    Haye (well dah)

    Sexton

    Rogan and Williams are pick'em, and have wins over Audley to back that claim up.

    Skelton and McDermott are not far off pick'em.

    It would not shock me if Chisora edged a 10 rounder, but he would go into the bout as an underdog.

    Fury is always in the bout because of Audley's chin, but probably drops the decision.

    And I do not see Audley being too interested in a rubber with Sprott for that matter.

    Boxrec list it as the EBU title, though I think you might be technicaly correct.

    Anyway, Schmeling won that title by knocking out Adolph Heuser at Adolph Hitler stadium and one paper reported that Max Schmeling had KOd Adolph Hitler.

    Fair play mate.

    I would like AH to take any of these fights. I agree the Skelton and MAC fights are pick ems as is any fight the man has. I don;t think there is much between him and Skelton and Mcdermot, and **** me, if AH threw we wouldn;t be talking about this.

    Id pick Audley ahead of Chisora though - whatever AH faults I think he would pick him off and do enough,. Just.]]


    Fury - I think AH stips him - in 8 or 9.

    I'm no fan of Tyson Fury's abilities as many will know but I'd strongly back him over Audley Harrison...

    Tyson would simply have a pair of balls far too big for Audley. Fury is severely limited in many aspects but when things aren't going well as we saw against McDermott he still gives it a great effort. He always throws punches, he's always in the opponents face. I can't see Audley faring well against a guy his size that maintains that kind of work-rate.

    Yes it is a mere technicality (that boxrec should pick up on)

    As you probably know but others may want to know the EBU was formed in 1946, European title fights previous to this, were sanctioned by the International Boxing Union (IBU) or by national organizations such as the National Sporting Club (NSC) in Britain.

    Agree 100%.

    Barring another hail mary I'd see a similar, maybe more one-sided fight than on Friday.

    I am mocking someone because they claim to be so good, but like you suggest, actually they are not.;)

    Thats the third time you've mentioned this...on what basis do you think his chin is bad?. Other than being banjoed once Harrisons chin seems to be the least of his problems

    Still don't like mockery...when you have the testicular fortitude to get in the ring and let 17 or 18 stone men hit you on the chin then you can mock, until then I think that educated criticism would be more in order.

    I have sparred at obviously a much, much, much lower level.

    I have played Rugby Union to quite a fair amateur level, I thing I have shown testicular fortitude from time to time when it was needed, to quite a high standard in fact.

    His chin is his main problem. I watched enough boxing to suggest that Audley's lack of confidence comes from a doubt about his ability to be hit.

    As a top level amateur and a near 10 year pro, do you think it alarming his reactions to an opponent on the front foot?

    Also I get the impression he thinks too much in there, even when he is on the front foot, he is far too cautious. And for a man who's greatest asset is truly amazing fast hands and variety of punch, he needs to be relaxed and more natural to be affective.
