    Does Fraudley even have a fight scheduled?

    I have never seen a guy so big not only afraid to throw punches but afraid to take them as well.

    No motivation. No heart in the ring, fought like a sissy, had a glass jaw, didn't train rigorously, was overhyped early in his career, didn't take opponents seriously, got overpaid, etc. It was a vicious cycle from A-Farce.

    did excellent with that headguard on at the olympics but made the mistake fighting the wrong opponents under that million pound bbc contract, every other friday audley would be on there fighting some short bouncer, when really what he needed was to get use to the pro game and stand there with a durable journeymen who could give it and land on audley a bit for 12 rounds.

    it never happened and audley was fed bums and when he finally came up against a banger he froze!

    when he had that rematch with danny williams and sparked him in 3 rounds i thought maybe theres still a chance, great jab, height, odd combination thrown in well, then sprott dropped him like a sack of spuds and i lost interest.

    could be a good stepping stone for tyson fury maybe next year?

    Exactly, he does. Because he knows he can't take punches well and doesn't have a warrior's mentality.

    1. Scared to get hit
    2. No fighting instinct
    3. Too much money too soon from the BBC

    I think that covers it.

    Also he was never a true fighter, once the headgurds were removed he wanted out.

    No heart, no real ambition, not focused to be the best. Looked lazy in the ring a lot of the time like he was there just for the money and was contempt with having achieved a gold medal at the olympics, maybe if he won silver he may have had more ambition.
