    Floyd Blocks and dodges punches, while returning with devestating counter offence.

    Audley runs away and throws no counters.

    He had a massive ego and no heart. I remember when he turned pro, before he had fought even one fight he had already set up his own promotion company and declared that he "didnt need to fight any british heavyweights as he was above their level already" (I cant remember the exact quote but it was something like that). Arrogant to the max

    he has over achieved when you consider he is a boxer who cant box or a fighter who can t fight and promoter who cant promote , to consider he has made a living out the game for a decade despite all those failing you have to say he has done extremly well and infact has over achieved

    How dare you? World Heavyweight Champion, European Champion and Olympic Champion is underachieving????? Audley will shut you all up when he knocks out Price, then Fury and then Wlad in 2013 at Wembley.

    As a pro Audley is a huge disappointment. He fights like he's scared shitless and he talks so much bollocks. Should have stayed amateur.

    Our Frankie needs to sort his career out if he doesn't want to end up on this list too.

    I like audley and hope he wins the fight against Price. You'd have to say he has underachieved. Why? Because his level of achievement has to be set against the level of expectation - a level Audley himself encouraged - around what he would achieve.

    He didn't hit those heights, and worse, has turned in some shocking performances over years as well as some decent ones. He is not really a fighter but is a boxer who likes to work behind an outstretched arm. Or "jab" as he calls it. This has always made audley a pretty boring fighter to watch, another factor that hasn't helped him over the years.

    Is he completely ****? No not really. Or yes. It just depends how flippant you want to be.. Was Tim Herman **** at tennis? "yes!" say some ppl. Well, maybe. Or maybe being in the top ten players on planet earth for a decaade making millions so you can retire aged 32, getting to the semifinals or a bunch of grand slams is actually pretty bloody brilliant. I think it's an age thing. You get in your thirties yourself and the achievements of others you took the **** out of when you were 20 start to seem pretty awesome. Maybe it's the fact that me and most of you will need to work for 40 more years to make a fraction of what some of these guys will be spending having fun during that time. What mugs they are, right.

    Audrey's been worse than Herman in a 'pound for pound' sporting achievement sense by miles. But you take the principle I hope. He's done ok. Maybe the best is yet to come. Come on Auders.

    He won a gold. Not an underaciever at all. Some people just were better suited to amateur. I dont think felix savon would have done better in the pros
