    The whole prizefighter was set up for Audley to win anyway, Rogan admitted with a smile that he only entered it because he was told if he wanted to fight at the Oddysey on the Frampton card he would have to be in PF. Without him and Audley on Ringisde to get people talking the whole card would have been incredibly weak and pointless, even more so than it already was. I have to say I think Eddie Hearn rather conned his way through that one, he'll be glad to see that his rivals didn't exactly get a blinding result on their card either though.

    Whomever he fights next, it all depends on his state of mind. He's not too old for a heavyweight and looked in great condition Saturday. He has great skills, and he's a freak athletically and physically. If his mind is right, he has the tools to beat anyone.

    Why not try and get a fight with fury? It would be a decent payday as both fighters generate some interest with casual fans.

    Got to be Chisora. Both are as **** as each other and the press conferences would be entertaining

    Not the best reasoning IMO. So he went through with Prizefighter (without wanting to) in order to fight a Latvian in a 4 rounder way down on the undercard in his home town? :think

    All prizefighters are just a ******* version of the real thing, just like 20/20 or the Rubgy 7s. They attract casual fans but die-hards don't like it. I wouldn't take it seriously mate.

    Audley vs Chisora is the fight the fans want to see.

    More talking, more failure, wash, rinse, repeat.

    Eric esch? Battle of the short format kings!

    Audley could even form his own breakaway 20/20 style 3 round boxing championship...

    Chisora is a natural fight and would pay both of them well. Fury would be great but I can't see why Fury would take it given his current situation and plans. Helenius another option if it could be made.

    Price rematch is even a potential, what with Price coming off a loss of his own.

    If you saw him on Prizefighter and did not know who he was, you would probably be impressed. Great skills, size, physique as you say. The left hand is wicked, I'd like to see how some of the top heavyweights take his best left.

    Seems to fold, freeze in fights. For a big guy it's obvious he doesn't want to get hit, best defence against that is attacking.

    Should try and get a big fight, most of the Champions would think he's easy toast, but if he turns up in the right frame of mind, who knows.

    He should fight again in 6 weeks time and if he wins, then fight Derek Chisora.

    He's has got to really earn it, and make calculated moves/fights if he is ever going to achieve his goal.

    I don't have a ****ing clue why he keeps speaking of Tyson Fury! Tyson Fury is the wrong kind of style for Audley Harrison to face.

    Harrson vs Chisora should be his next big fight.

    But..? I don't think Derek Chisora would consider that fight.
