    true audley is a boxer although many who saw the haye fight will disagree as will the chiefs at bbc who cancelled all future boxing on the back of what he did or more accuratly didnt do when he was on bbc, this site has become inundated with harrison threads about thuis and that and its beyond a joke we have so many fighters like froch mitchell burns khan to be proud of yet yet people like you keep going back to the joke thats harrison,
    and as for you wanting him to do tv work why on earth would you want to listen to some whoose only experience in the pro game is to be a total and utter failure who the majority of the public have lost all respect for

    I consider Harrison to very knowledgeable about boxing. Most sports commentaters achived very little in their chosen sport:

    Andrew Hardcastle
    Sue Barker - French Open - that's it
    John Virgo
    Willie Thorne
    Andy Gray
    Chris Mason
    Alan Warriner-little
    Alan Smith

    All good but not the best

    Failed footballers - but top managers:

    Alex Ferguson
    Bob Paisley
    Arsene Wenger
    Jose Morinho
    Rafa Benitez

    Audley Harrison is well capable of becoming a commentator. You are judging the guy in the ring, but i'm judging the guy outside the ring

    You can buy canned potatoes, new potatoes.

    Anyway, Audley as a pundit, not for me I'm afraid.

    The problem with Audley Harrison becoming a pundit is the fact, even if he was commenting on Welterweight Fighter's, he'd somehow bring the commentary and argument back round to his career and why he should of been a World Champion.

    I remember after Haye had lost to Wladimir and on SSN they were talking to Audley on the phone, and somehow he turned the whole conversation round into his comeback

    Audley’s too egotistical to make a good pundit. Just look at the lesser Sky pundits – Nelson, Mcrory… they have very little of worth to add to debate. Look at the ones who achieved something: Mcguigan, Watt… all with good insight.

    Audley’s a domestic level fighter who struck lucky to get the Euro belt. He’s a disgrace as a fighter.

    “What he needs to do is stand still, flick out a piffling jab, then run backwards and cover at if the opponent looks like moving his hands.”

    If he says a fighter has to show more courage and let his hands go, I would love to see McGuigans face :shock:
