from the US with very little exposure, so quite the unfair comparison.

    edit: people tend to even remember their failing countrymen more as the opponents they failed against.

    FRauds simply jumped onto the floor to prevent getting hit whenever he was facing someone semi-good, thats not really testing yourself.

    I swear he must have literally "practiced getting knocked out" in the gym for years to perfect that technique.

    Nobody knows who wilder is in the UK. Actually most would not know Wilder if he walks around in NY.

    Audley much more well known over here. Not always for good reasons, mind you.

    Audley is far more well known. Most people wouldn't have a clue who Wilder is, if they saw him as were asked which American sports person they were they'd probably think he was LeBron or Kobe lol.

    Yeah, and people know Fraudley A-Farce Harrison? LOL

    They wouldn't know his ass if he walked in England.
